QuestionImportant: Does the refurb process replace/correct the well-documented faulty wireless card in this laptop?
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer No, it does not. I purchased this refurbed from best buy and had to replace the wifi card with an intel version to make it at all reliable. Even then, it does not get as good of a signal as my old Vaio when I'm upstairs away form the router.
