Inspiron 1300 Wireless connection problem

Hi all,

I  have an Inspiron 1300, Microsoft XP.

I cannot connect to the internet using the wireless adapter. The wireless network wizard symbol on bottom right of screen has a red cross through it. The green wireless light is not luminated. Was working well until if suddenly stopped.

My adapters are:-

Broadcom 440x 10 10/100 intergrated controller

Dell wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI card

When I click on wireless network wizard icon I get te following message :- The radio of yout wireless adapter is currently not turned on. Press the cancel button and turn the adapter's radio on.

When I try and turn on the radio in the wireless utility, I get a message "the dell wireless WLAN card is still disabled. Press Fn-F2 to enable it". Fn-F2 does not do anything and I do not have any wireless switches on the sides of my laptop.

I have gone into device manager and it says that the card is enabled. I have attempted uninstalling the drivers and re booting, but problem still prevails.

My internet hub is working ok, and have connected my laptop to internet successfully using an ethernet cable.

Hope someone can help

Thanks
