Whenever a laptop does this at work there is something that fixes it guranteed everytime.  Install hp wireless assistant.  If you install that and run it, it will show you that wireless is disabled and you can click to turn it on.  If "turn all on" is grayed out hit the wireless button above the keyboard and then you will be able to click turn on.  It's almost like these hp laptops get to a state where the wireless button above the keyboard turns on the wireless card but does not enable it, or vice versa and only hp wireless assistant can fix it.  Please anyone let me know if this helped you, it

After trying everything I could think of, that did the trick, Thanks

HP Tech support just walked me through fixing this problem.

1. remove battery and unplug power supply

2. press and hold power on button for 30 seconds

3. leave battery out but plug power supply back in 

4. press power on button and then tap on the f10 key immediately (a number of times)

5. the bios setup menu appears

6. select reset defaults 

7. select save and exit

System boots and the wifi key turns from orange to blue

I just reset the bios and it fixed that problem, only thing is, that switch was really handy on the front. Silly fiddly button. 

Anyhow

turn off > restart after completely stops say 15 secs (not really necessary but people seem to like doing it) > so yeah after it starts running start pressing you hotkey for the bios, some it's f8 some it's f10 when you enter the whole blue/red/black screen thing, go to bios > reset to defaults > save and exit > bob is your uncle (Voila in the King's English)
