Wireless Driver Enable & Disable itself

hi my fellow internet frds..

since i while ago my laptop's wireless been behaving really weird..
the wireless driver will suddenly disable and gone from the network list

going into Device manager, it says "this driver is not installed " or sth like that...
cant exactly rmb what it said,

and sometimes the wireless bars in the bottom will show a yellow "!" with no connectivity with showing only the network i connected to.
if i repair it the driver will be gone...almost have to repair like 10X times to get it come back on, (or i think i came back on itself)

or sometimes just no network "no connections are available"


1st thought was virus, but did full scan...no virus....just did a Full Format and reinstall window, and 1st thing i've installed the wireless driver..still happaning...


im starting to guess is hardware problem??!?!??!

did kinda drop my laptop a while back.........
maybe something is loose inside which causing this???

HELP!!! =( really really pissing me off

gonna buy a mac...!

ps: "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer."

Hi.

This is the website of your laptop,

Sony eSupport - VGN-Z555DN - Support


Scroll down to the WIRELESS LAN ,is the last one in the list,there find download and install the Intel® Wireless Driver Update to "fix" any compatibility issues with Windows 7.


Then if needed install\update the wireless driver from that list.

Hello ching, hopefully your problem gets solved soon.

However, saying you are switching to macs because your pc doesn't work is like saying you are changing from eating chicken to eating birdseed, because its organic or something. Poor analogy perhaps, but keep in mind you posted that tid-bit about a mac on a pc forum. But I do agree, macs may be easier to use if you prefer 'ease' to everything else. They are also quite a bit more expensive.

Perhaps, as you say, dropping the computer has somehow messed with the wireless adapter within your computer. However, because it is a laptop, you would need to get it repaired professionally, perhaps through it's manufacturer. Otherwise, in addition to Panais's post above, you might try this tutorial to see if it helps you any: Internet Troubleshooting Guide - tutorial created by Dinesh

Is always a good idea to download first the utilities\softwares.

Then completely uninstall the software\driver.

Then install\update the software\driver.
