What particular model is your Sony Vaio? If there is a function key, it should look like a WiFi tower on one of your F keys. Other than that, a physical switch would be located on either the right or left side of the unit, or on the front of the unit.

If you cannot find a physical switch, is there any way I can get a closeup picture of your keyboard and laptop? I can't find good images online.

Disabling the Wi-Fi(R) (Wireless LAN) Function

You can disable the Wi-Fi function by following these steps.
Open the charms [Details] and select the Settings charm.
Select Change PC settings in the lower right corner.
Select Wireless in the left pane of the PC settings screen.
Change the Wi-Fi setting under Wireless devices to Off.
Hint
To enable the Wi-Fi function, turn off Airplane mode and change the Wi-Fi setting under Wireless devices to On.
To disable all wireless functions, turn on Airplane mode. The WIRELESS indicator light will be turned off.
The wireless function(s) whose setting is on will be enabled when you turn off Airplane mode. When any wireless function is enabled, the WIRELESS indicator light turns on.
Refer to Windows Help and Support for more information on Airplane mode.

When you look down at your WiFi bars (in the bottom right of the desktop), do you see an "!" or an "X" on the WiFi bars?

You may want to try re installing the wireless drivers on your laptop. Right click the WiFi bars, and then click "Troubleshoot Problems" if you see that available.

Post back with what Windows Troubleshooting does for you. If you have to reinstall the drivers, get back with me and I'll guide you through it. You'll have to go here to download the WiFi drivers.
