hook us up with a model number so at least I can take a look I know my sisters old vaio had a switch on the outside to turn it on and off.

Look for a button near the volume controls on the laptop. Might look like a satellit dish or something like a signal strength thingy, it won't be a physical button but smooth. If you press it it will light up. That's how it is on a lot of laptops.

See the buttons on the top left try the one to the left of the volume controls if your laptop looks similar.

sorry....Sony PCG-7112L

and the switch is turned on but the card inside isn't turning on.

so i've got to figure out if there's a function key combination or somewhere i can go in and turn it back on.

Reset the switch and then right click the icon for the wifi to manually disconnect from the network and reconnect. Sometimes it will be weird for wifi.

I'm not on a windows pc now but this might help if you view you're networks you can/SHOULD be able to re establish a link to the network through that in the control panel.

Then that should bring up something that allows to refresh the networks you're computer can see and then you can find the name of you're home's network on a list like this
