The connection between the wifi/Bluetooth card on my laptop and its mPCI-e slot is unreliable. After a few weeks or months, it starts to become erratic, causing frequent crashes, until it fails altogether and disappears entirely from Device Manager. I have also confirmed that it fails in Linux as well as Windows. So it's definitely a hardware issue. I find that opening up the laptop and re-seating the card carefully gets it working again for another few weeks or months, but then it starts to fail again. So I need a better solution.
My question, then, is whether the problem is likely to be with the card itself (which can be easily replaced) , or with the mPCI-e socket. And if it is the socket, is that something I can fix or not?
