I cant turn on my wireless assistant on my hp

In most computers, there is an LED light that glows blue when the wireless device is turned on and enabled, and glows orange when off or disabled. Some newer models use different a different color scheme, see the user guide for more information.
To turn on and enable the wireless device, do the following:

1. To turn on the wireless device, simply move the switch to the on position. On some computers, the switch is actually a touch point on the panel above the keyboard.
   
2. To enable the wireless device, right-click the HP Wireless Assistant (disabled) icon and select Open Wireless Assistant . Click Turn On . The HP Wireless Assistant (enabled) icon will display.
