Introduction

The Wifi card can be damaged by misuse of the computer itself, electrical surges, or faulty installation.

Some signs of a failing Wifi Card include the inability to connect to nearby networks, slow-speed internet, and intermittent connection.

When replacing or repairing the WIFI Card, use caution, as it is delicate and the screw that holds it in place is small.

Power off and unplug your device before beginning.
