I seem to be experiencing the dreaded "Wi-Fi: No Hardware Installed" issue on my MBP 17. Zapping PRAM, BT off didn't help. Any ideas? #
@tomdar2 Perhaps…strange that it just happened with no warning, just a reboot in reply to tomdar2 #
@lafcpug Did that..took the batteries out, just to be sure. nada in reply to lafcpug #
@timothygregoire Worth a shot! in reply to timothygregoire #
Hmmm…the 10th or so restart seems to have fixed things. Very, very strange. But now my battery says it wants service. Haunted Wednesday #

@DaveHamilton Has anyone suggested "human nature" to you as an explanation? in reply to DaveHamilton #
Defragged my MBP last night with @drivegenius and it feels like a new machine. Sorry pundit friends, but a defrag can make a big difference. #
@SimonCGN There is some auto defrag that the OS does, but I still find a dedicated, complete one makes a world of difference. in reply to SimonCGN #
@abrooks19 Ah yes…but defrag is a bit more cost effective than an SSD…at least until new MBP's debut. in reply to abrooks19 #
@markfuccio @drivegenius A perfectly good method, but it takes a *lot* longer. in reply to markfuccio #
@DaveHamilton I did it in prep for Macworld, so that would have been early January in reply to DaveHamilton #
@DaveHamilton Varies, obviously, but probably 75 – 85%. More than it should be. And I move lots on and off of it due to show production. in reply to DaveHamilton #
@DaveHamilton Agreed, and may implement that in the future. Holding out for new MBP. Otherwise, will rip out DVD and put in SSD in reply to DaveHamilton #
@andyzoom01 @davehamilton I'm really not sure; not a File Vault user. Might want to ask the folks @prosofteng in reply to andyzoom01 #
@Surfbits @davehamilton Right, no defray of SSD drives in reply to Surfbits #
