wireless - unblock dell-wifi soft block

rfkill list shows:

0: phy0 Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes
1:  dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: yes
    Hard blocked: yes

I already ran rfkill unblock all and yet still get the same results. I certainly don't see any switch for wireless.

The Inspiron 1420 laptop was purchased a matter of weeks ago from FreeGeek, and they generally test the hardware. While it could be a hardware problem, could this also be a software problem? Certainly the second soft block should be unblocked, yes?

The laptop has a hardware switch for wireless. Try switching it on. See image below.
