My PC's Wi-Fi Card Isn't Working and It's Flashing Orange – What Should I Do?
Asked by

I recently returned home from college, powered up my PC, and everything was fine for about 30 seconds. However, after I moved it, the Wi-Fi card got dislodged. I reinserted it, but now the PC won't recognize it and is flashing orange. I can't post a picture due to some reason, but is there any way to fix this issue?

It sounds like the orange light is indicating a problem, possibly related to the motherboard. Make sure that all your cables, including power and video, are securely connected. Also, double-check the Wi-Fi card to ensure it is firmly seated in the PCIe slot. If it still doesn’t work, look up your motherboard's light codes to see what the orange flash specifically means.

Did you try plugging the Wi-Fi card back in while the computer was still on? That can sometimes cause issues. If you can, upload a picture of your setup to an image-sharing site like Imgur and share the link here!
