windows 7 adapter not connected

paul2louise

I have a sony vaio laptop model pcg-7183m with windows 7 installed on it. I was using it tonight just checking emails and a note flashed up on screen about wireless connection. Now I cannot connect to the internet as it says wireless internet is not connected and there is a big red cross.

I have tried disable and then enable but nothing changes. I even tried plugging the ethernet cable from my desktop into it and it came up with error 651. I have a netgear router for internet access and my desktop is working fine with this via the ethernet cable

I cant dowload anything onto the laptop as I cannot connect to the internet from the laptop.
Can anyone help

Usually on laptops you can turn off Wifi to save power - there should either be a switch on there that you've acidentally knocked or there's a key combination you've unknowingly pressed - on my Dell laptop it's the Fn key and F2 (it's got an antenna icon on it).
