Can you try to:

1. Uncheck "Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" under the wireless card properties on the Device Manager

2, Turn off the PC, remove the AC adapter and battery then press & hold the power button for 30secs (this drains the power off the unit).

3. Reconnect both AC adapter and battery and boot into the BIOS by pressing F2, when you're in, press F9 to set BIOS to default and press F10 to save and exit BIOS.

4. If the same problem occurs, try to reconnect the RP-TNC connectors on the wifi chip (these are the white and black cables). To do this, see page 43 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual
