If it worked before, have you tried:
I had a similar issue where the WiFi card just randomly stopped working, and doing the above steps corrected the problem.
I have a laptop so holding the power button will just turn it back on
Remove the battery and try the same steps.
If it's one of those internal ones, you might need to look up a teardown guide for your laptop model.
Nevermind, I got it fixed a different way (see the upddate to the post), thanks for trying to help though.
