Laptop sudden problem

So last night I was using my laPtop, it was running perfectly fine. So, before I went to bed, rather than just closing the lid. I put it on shutdown and waited until it was fully shutdown. Here's where the problem occured

This morning when I woke up, hoping to get some work done. My Laptop was starting up fine, but I noticed that my Itouch wasn't charging nor syncing with ITunes which I found too odd since once inawhile my USB refuse to work on the spot, but then my mouse didn't work, so I thought I would restart. Shortly after that, I went to device manager to figure out what's up. All my things that are related to providing wLan connection have problems and also my USB won't work, so I can't go on the Internet nor use anything that needs a USB connection.
Also, I tried doing the un install methods for each thing and let themselves reinstall. And it didn't anything.

Any suggestion on how I may be able to fix this. Like ive done restates and boots several times, and now it's just frustrating me.

It sounds like you have a serious hardware issue. Do you have a utility that can check that the internal voltages are stable? Have you tried disconnecting external devices like your Itouch?
 
Well what I tried was. At first restarting the computer itself, after that I tried discounting everything and let my battery slowly drain itself. Then I just tried to fiddle around withthe hardware without causing too much of a problem in the future just in case anything goes wrong. I called like some tech support, they had no clue of what I was really talking of, and they say to come in and fix it, it will cost about 249(GeekSquad) so then I was like, I don't think it really be worth my 249 dollars to go get my laptop repaired when I could possibly fix it myself. But yes I have tried disconnecting my itouch and other things along with it
 
If you need to get someone else to fix it, shop around. There must be cheaper places than you quoted.

There could be a number of failures but all the items you mentioned use higher voltages. USB is 5V, I think i devices are up to 12V and I should think most module voltages are at least 5V. Does the dvd drive work? Any fans running?

It could be a power supply failure of some sort. The CPU voltages being low would shut down the laptop which is not your case. I don't know if loss of higher voltages would do that.

No utility like Speedfan or the manufacturer's utility onboard? Unless someone else has ideas, you are stuck. You have no means of testing. If it were my problem and I could not check voltages via software, I would put a multimeter on the power supply board to see what was going on there, taking the necessary anti-static precautions.

If the wlan module itself is faulty, the way to find out is to replace it. You probably don't have access to a spare to try that. A repair shop may, or you have to risk buying a new one and hoping it's the problem. That's all the advice I can give.
