My wifi signal drops whenever I move my laptop

Lenovo N580

Seems to be a routine problem with this particular laptop model

to remove the underside cover on that model it should be 2 screws (opposite side of the battery) to remove then that panel slides out to left off.
there you’ll find access to most of the innards.
the smallest ‘hole’ is where the wireless card sits, you could detach the antennas, unscrew it and remove it.
clean the contacts and reseat and re-attach everything. you may get lucky.

I pulled the wireless card out and then put it back and now it seems to be perfectly fine. My wifi isn’t dropping anymore!

Thank you!
