Title:

Why does WIFI turn OFF when pressing on corner of laptop?

Text:

When I press on the lower left corner of the laptop - near where the wireless enable switch is located - my wireless disconnects. The indicator light also turns from blue to red indicating that the wireless is disable even thought the switch is in the ON position.

I suspect a lose connection or bad solder joint for the switch.

I need some detailed pictures of this area of the PC. The last picture in the teardown sequence doesn't provide quite enough information to see where the problem may be without actually tearing down my laptop.
