A random question - however:

Some laptops have an option in the BIOS to enable or disable the use of the WIFI switch to turn the WIFI On/Off (For Security).

You might be able to turn the WIFI On in the BIOS, and disable the use of the external switch - enabling your WIFI again.

Alternately if that doesn't work - disable the WIFI in the Operating System and buy yourself a cheap WIFI USB Adaptor.
