The device which is allowing me to write is a different technology and the source which is allowing me to post this article and which is allowing you to read the same, is also different. But, when these different technologies our merged together they can really make our life easy to a great extent. But we do need to be careful about using such devices and technologies because of the harms they cause to us and the other thing is if we do not keep them in check then they also cause a lot of trouble for all of us. Our laptop allows us to do a number of works which is increased when it is connected to a WI-FI but what if the Wi-Fi stops working? You will probably we screwed. So here we bring you some methods which can help you from being screwed.
Is the WI-FI turned on?
The very first and very easy step is to check if your laptop is connected to the Wi-Fi before making it work. Most of the laptops nowadays either have a Wi-Fi button or a function key for connecting it to Wi-Fi. Press the Wi-Fi button on the keyboard and turn on the Wi-Fi. If your laptop is one with the function key (F3, F12, etc.) you just need to press the Fn key and then the functional key to turn on the Wi-Fi.
Not every PC has a Wi-Fi or functional key, so you just need to click on the power button.
Is there WI-FI icon?
The next thing you need to check after turning on your Wi-Fi is if there is a Wi-Fi icon at the bottom of the right corner of your screen. If you can’t see any icon yet, then you need to be in the network area to make the icon visible. But here you also need to check if there is any icon showing or not, if not then

Check the Manufacturer
If there is anything like USB etc. connected to the laptop, you need to remove it and shut down your computer. Now keep it somewhere safe upside-down and try to take out a battery with the help of a suitable screwdriver.
Remove the screw holdings then remove the back panel and search for the Network Connection Card.

Scroll down and then search the Wi-Fi driver for the Manufacturer of your network connection card. Click on download and wait till it downloads.

The best network connection card for you is of the same manufacturer which you will be replacing. You need to find the same manufacturer but in case, if it is not available then you need to look for the card of the same size as the one you are replacing.
Replace the Connection Card
Turn off your laptop and place it upside down on a plain surface and get a screwdriver to take out the battery. Remove the screw holdings and also the panel and take out the Network Connection Card. Detach the wires carefully connected to the Network Connection Card. Remove the screw holdings carefully and then try to take out the network connection card carefully and keep it aside and safe.
