I spilt coffee on the kids laptop a while ago and is started having issues, mainly it will disconnect from the wifi and you have to restart to connect again. I spent ages trying to fix drivers and reinstalled Mint but it still happens, so it might be a hardware issue.
Should I go to some computer guy to get it cleaned out or is it not worth it for a 10 year old laptop intended for a pair of toddlers?
Wifi usb dongle for under $10 at MSY?
God old ethernet to the router?
