My laptop has been giving me some grief and I'm wondering if anyone else has had any similar problems, and if so what solutions they've found. When I turn on my laptop the display usually stays black unless I hold in the power button for about 15 seconds (flushing capacitors?) then it works fine. And my wireless card is almost always not detected, although occassionally it is. When it is not detected the device doesn't even exist in the device manager - leading me to believe it's not a driver issue but something much worse... Is my motherboard crapping out on me? Or is there just some rediculous power-saving settings that are bugged and easily fixed? I don't know where to start with this problem! Any help would be appreciated.

Jump to PostI sugguest you go to the laptop manufacturers website and check out their support page. You should be able to get the latest and greatest drives, patches, BIOS, and fixes to eliminate software as the cause of your problems. If that doesn't work, your mb might be going south.
