    After I install the Dell 1390 wifi card, half of my keys on the keyboard are dead. Remove the wifi card / update the Bios did not help. The only thing I can think of is may be when i put the wifi card in, I put the white antenna cable on the black plug and black cale on the white.Any help?

    I would check ZIF tape connecting keyboard to mobo. IMHO there is nothing linking Wi-Fi with "missing/not working" keys apart from that flat cable...

    I would definitely think the keyboard connection tape, keep reseating it. :)

    okay guys thanks for the tips.So i read on the forum that same thing happened to some guy after he upgrade his RAM and he did not sit the RAM properly in the slot. So I went back and took the card out and give it a brush and all.Works like a charm now.Cheers.
