wireless card not properly installed...help please

hey i have a toshiba satellite m105-s3401, and i have a problem with my wireless card. whenever it doesnt connect to my home wireless network, it just stops responding. like when i try to right click the icon and tell it to repair, it says

"windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following actoin could not be completed:
Disabling the wireless network adapter

please check to make sure your device is properly installed"

after that, the only way to reconnect to the network is to completely restart the computer. this has been going on for about a month now and i havent been able to find any solution. please help me.

 

Have you tried reinstalling/updating the driver for your wireless card?

 

Assuming it's a mini-PCI card, you might try reseating it in its slot. I had problems like this on another laptop with the card disappearing and needing reboots to get it back. I eventually replaced it with another Intel mini-PCI card I found somewhere on teh intarweb and it was fine after that.

 

@bchen06-i have, and i have repaired it and removed it and reinstalled it, all the the add/remove programs list

@twrt-i dont really know what kind of card it is, but its not removable. it came with the computer and it doesnt come out.

 

If yours is like the one on this webpage, then the wifi card is removable but may not be mini-PCI, it's hard to tell from the photo.

I'd suggest reseating it in the slot and see if that helps. If not, you can probably get a part number off the card, and a google search on that might give you a lead on where to buy a replacement.
