I have a Lenovo thinkpad e540 and it does not want to connect to the wifi, but will work when the Ethernet is plugged in. It says that the wifi is not turned on, but there is no external switch.

I'm pretty sure it has been connected before, but I let my brother use it and now it doesn't work

Make sure you network drivers are still enabled (or installed), do this by going to your device manager.

If they are still running, then I would try to see if you have a troubleshoot option, right click your WiFi and click "Troubleshoot problems."

The wifi might be off on your laptop

Press 'Fn' + F8. I think it's F8, which ever function key has the wifi icon.
