STUDENT Wireless HELP!

I live on campus in the dorms and i usually don't turn off my HP 2000 laptop. I just shut it when I'm not using it. So, when I opened it today I noticed that the wifi key light was orange but no matter how many times I tried to turn it on..it just stayed orange.<br><br>So then I went to try and plug in my ethernet cord. Didn't help. Didn't even light up as it usually does. So I then went and tried to troubleshoot the connection problem, but it came up with &quot;the diagnostics policy service is not running.&quot; then when I tried to set up a new connection, it said &quot;Windows did not detect any networking hardware.&quot; I Don't know how to enable or turn on the wifi!<br><br>I've also tried turning it off and removing the battery. Didn't work. Theres no wifi switch in the back. The only accessible piece is the battery.<br><br>I'm SO LOST and frustrated! Im going to need my computer ASAP for school. Someone Please help me!!
