    One thing I have noticed on that is that you should have the ORIGINAL card installed so that it shows up in the BIOS. Make SURE it is enabled... THEN swap in a new card.

    Try that...

    Can you be a little more specific as to what the WIFI is doing? This is like saying: my car doesn't work do you know what's wrong with it?

    You could be having a conflict between the Digitizer and the WiFi. You state it stopped working. What changed between working and not working?
