Firstly thank you so much for replying to this post but the method you showed me didn't work. I tried re-installing windows but didn't work as well. Those drivers are really 'stubborn'. Any other ways?
Actually when i tried manually installing the drivers, it appears that the third driver that you gave me is not supported by the hardware? I am not sure how to go on now. Should I send it to the shop?

Please provide the hardware IDs are there are multiple wireless card variants in each Dell system. For instructions see here:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/downloading-drivers-checking-hardware-ids-and-downloading-and-installing-dell-system-drivers-in-the-correct-order/checking-hardware-ids-in-the-device-manager/
Also refer to driver installation order (I explain it in a bit more detail than the official Dell article):
