wireless question

nikimcbee · 09-16-10, 06:29 PM

I think my wireless died on my laptop

, the wireless on/off button doesn't work, the light is off, and there is no power. Is that controled by the PCI card? I opened my laptop up and there's the PCI card

. If that is the case, then I can replace it.

Install the latest drivers for your wireless adaptor, or, if you've done that recently then roll-back the drivers.

Got any friends (should I leave this sentence right here?) nearby who have an adaptor you could try, or you could just nip to Best Buy and buy a cheap usb adaptor!
