In reply to Bruce. Bruce, Usually laptop antenna cables running inside the display panel. Here's something to try. Access the wireless card and reconnect both antenna cables on the card. It's possible the antenna cable makes bad connection with the card and reconnecting it will fix the issue.

My laptop will only pick up wi-fi if i’m right next to it. It’s a Sony PCG-FX63. I read that it might be the antenna. So where is the antenna? I am using a linksys plug in card and qwest’s PK5000Z router.

In reply to Bezukhov. Bezukhov, The video card integrated into the motherboard and cannot be removed or upgraded. Did you reinstall the operating system after you purchased the laptop? This might help.

I have a PCG-FXA63 that I bought at a flea market last month. Don’t laugh, it works fine, although in retrospect the $100 I through down may have been a bit steep. It must have been the Bourbon whispering in my ear “To hell with the money, buy it!”

I added 256MB of RAM for $15, hoping it would help with the problem of videos playing choppy. It was only a marginal improvement. My question is can I upgrade the video card? From the little reasearch I’ve done I’m led to the conclusion that it is soldered on to the Mother Board. Is that info accurate? It is an ATI Mobilty Rage, or something like that.

In reply to Harlan. Harlan, I looked at the large picture of the keyboard and didn't find any Wi-Fi key. I doubt that you can enable or disable the wireless card via keyboard shortcut. If the wireless stopped working, take a look at the device manager. Make sure the wireless card is not disabled. Right click on My Computer icon and then click on Manage. Go to the device manager and find the wireless card. Right click on the card and enable it if disabled.
