    Help with troubleshooting my Pci adapter
    « on: December 15, 2014, 07:48:17 AM »
    So I broke the plastic part that gets the signal on my ENLWI-1XN42 n150 wireless adapter, i just bemed into it wrong and it broke.  I have another one and I put it on there but now my computer isn't even registering that I have a wireless adapter.  I didn't hit hard it really was just the platic piece that I hit got a bad contact with and it put a little to much pressure so it broke on the hinge.  But I don't know what to do to troubleshoot it.

    Try taking the card out the slot and putting it back in, it's possible that you've just knocked it loose.
