Answer 1

Did you pay the bill

Answer 2

make sure that the wireless connection is enabled on computer (not disabled). If that doesn't work, then get it to a computer shop, they probably have to help you install something back into the computer

Answer 3

first, there might be a button somewhere on the laptop that turns off the wireless that you might have accidentally pressed. sometimes its not a button but a combination of the function "FN" key next to the space bar and one of the "F" number keys on the top of the keyboard. usually the function key will have a different color that matches the color of icons on the F-number keys. the wireless usually looks like an antenna with waves coming out of it. try that. if that doesn't work your card could have gone bad and you might just need a new one. since your computer is older, it maybe hard to find a compatible one.
