    Wifi problems T510!

    Hi

    I have a very frustrating problem with my Lenovo T510 on windows 7. I cant connect to the internet, and Iv e tried with two seperate connections and routers. The wireless network is there, so it has detected it, but when I click connect it says it cant, then if I troubleshoot it, it just says restart the router. I have tried this, but s I said its the same problem in different places.

    I have done a system restore which didnt help.

    In Device manager, I have two network adaptors enabled, its always been like this : INtel (R) 82577 LM Gigabit network connection, and.....
    INtel (R) Centrino (R) Ultimate N 6300 AGN.

    Last night, a bit of liquid was spilt on my laptop. But only went on the very right hand side of the keys, enter and the arrow keys etc. And I instantly turned it off and took out the battery, and let it dry out completely. Ive turned it on today and everything seems to be working fine. It wasnt much of a spillage, and I know the T510s can dtand a small spillage.

    Does anyone know where the wireless adaptor is in these laptops? Because if they are placed on the very right hand side then maybe that would be more cause for concern.

    But the fct it can see the network makes me think it s not that!1

    ANy help greatly appreciated

    Thanks

    What liquid did you spill on it?

    How about booting a "live" Linux CD and checking whether you can connect there?
