if can't find one on the Philips website, try here Philips BDP2985 Manual
but be careful where you click todownlad the actual manual and some "free software"
Maybe your internal antenna has come unplugged. Try opening the back plate and looking at the wireless card, usaually they have a black cable and white cable pressed onto two studs on the wireless card. carefully try to push the cables down firmly onto the card. NB this may void your waranty make sure battery is taken out before you start and not plugged into mains.
since one of the computer is going w/l, that means router should be working fine. the computer that is not connecting might have some w/l settings that neds to be changed
enter the product number of your NB, then in the search bar type manuals. It will take you to the manuals page.
You will have everything you want..pictures.. initial setup screens, specifications etc..
For wireless internet there is a switch in the NB that need to be turned on. It looks like a tower and sound waves coming out. After you do that you need to have a router and a dsl / cable broadband internet connection to be able to connect to the wireless internet

I experienced this problem last night, and seemed to have fixed it this morning.
SYMPTOMS: HP Pavilion dv9000, Win Vista x64 Ultimate. Running on battery, battery level became critical; windows went into 'Hibernate' mode. Upon plugging in to mains power, and resuming the Windows session, the Wireless is still disabled, no matter what position the switch is in.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Critical battery switches off the wireless network card to preserve power. Motherboard seems to log this status but when re-connecting to mains power the card does not receive power again. Uninstalling the driver and getting Windows to re-install automatically upon re-boot does not work.
SOLUTION: Charge up the battery whilst the computer is running. You can charge it to a substantial level, say, above 25%. Disconnect mains power so that your laptop is running on battery only. Set your wireless switch to OFF (this is usually to the left position, away from the orange indicator). Now run your computer down to the critical battery level again (perhaps overnight). In the morning when you press the power button, the 'CHARGE' indicator (looks like a lightning bolt) on the front of the laptop should flash quickly, indicating that there is no charge in the battery. Remove the battery from the laptop's underside. Wait a couple of seconds, then press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Keeping the battery off the laptop, reconnect mains power. Boot up your PC. When at the Windows desktop and all your startup programs have finished loading, switch your wireless on (to the right position). You should now have a blue light, and wireless should once again be working. You can now re-insert your battery. You might have to setup your wireless network connection again as mine seemed to be 'lost', but at least hopefully the main problem is now fixed.
