There should be a compartment at the bottom of the laptop (You need to remove the cover with a small philips screwdriver) with a mini PCI or mini PCI express wireless card in it (You can identify it by the fact that it has two antenna wires connected to it). Once you remove the card you will need to find one identical to it online and replace it.
