I opened it this morning and had limited network connection, with only my router displayed as an available connection. I restarted it, it fixed itself for a few mins and then had the same problem. Sometimes switching WiFi on/off is not working, as though some application has taken control of it.

I disabled and enabled my network adapter and it temporarily fixed the problem in the same way restarting did.

It was fine yesterday, it ran out of charge when I went out last night and I can't remember if it was working when I came home, or if I did anything to cause it, because I was drunk.

Pls help me reeeee

I fixed it by shaking it until it worked.

I think the wireless thingy is loose.

Shaking is not good for the hard disk drives. In basic principle they work similar to record players, only that the read/write needles hover a hair's width above the disks. A kinetic shock, like from shaking the device, can cause the needles to slam into the surface of the disks while they spin at 7200 revolutions per minute, or 120 revolutions per second. The result are nasty scratches through the magnetic layer, and ruined read/write magnet heads.
