WiFi shield no presente error

Acabo de comprar el Arduino Wifi Shield. He seguido las instrucciones de configuración y subí su código, pero me aparece el error: "El escudo de WiFi no está presente". No hay LEDS encendidos en el escudo. Utilizo el Arduino Uno 2009. No es la versión más nueva de R3, así que hice la conexión para el 3.3V. ¿Por qué el código no funciona?

El Código

/*

 This example  prints the Wifi shield's MAC address, and
 scans for available Wifi networks using the Wifi shield.
 Every ten seconds, it scans again. It doesn't actually 
 connect to any network, so no encryption scheme is specified.

 Circuit:
 * WiFi shield attached
