To enable wireless you will have to check two things.

1. Whether the wireless button on the laptop is turned on or turned off.

There are a couple of different possiblilities for location of the button.

On the side of the laptop, normally near the hedphone jack
Pressing boht the FN & F2 keys at the same time
Pressing F12 after boot.

The wireless button will have an icon of wireless antenna.
If the light on the wireless button is amber then it is turned off. If the light is blue then it is turned on.

2. We can also enable the wireless from the HP wireless assistant.

Click on the start button- in the start search field write (HP wireless assistant)-- Turn on the wireless network
