Hey there,
About a month ago I got knocked over and I fell, having my laptop in my bag. Luckily I didn't fall on my laptop, but my laptop stil took quite a hit when falling on the ground. I immediately checked on it and I saw nothing was wrong, atleast at the time. My laptop was protected by a protectioncover btw.
When I got back however I noticed my wireless internet wouldn't work. My airport didn't want to activate. It activates, and within 4 seconds it deactivates again leaving me unable to connect to the internet. Now I have to design in the livingroom where I'm connected with a LAN-cable.
Now I figured it must've been a hardware problem, so I thought: "if I give it to my local apple store, it should be fine."
The problem with this is, I need my laptop constantly. I'm a graphic design student and I work a few hours a day to keep up with my schedule and designwork.
I'm not a genius in computerhardware, but I do know each laptop only has one receptor for using wireless internet. And here's the funny part: I can use wireless internet on my Bootcamp, but not on my macintosh.
I haven't tried to download anything or do anything because I'm afraid I'll mess up my laptop more than it already is.
I also tried those usb-wireless-sticks but I have no idea how to use them.
Would anyone be so kind to tell me what's wrong and how I could solve it?
