[QUOTE="asma123, post: 1453169, member: 102130"] More than likely you need to replace the airport card. You can try taking apart the machine and removing the airport card and cleaning the pins/slot with 99% alcohol and a toothbrush. Also, when using it, check if the machine is freezing due to it overheating. install something like istat pro to check temperatures. If it is freezing due to it overheating you will probably have to take it apart and clean it and reapply new thermal paste. Avoid doing hard restarts as this will lead to a failing hard drive.
