Hi, I'm a high school student from Australia having an annoying problem with my laptop.
Now normally my laptop connected to my router perfectly fine in my room with an average of 3 bars. Recently however I got it serviced and now my laptop can't even find it when scanning. I have gone back into the house (my room is a caravan) to see if it was completely broken but I got 4 bars. So then I thought it was a signal strength drop from the router since it has been slightly repositioned. But no, my HTC phone get 4 bars in my room in the same spot where my laptop can't even find it. Anyone have any explanation on this?? Thanks

Wireless antenna wires are tiny and just pressed onto pins on the internal wireless adapter. It is easy to knock them off while servicing other parts.

Also check and see if you have a wireless switch or a keyboard function key combo. This may have been hit and turned wireless off.
