Last night, i was doing some work on my laptop while in bed.. propped up under the sheets with my system on my lap. well somehow, i slept off with it still on my lap (never happens unless i'm really knocked, and i was from the trip i made yesterday). well to cut the long short, i woke up at about 4 to the sound of something smashng into the floor. yes my beloved laptop. groggy as i was, i didnt want to dealwith it and i left it as it was, in that position (wide open, face down. ) well this morning, payback. it wont recognize my wireless net card. i have done everything...swapped cards with my gf's laptop (mine works with hers, so its not the card) tried rolling back the driver, reinstalling the card, unplugging, fiddling, making sure the connection was tight to no avail. yes i know i shouldnt have been sleeping with my laptop (especially since i just chided my gf over the same thing about a month ago when she dropped hers as well and messed up the power contacts.) any ideas at what i've done? i'm assuming i've either (best case scenario) loosened a contact between the pcmcia slot and the mboard or (worst) broken the pcmcia card slot device thingy. :( now my day is ruined. i'd be damned if i send it to sony.
