    Which model VAIO?
    Does it have a physical switch to turn the Wifi on or off?
    If so, did you open the laptop? You might have closed it with the switch in the wrong position -the switch has a projecting plastic part that fits into a corresponding notch in the knob (the part that you move from outside when the cover is closed). I have done that myself once. Make sure that moving the knob actually operates the switch.
    Or the connector that powers the small PCB where the switch is might not be connected properly.
    If that is not the problem, the switch itself might have gone bad.
