Laptop Wireless Randomly Stopped Working

G1LLY said:

The guide I mentioned says wear an anti-static wristband, problem is I don't have one on me, is it absolutely necessary?

Could I do anything else to prevent damage or should I just wait & buy one, then try?

Do not wear static-electricity-generating clothing.
Do not work at or stand-on a static-electricity-generating surface.
Immediately before you start working on the laptop, discharge the static electricity from your body into the object to which you would have been connecting the waistband.

Does your laptop not qualify for the recall I posted?

Sadly not.

Thanks for the tips, after reading up on a few things I'm just gonna take the part I bought to a local computer repair shop & get them to fit it, after all I don't wanna risk any more damage & expense.

Thanks again everyone for all the help

A very wise decision.

I have a similar, but slightly diffrent priblem.
My wireless stops working randomly. (gives the "no connection avaliable" sign).
To fix it all I have to do is to put my laptop in sleep mode and than start it again. And it works again till the next crash.

Does any of you have an idea what is wrong??

Please help,
Mitja
