		 Lightly push on the antenna symbol - I've seen that as well but I have worked with your particular model. 
 
If you can take and post pictures of the keyboard, left & right sides, and front under trackpad I can likely tell you which one it is. 
 
I looked up your system tag and that says you have one in there.

		 Tried the light tap, the forceful hold, and swearing.  
 
Here's the best pic I can get of the board... Sorry for the crappy camera phone. The one of the front won't turn out. There aren't any buttons or switches on it... One of the first things I looked for, a wireless slider.

		 Yep... I will try and see if I can get wired somehow. My apartment building has wireless but I don't know where the router is. Will contact the landlady tomorrow or the next day.

		 Got hardwired on my GF's line and sat through two hours of tech support on Dell. Had to do it to avoid the restocking fee for a return. Their conclusion after going through a standard tech, his supervisor and the senior IT guy there- computer is irreparably f****d. Wireless card is defective, just like I told them from the start. This was a refurbished machine... Apparently it was returned after purchased new due to the SAME PROBLEM. So the solution was to slap a refurbished sticker on it and send it to a new customer. 
 
After my last Dell I said 'never again'. Bought this one for my mom because she needed a cheap one relatively fast. Sticking with my motto this time, and waiting on SlickDeals.
