T60 - No Wireless Connection after removal of Keyboard

I have a Lenovo T60 with XP Pro and which has been networked in a LAN with my desktop. The T60 accessed the Web either through an Ethernet cable to a Linksys Router and a cable DSL modem or by wireless connection to the router.

I removed the Keyboard recently to clean it and ,since replacing it , my wireless connection is dead.

The Ethernet link works OK and there are no errors showing in Device Manager with the Wireless card.

If I go into the Command Prompt and type "IPCONFIG" I get "Media Disconnected" showing and the little "radio mast" icon at the bottom of the screen display frame is unlit and in the Network Connections page I get "No wireless Connections Found in Range".

Is it possible to have disturbed anything significant while removing and replacing the keyboard - the antenna connections , for instance ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The keyboard works OK since its replacement by the way.

 

Check the antenna connections to the wireless card. I don't know where they are on the T60, but my T400's wireless card is slightly left and above where the keyboard plugs into the system. If your Thinkpad is similar it is possible you bumped one or more antennas off from the card.

 

Yeah, the antenna wires just press into their individual contacts, I believe.
