5742z wifi capability problem

Hi

Ok so, this morning the wifi connected and was working fine, i closed the laptop down and went to work. Ive since finished work, came home and powered up the laptop to find the wifi logo with a red cross through it.

The home wifi connects to my phone and other devices in the house so its the laptop with the issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver from the Acer website, been on 'Change adapter settings' and they all have a little red cross and say not connected and of them are enabled.

Windows troubleshooter says to turn on wireless capability, use a switch.. there is no switch... or to use function key, but the FN key doesnt work (tested with volume keys).

Can someone help please?

Thanks

Bit of an update.. windows troubleshooting report says

Root cause:
Wireless capability is turned off

Detailed root cause:
Radio is off (HW switch)

The switch referred to is the FN + F3 combo toggle key switch to turn the wifi back on and off. Jack E/NJ
