it must be in front of your laptop, try to look closely this is a sliding switch

First, look thru HP Health check and download all recommended.
Second, go to HP site, download and reinstall WLAN driver and HP Wireless assistant software
Third, download at the same site HP WinFlash BIOS Update and update BIOS (READ and FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY)

Reboot.
If you are lucky ;-)  WLAN will now works - try to switch it on by WLAN switch.

wireless button (or slider one) is located in the front key pad .






or if not then find the wireless Logo around the Laptop then just turn it on.

good luck
and rate all answers.

Did you reinstall the drivers for the device? Check the Device Manager for your system and see if Windows sees the wireless device. If you have a red X, the device is disabled; if you have either an unknown device or the wireless device with a yellow dot with a black exclamation point, then either the driver is not installed, or the driver is improperly installed.

Hi...
This is a hardware issue the the switch need to be replace.
If the computer is in warranty contact HP.
Thanks

I agree. Need more info. Is there a driver loaded for your wi-fi? Is it on??? There is usually a switch for your wireless in the form of a pushbutton or slide switch somewhere on the unit. Make sure it is powered on first.
