when you say it wont start up do you mean that windows wont start up?

if that's the case it can be software related rather then hardware. if you can go into bios, by pressing f10 or f12 right when you press the on button, then it's most likely a bad hdd or the operating system is corrupt. depends on what the warranty covers, they might fix the wifi switch but not the windows xp/vista on the laptop for sure
