Also, many people inadvertently shut down WiFi as button is often hidden on the laptop. Sometimes it is a button with LED, sometime it is simple switch on the side.

Good call, lots of laptops have buttons or switches (often small and practically hidden) to disable the adapter.

What version of Windows?

If you try to connect, does your laptop "see" any SSIDs (wireless networks)?

If you pull up wifi do you get a list that probably includes your network, your neighbors networks, etc...? If you do get a list, then your adapter should be enabled. If you don't get a list at all, then something is probably disabled.

If you do get a list and your adapter is enabled, then you could try "forgetting" the network and then connecting again and re-entering the password for your wifi network.
