I did go on this website and what i did was to reinstall the network driver but the system stated already installed. Tried the FN and F key to turn the wireless card on, still no luck. Windows still diagnises the problem as "switch your network card ON"

What I have noticed is on Device Manager it states I havent installed the PCI Communications. Could this be why.

I don't know what the PCI Commucation so i went on the website to install it, but still no luck.

Do you think it is the PCI Communication that is the problem
