Look in Device Manager. If there are no error symbols shown in there, and there is no wireless adapter listed under "Network Devices", the wireless adapter has probably failed so Windows isn't detecting it.

If your laptop is still covered by Dell's warranty, contact Dell to have it repaired free of charge.
If warranty has expired it will cost you too much to get it fixed so buy a USB wireless adapter.
