Isn't there any programs in the start menu, or maybe goto network connections and try setting up an automatic wifi connection. I have some desktops on a wireless and they are setup to connect automaticly when they boot. Does the laptop have something similer or is your problem with the actual power button on the outside of the laptop for wifi connection?

Hey, yer well the connection is fine when i put the cable in but the wireless button just doesnt function. when disconnected i try pressing 'connect to a network' but it doesnt seem to find my wireless connection. i thought maybe there was another way to connect by using a function key or something but can't seem to find anything. thanks for replying, any other options? x
