Is it a bad card? & What's a good one? D-Link DWL-G650

Well you're going to find this interesting! So I put the card in and I noticed that if i bent in in a certain way it seemed to light up more than another.

So I keep trying it an eventually I was able to load a google page. Then I decided why not jam a piece of paper on the one side and see if that helps - it did!

So now it seems semi-fully operational with a thick business card folded in half, electrical taped to one side. Enough to post this message anyway.

Video might be another story. This was my college laptop so it's suffered a lot of abuse in transport especially having a wireless card always sticking out the side!

Problem solved then?

Meaning? Never mind, it's not solved, or...??

It sounds as if either the card or the PCMCIA slot is faulty. I'm very, very good, but I'm doubtful I can fix it!
