need computer help

[evan9381]

got a compaq presario m2000 from my g/fs parents a couple weeks ago. it was pretty f'ed up, so they said if i can get it fixed, i can have it.

 

well, i took it to my dad, he got it up and running, everything was fine, except the screen would go haywire with the colors if it was in a certain position

 

i had a couple people say the cable was probably loose. so tonight, i start to take off the back cover to get to the cable, mess with it for a couple hours before finding out the cable connection is above the keyboard and just unsnaps to get to the connection.

 

well i get to the connection, make sure its in fine, start the computer back up, and the screen is fine. NOW, i dont have wireless. the card is plugged in, but the computer isnt showing it. ive clicked the button to connect to wireless, and it doesnt do anything.

 

any ideas?

I had a compaq laptop that i had completely apart at one point.....the antenna for the wireless runs around the frame of the lcd screen ( highest point when opened ). It's also right in the same area, and under the same access panel as the video cable for the screen.....i'd just reopen it and check it out. .
