HP tx1127cl notebook wireless stopped working

The wireless adapter on my daughters, tx1127CL HP Pavilion notebook suddenly stopped working overnight. I've updated everything with the latest and greatest version, reinstalled the network drivers, etc., etc., etc. The Windows device manager does not even see the WLAN adapter. I performed a complete power down reset as recommended by one of the readers in another post. Tried to reseed the adapter on the bottom of the notebook, but this requires more dismantling than I wanted to do. I noticed that other HP notebooks have had hardward problems related to WLAN adapters. Has anyone seen this problem on this model or have any other suggestions for me ? A big THANKS in advance !!!!
