    Hi

    What Windows version and Service Pack are you using?

    Pressing the power button to hard shutdown the laptop can cause software/driver faults, so if you are still having the issue with Wireless, then re-install the Chipset driver and reboot and then the Wireless driver and reboot and test.

    Drivers HERE but as not knowing your Windows version what 32/64bit it is we cannot narrow down the drivers, but just choose Windows version from the dropdown.
