It will depend on the actual laptop model you are using. If you really want
to check out the chance of changing your network card, and want it cheapest,
you might do a search on EBay. Yet, I do warn you, it is not exactly cheap -
most cases - to do any update/fixing on a laptop. Also, you will need a good
chunk of skills, so as to perform the hardware operation, as a laptop is
pretty tight, and you most likely will have to pull it more or less fully
apart to accomplish the task.
An USB network card, or a piece of tape, as already suggested, will be your
cheapest, and easiest choices. If your computer still has a warantee on it,
I strongly suggest you take it to the dealer, and have them take a look. Has
this been going on for long, or is it traceable as to when it all started?

Subject: odd question concerning computers
Hi list,
I know this is off topic, but I need your advice.
I use a laptop computer with a built in network card. You all know
that when you plug in a network cable, it makes a click sound while
entering the slot on the computer. The cable would be tight then. My
Toshiba laptop does not do that. I can still enter the network cable
in to the slot, but it is not as tight as always and I don’t hear the
click sound. I tried several cables, but they also don’t go in very
tight. You can remove them easaly.
Can one replace a network card or just the slot on a laptop?
Kind regards
Morne
