It would be helpful if we knew the Make, Model of laptop and the OS you are using. I suggest you try Updating or Rolling back the Wireless adapter for starters.

How can I turn on the wireless capability on my Asus G60VX laptop? the switch on the front left is on and still nothing. trouble shooting says wireless capability is turned off. it was working fine untill...

I can figure out that your laptop runs Windows Vista. Go to Control panel, then Network and Sharing centre and then go to Manage Network Connections and see if the Wireless Network Connections icon is disabled, make sure it is enabled and not connected. Try disabling and enabling it again. If still no go, try to manually turn off the wireless switch and turn it back ON. Check the light status (if any), confirm the error message too. If still, it seems not to be working, then the internal switching might have gone bad. You need to get the laptop serviced.

How is wireless capability switched on my laptop

Check the BIOS setting - the wireless card needs to be enabled.
Next check Control Panel - Device Manager - Network Connections. The wireless card it should be enabled and working. If it has a yellow ? against the wireless card then the wireless card driver needs to be installed.
