Hello setto,

 

Odd that the ethernet is not working either.

 

Few questions for you;

Have you confirmed that the telephone connection is good and that your ISP is not down

When you reinstalled the drivers did you install the chipset drivers first.

Is the wireless device enabled in the BIOS.

Have you checked the Device Manager for any yellow ! or red Xs.

A Microsoft Windows 7 disk will not contain the drivers for your MBs chipset or for your wireless LAN device etc they will come on a separate disk which in this instance should have a letter e on it and say drivers & utilities. check the download lists here and you will find the appropriate Windows 7 32 or 64-bit drivers for your notebook, try downloading the chipset drivers to a thumb drive and then install them from that.

 

No network card/device detected atm but check again after installing the chipset drivers.

all chipset drivers up to date, also have drivers and app disc, still no joy

Have you established a secure connection between your router, notebook and the internet, this will involve inserting a disk provided by your ISP and you then setting up either a WAP or WAP2 secure password.
