    On the bottom of your laptop there is a cover with 1 or 2 screws.
    Open it up and there is probably a wireless card and memory.
    Take out the wireless card, reboot the laptop, uninstall the drivers, shut down the laptop, put wireless card back in, boot laptop and install drivers.
    This worked for my dell m70 when I that same problem.
