Dell Inspirom 530 - WiFi card won't turn on.

About 2 days ago, I had turned my computer on and I hadn't been on it in a week or 2 because for some reason my computers WiFi connector was not turning on in the back. Usually, if the wifi is turned on, there is a green light flashing in the back which tells me it is picking up or searching for a signal. And once I turned it on, it had started working again. So I played on it a bit and got off. But when I went to turn it on today, it wont pick up any signals. My router is working perfectly fine since I'm typing this on my iPad. Assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

blieker,

 

Try this tweak, then restart your computer...

Start, control panel, device manager. Click on Network and then right click on your wireless adapter, left click properties, power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.

 

If it doesn't work, then run the Finding System Information Tool and post the information back here.
