32. Another problem that may plague your computer is
hardware problems. Perhaps the internet doesn't work
because the actual wireless card is physically damaged.
In this case, troubleshooting will not fix anything, and
you'll have to repair the broken part.
If you are not able to solve your problem with a
troubleshooting wizard, you may need to take your PC in
for clinical repairs. You could have a deep-rooted software
problem, that most PC users don't have the experience to
figure out.
