[ale] Dell laptop service?

DISCLAIMER: Speaking from near-total ignorance, as usual!

Could the wireless modem be a [replaceable] mini-PCI type? Those can be
found on eCost and eBay.

Pull up some product pictures from those sources and look under doors on
the bottom of the Dell. You could try a swap if you have another similar
laptop, and see if that solves the problem.

Well,  I would just go buy an external PCMIA (SP) card.  with todays 
tech rates You would out run the worth of the laptop.  Plus if it is an 
older Laptop you would be able to do G.

Then there is the added bonus of getting a card that an external Ant. 
can plug into.  Makes for better wardriving.
