if it's like the nc6220 then it's not a bug, it's a fucking stupid design fault.
you need to be able to do bga reflow to fix this, and you need to ditch the wifi card.
if you remove the wifi card, there is a big chip under it wih silver foil ontop of it.
that's some lame atempt at a heatsink because they had no space between the chip & wifi card.
you need to remove the foil,
reflow the chip - it wont need a reball.
then glue a heatsink on the chip and put he cover back without the wifi.
if you just reflow it without dumping the wifi-card for a heatsink, it will just fail again.
it's not a crap solder problem, it's a trapped heat that breaks the solder problem.
if you bodge it, it will just get worse and also trash the wifi card with the heat!!!
The majority of the NX and NC series suffer this fault. It will reoccur again after a while. I considered adding a heatsink/retention clamp system for mine but for such an old laptop it's not worth the effort.
As far as I remember it's because the chassis doesn't provide enough support around the ICH chip, allowing it to flex.
