Wifi dongle's signal drops after placing it close to the lid

Hello . I just modified my old compaq N800V 's wifi card(in a lid) to newer wifi dongle.Everything works good except wifi signal.If i place the dongle away from the screen,i get good signal but as soon as i place closer,signal drops.Looks like the LCD lid is made of metal mixed plastic.Another i had to remove the enclosure from the wifi dongle to fit it inside the lid.Is there anything that you guys can suggest me? Thanks
