Dead WiFi card?

I just recieved my new Alienware MX17x-R3 a few days ago and the wireless was working just fine. Tonight as I was playing an online game, my connection shut down and I was no longer able to see or connect to any signals. My wireless modem is fine, (I am using another laptop right next to my new computer and everything is just fine).

 

My wireless indicator light is on, I swithched it on and off again a few times just to be sure, and I rebooted a few times as well. I do not see my wireless adapter listed in the Device Manager and when I open up my connections all I see are bluetooth and ethernet adapters.

 

Looks like it might have vaporized in there but I might be missing something, any thoughts? Just thought I would ask here since I cannot call in till morning.

Thanks all!

Yep, called service this morning and talked to the "tech" for about an hour and they decided it was dead. They are sending out the parts and having a tech come out to my home to replace it.
