I have a problem with the wireless connection on my mum's laptop. It's been working fine but recently the message "wireless network connection not connected" has appeared. We can no longer connect through wireless. I've tried re-enabling it but no luck. I've tried the windows repair option but no luck. I've tried setting up the network again but still nothing. when i try to view available networks it says none in range.
Is this a hardware failure? Can anyone advise me??

More Info
We normally have to press a button for it to search the wireless networks and now when we press it nothing happens. Also if i right click the monitors and click view avaliable wireless networks its blank and nothing comes up!! Although there are at least 3/4 networks around my area including ours.

Have you changed any settings recently?
How old is the computer, and is it still under warranty?
What have you tried in order to fix the problem so far?
Which make and model is the laptop?
Is there a hardware switch anywhere on the laptop, other than the power switch?

yes i checked it throughly

OK - the fact that it's been working up until now indicates it may be a hardware issue - but first - have you tried system restore?
