  2. Problem With Wireless Card

Re: Problem With Wireless Card

It was an HDD, I switch to an M.2.

I did get an SSD that is SATA based  since my PC will only support one m.2. this way I have it backing up every Sunday as a clone in case something goes array.

Yeah, 2 should be enough for the person to get signal for sure.

It sounds to me as if the router itself might not be receiving internet.

We are getting a bit off track.

That's very  unfortunate for those people who just do lousy jobs.

 

Then again, as tech people, we do things within SOP, but not all things can be done that way. 

For example, SSD are supposed to mount onto a 5.25 bay area with an adaptor which can convert into either two or one 2.5 bay area.

but it can be easily mounted with just one screw or two since the SSD itself does not have moving parts, so no vibration will affect it. if cost is a factor to get the convertor adaptor or just a cheap solution.

i am referring to a desktop since laptop don't use such a 5.25 bay

 

Even SSD are much thinner, so that's some sort of plastic kit to make it a bit bigger to mount onto a laptop inside.

 

As for the original post about the wireless card issue, if you can move the wireless router or the desktop or computer nearer to one another, see if the problem persist.

i doubt 2 out of 4 bar of signal will random not connectivity.

And then I was told that the person who build my PC bastardized it.

Sure it works, but the drive was mounted to the building and held on by one screw rather than in the bey where it was suppose to go.

Kind of no choice, if you don't have the skills to do that, you just need to engage someone to do that.

You can try, but it's all about risk. 

just like you  will not fix a plumbing issue on your own if you are not sure how to fix it or even replace or repair a window that fell off etc.

 

People like us or tradesman  train themselves to do their job right and properly but unfortunately, not all of them are good at what they are doing.

Not as if I have hardware laying around that I can screw up.

Its definitely not cheap to have someone come here and install ram.

Fortuently I wont’ need to do that  any time soon.

I still build computers for companies, for sighted people with my bare hands.

 On top of it, I built it with some of my trusty toolkit which is not designed for the blind.

like one of them, the snapon toolkit

 

It all can be done, it's all about, learning and trusting your own skills/experiences and top of it, learn from mistakes.

 

 

I fix laptops, i don't build them but only part of it if i can get spare parts for it, like ram, motherboard, harddrives. 

i replace laptops/desktopsCPU fan and so on. 

I don't repair the laptop's monitor, it's all about the cost and effort of opening a fine plastic cover despite i have tools for them.

It cost $100 an hour for a guy to come here and change out  SSDS, put an M.2
in etc.
