Laptop has fallen. Wifi is out of order.

Post by michal136 »

Please stick with my mistakes i am not native speaker.

Ok so my laptop has fallen from the bed. Only about 40 cm height. Anyway sth bad happend.

Now i cannot use wifi cos it shows strenght of my network on 20% it used to be about 90%. I use mobile broadband internt now and it works.

So I figure out I need to buy sth to make my Wifi work.

You guys think that Wifi adapter is good choice? How to check it ?

before you buy anything, open it up and see if the antenna and/or card is loose.

Don't glue it, between where the white wire attaches to the card and the screw that secures the card to the motherboard is another antenna connector, there is a black arrow pointing to it on the card. You just carefully snap the wire connection to the one on the wifi card
