Wireless adaptor not working? Please help.

I received a HP laptop last xmas and recently the wireless card has not been working. There is a switch on the front for the wireless which turns from orange to blue when turned on. But now this does not work, and when I go into network settings it does not show any wireless networks and says that I do not have a wireless card.

Edit: sometimes if im on my laptop for a long time it will then automatically turn blue and work wireless.

Does anyone have any idea what this is? I have about 2 weeks until the guarantee runs out.

Thanks in advance.

This hasn't worked as it does not show the Broadcom in the list. I have downloaded drivers and installed them but no change. Sometimes when I leave my laptop on long enough the card works, but has not done this lately. Does anyone else have any ideas? My warrenty ran out today and forgot to take the laptop in, will try tomorrow if no one has any ideas. Thanks

It's Vista I have updated it and I check for new drivers when asked if I want to.
