Wireless Hardware Problems

[stubbyhs]

Hello again,

I am currently trying to fix a friends laptop, the details of which are attachjed. It's running Win7 Home Premium 32-bit.
I cannot get the wireless card to show in the network connections. It also doesn't show in the device manager that I can find.
I have tried uninstalling the drivers for both the LAN and Wireless and reinstalling them and I actually got the Wireless to work until it was restarted.
This led me to think that it was a service that wasn't starting, but I'm not sure how to fix this.

Any help is welcome, and thanks in advance,
Stubbyhs

have u used the FN (function key) to turn it on to see if windows picks it up, or checked BIOS as most show it within there.

Check under the device manager, I have never seen a Wireless Card show in the Bios.

he has run a 'systeminfo' report i would assume he has looked under device manager.

just e.g. from my samsung laptop.

I checked my laptops and didnt see it, and checked with my co-worker. I guess were special
