How do i turn on the wirless network adaptor
To turn it ON you must press the Fn+F1 keys together
have a look in device manager
Press the Windows key (bottom left of the keyboard} and at the same time press the R key, now in the search box that appears - type devmgmt.msc
click on the + against network adapters - see if a wireless device is listed maybe called an 802.11 device - any yellow ! or ? anywhere in device manager - if so then you are missing drivers after the windows 7 install - you do need to install drivers for various hardware devices - drivers are here, but only for windows XP for that make and model

They say on the website
Your product is not supported for Windows® 7.
Before you do a re-install to check the card - you could try UBUNTU running from a virtual CD, so you keep windows 7 on the harddrive ... often the wireless adapters work without additional drivers - maybe worth a try
UBUNTU
It may be possible to boot from another Operating System
This will at least test the Hardware
If you have another PC with a cdwriter and spare CD
gotohttp://www.ubuntu.com/ and download the ISO
full details are herehttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-v...
click on the image "download ubuntu"
Select a location
then begin download
Save the file onto your PC – remember where you saved it – so you can find it again to create the image bootable CD.
You do NOT copy the ISO file onto a CD - you have to use the ISO to create a bootable CD
The CD creator software you have on the PC may have an option to create an image from an ISO
If not - use this free programhttp://www.imgburn.com/
When the UBUNTU CD boots - you will see the following options
1) Try ubunto without any change to your computer
2) Install ubuntu
3) Check CD for defects
4) Test memory
5) Boot from first hard disk.
Use OPTION 1 "Try ubunto without any change to your computer" ONLY this option this will run from the CD and not install onto your harddrive - be careful, if you do install onto the PC - you will wipe the data and software OFF your hard drive.., so repeat only use option 1
Now you should see a UBUNTU desktop
This at least proves the main parts of the PC are working
