HP Wireless Assistant says it is turned off and Assistant can not turn it on from there, but gives no clue what to do. The light on my f12 key is on as normal. When I hold the fn key and press f12 nothing changes. There is no switch to turn on wireless like the older laptops. In one search they said there would be a certain key to push. I wondering if maybe the WLAN Module might have gone BAD?
Here are some essential step that you have to follow.
Connecting to a WLAN
To connect to the WLAN, follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the WLAN device is on (the wireless light is white). If the wireless light is amber, press
the wireless action key (f12).
2. Click the network icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.
3. Select your WLAN from the list.
4. Click Connect.
If the network is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a network security key, which
is a security code. Enter the code, and then click OK to complete the connection.
NOTE: If no WLANs are listed, you are out of range of a wireless router or access point.
NOTE: If you do not see the network you want to connect to, click Open Network and Sharing
Center, and then click Set up a new connection or network. A list of options is displayed. You
can choose to manually search for and connect to a network or to create a new network connection.
After the connection is made, place the mouse pointer over the network icon in the notification area, at
the far right of the taskbar, to verify the name and status of the connection.
For futher detail about WLAN and other features, please read its manual, you will definitely get some useful stuff.

I was using the wireless network, disabled the radio and after reboot was unable to get it to save the enable click. After reviewing all software options listed here - checked wireless adapter setting in BIOS - it was turned off! Turned this on in BIOS and upon boot was able to access wireless network again. Hope this helps you.
