i upgraded my ram last night. it goes underneath the airport (wi-fi) card. i connected everything back up exactly the way it was, and all of a sudden i can barely get a signal if it all. if i’m sitting on top of a router, it’s fine, but my computer doesn’t have near the range it did before.
for the haters, my windows computer is still operating flawlessly.
previously, both my computers had exactly the same signal. now my windows computer has a full signal, and my laptop barely has anything when they are right next to each other.
any ideas?

loose connecter? is it an OEM memory piece? or some ebay junk Something might be cuasing interferance.
I would go back and check the antenna on the card.

did you try pulling the ram out to see if that is even the issue? maybe something else just started happening at the same time

maybe the extra heat from the memory?
just a guess
or possibly causing interference?

as it turns out, nytegrsx was right. the cable wasn’t all the way in. i pushed until it was firmly in there. just to check one more time, i pulled the keyboard off and pushed harder. it clicked again and i immediately found 3 networks. lol.
sorry i’m retarded.

Your internal wifi card will have a input for wires on it. There is prolly a minipci one that is in your laptop motherboard. Make sure that none of them came off it.
