Wireless Adapter Switched Off

The wireless adapter of my Lenovo Ideapad U510 is suddenly switched off, so it doesn't find available connections any more. I don't know how to turn it on again. Switching the flight-modus on and off doesn't help. Thanks for your help!

Hey..I only got the german windows version, so probably some buttons will be called a bit different, but anyway:

 

go to the network settings by right clicking the wifi symbol in the task line. Then go to the settings of your network adapter ( it is a button on the left side ). Now choose the wireless one. Above there should be something like a diagnosis or repair button. Now windows should start repairing the wifi adapter and then it should work again :)
