Has anyone had any experience with laptop wifi dying? It's an Acer 
ES1-411 and only three months old and under warranty, but I want to 
avoid having to send it away if possible. It shipped with win 8.1 and 
the wifi was working fine, including after I upgraded to w10, then one 
day it was just dead. but I can connect it with either a usb wifi 
adapter or with ethernet. I have also updated the driver for the 
internal wifi to the latest version. one thing to note is that pressing 
the wifi on/off button does not produce an on/off screen icon like it 
should. I'm hoping it's just a loose connection, so I will pull it apart 
to check.
