Wireless adapter suddenly missing

My sister has a HP tx1000 laptop.  She said she was no longer able to see any wireless networks, so I took a look at her computer and....

The wireless adapter is not showing at all in device manager.  And there are not any unknown devices or anything either.  I have never seen a device just completely disappear from device manager.  

Has anyone ever seen anything like this before?  Is is pretty safe to assume the wireless adapter has gone bad?

It's actually the built in adapter that came with the laptop.  Are those usually removable?
