HP Pavilion wireless problem

I have an HP Pavilion ze4800 that has lost its wireless capability.
The wireless indicator does not light up no matter how many times I press the button and no wireless networks are detected when I know there are networks in range.

I have an HP Omnibook xt6200 lying around. Can I take the wireless component out of the Omnibook and put it into the Pavilion?

Can I purchase one of those wireless things that can be plugged into the one of the slots on the Pavilion and thus restore wireless capabilities?

1. As long as they are both standard mini-PCI cards, you should be able to.

2. Sure - you can use USB or card slot (Cardbus or Expresscard, whichever type of slot you have) adapters.

Make sure that there isn't some setting in the bios that may have turned it off.
