Laptop wireless button does’nt make connection for wireless network

by len.piko . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I am working on a HP Pavilion DV8000 laptop. It has 512MB ram and running WinXP. My friend asked me to see if I could replace a noisy fan on this laptop. He also stated that his brother spilled soda and orange juice into this system. I started it up and amazingly everything still worked. I disassembled it and replaced the fan and heatsink with new parts. After reassembling everthing works accept it will not recognize the wireless network that is present. I since replaced two other antennas to see if this could be the problem. It still does not recognize the wireless network. The wireless button does not light up when pressed but the hour glass icon will flash on the screen at this time. All other LEDs will light up and buttons are functional.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
