And you previously removed the WIFI card, I recall. Make sure it's all connected well. You could also disconnect again and reconnect. It's most definitely an update that has removed the drivers. Even if you backdated to an earlier time it wouldn't respond.

Did you do the WPS check I mentioned earlier?

Yeah , I previously removed the laptop WiFi card, it reinstalled itself auto after laptop was restarted.
How can I do wps check if my laptop isn't seeing any WiFi networks?

Try locating Vendor ID and Device ID from device properties and searching the web using that info.

Driver free install it says. Don't suppose it's got a built in flash drive with the driver saved in that?

Do you have another computer to try it in?
