Can i install a wireless card in my Satellite P30-141 's wireless bay?

The P30-141 doesn't come with wireless functionality and i can't track any wireless antennae cables which should reside within the top casing of the machine, but i'd like to know if it's possible to undertake my own installation of a toshiba wireless card? Would anyone out there know of a specific wireless card model / part number which could be used to do this? I'm quiet happy to tinker around inside the machine as it's four years past the warranty i believe and i've already replaced the LCD once, so i'm pretty familiar with the guts of it, just can't find any documentation on getting this component into this particular machine.
Any advice would be a great help!

Hi Simon,
Sure if you have the relevant PC slot inside, i'm checking a P30 - 131 (which i can't even find in the db here, think its foreign spec but a uk board) for one after telling my client it was easy. If you peek under the keyboard you can see a wire trench running from where the screen cable comes in to the main body. If its empty you need to fit the antenna cable, if present awesome just put in the relevant wireless card and clip on the antenna plugs. If the wires aren't present, simples.
They're quite cheap on everyones favourite auction site, you just need to get in under the screen bezel/surround and lay them down. They lay around the screen itself under the bezel. You'll find simple pictorials not necessarily for your specific laptop but they are mostly the same. Then bnring them through and lay them through the trench under the keyboard and clip into the wireless card. Well obviously you now have to set up the relevant drivers, curse a few times as it doesn't connect, wonder furiously at what is going wrong and then bing it'll suddenly connect although you've done nothing different over the past couple of days.......... The biggest issue you'll find is not to damage your bezel.
Anyway good luck, i'm gonna now try to work out if this model (see above) will do this.

Can you install a SIM card in a iPad model MD510B/AR

Can you install a SIM card in a iPad model MD510B/AR

Nope this appears to be a WiFi model only if my information is correct. If you have the device to hand then check it for a SIM card tray. With the Home key at the bottom the SIM card try if available will be in the top-left corner.

Can I install a graphics card on a Touchsmart 610-1050f computer with intel HD graphics

Can I install a graphics card on a Touchsmart 610-1050f computer with intel HD graphics and if i can where
can i find a graphics card that will install in that computer.

There are many MANY threads on this, the answer is that it's not worth your time since you have to have a replacement card that the HP system BIOS already likes,, and this is not the same as replacing anything in a desktop, this is the equivalent of replacing the graphics in a laptop.
Since the graphics cards are not considered a user upgradable component there are no lists of "approved cards" nor guides to doing it, the closest you could do is the service or recycling disassembly sheets.

I've got a Mac Book Pro 17" 2008 with FCS 2. Compressor 3 only gives me MOV-1 which are no use so I've bought Compressor 4 from the App store: it says the graphic card is not compatible. Can I install a new card on my mbp? If so which is best? Thanks John

Can I install a graphics card on Satellite M70?

I have got a Toshiba Satellite M70-394 (psm70e). I have seen that I have a pcie slot in my system through a hardware identifier program. Is it possible that I can install a graphics card through the back if I unscrew the back or get a professional to do it?

Hi!
> an express card slot.
Do you know what an express card slot is?
I think you are mixing something
The express card slot is designed for express cards. Its similar to PCMCIA cards.
You will not find a graphic card that is designed for the express card slot. For these slot you can buy USB extension cards for example.
Check your user manual!!!
There you will find more details about this slot.

Satellite L350-159 - Can I install a graphics card?

Hello everyone, I got a friend to check what graphics card I had the other day, as I play games and noticed that the graphics weren't fantastic. He checked it out and then told me I actually haven't got a proper graphics card!
I'd love to remedy this, but is there any way to get into the laptop to install a graphics card? and if so, what kind of graphics card would you recommend? some are rather big, and i'm not sure they could fit. I noticed some panels on the bottom of my laptop that can be screwed off - do one of those lead to a place to put a graphics card?
Thank for the help,
Michael

Hello
The graphic card cant be exchanged because its soldered on the mainboard. So thats not possible to exchange it.
If you dont believe it, read this interesting Toshiba document:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
As Akuma said the point is that the Satellite L series is not designed for gaming. I have a Satellite L300 and a Qosmio X300. The Satellite L is really great for my work, picture editing, E-Mails and office. The X300 is really perfect for games Its fast enough for all games I have.

Can't install a video card

Built a PC w/KT6 delta mb a week ago. Have been unable to successfully install a video card. Tried ATI 9600SE first. Took that back and got a Diamond S90 w GeForce FX 5200 123 8xAGP. Loaded new chipset drivers and used up to date NVidea drivers. Screen goes blackafter Windows 98 intro screen. Any ideas? I've reinstalled WIN98SE 5 3 times.....no luck.

I had the same problem with new video card in Win XP (and I think this may apply to Win 98 also). I am using a KM2M board with built in video.
After installing drivers for new video card, boot into windows with monitor still attached to built in port. Go to Display Properties (Where you setup screeensavers, etc.) and go to Settings. Set Windows to use your new video card by default and Apply. Screen should go blank. Move monitor cable to new card video port and Windows will return. Set resolution, etc. to desired levels.
P.S. Wonka needs to just tell everyone to get a 400 watt or better PS to solve all problems. Then we poor wogs won't be chastised every day about PS specs.

Want to install another graphical card on my Satellite A20

Hi there,
I want to install another graphical card on my SA20 - S103.
At the moment it is the standard Trident card that is running.
Is it possible to install a gforce or radeon chip?
If yes, which one would be the best?

Hi Stefan,
Sadly I don't think it will be possible to replace your Trident graphics card with another because it is an integrated design which is using shared RAM. In effect your graphics card has been specifically designed to fit in your notebook and finding a similarly designed card from another manufacturer would be virtually impossible.
Unlike desktop or tower PCs where the graphics card is a separate device which can just be unplugged and replaced, the graphics chip in your notebook is usually integrated into the design in order to save space.

Can i replace the WLan card on my Satellite Pro P750

I purchased my P750 to run wirelessly on our 5GHz (802.11a/n) frequency network.
Though I was informed it would work it does not. It appears that my hardware does not work on the "a" band.
My question is can the card be reaplaced or is it built into the board. If it is in built can an extermal wireless card be purchased to do the job?
Just in case you asked I have read the forums updated the drivers and enabled the "n" on the AdHoc advanced profile for my Atheros AR9002WB-1NG

Hi
The Wlan card is connected to the miniPCI port on the motherboard and its possible to remove/disconnect the card.
But there could be still an compatibility issues between new device (Wlan chip) and the BIOS.
I read here in the forum that someone has replaced the Wlan card and finally the notebook didnt boot up due to the compatibility problems between the Wlan and BIOS.
So in your case I recommend using an external Wlan solution.
The WLan stick is easy in use and should be compatible with most systems.

Do I need a wireless card in my PC or is the wireless router enough?

PC connects via ethernet to a wireless router. Laptop connects wirelessly. I want to run itunes off of the PC. It does not have a wireless card. Do I need one to make this work? I couldnt really get a straight answer out of tech support.

I am currently unable to connect to the Airport without the wireless card in the PC. I do have the box for iTunes enabled. It only works with the wireless card, but then it cuts out frequently.
Im trying to remove the wireless card from the equation to ensure that isnt my problem. Everything I read says i should be able to do this without a card, but it wont work.

Can I install Ubuntu in the SSD of Satellite U940-sp4103gl?

Please help me as soon as possible.
These are my questions:
Can I install ubuntu in the ssd of Toshiba u940-sp4103gl?
How to do that?
This is urgent, I'll appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Hi there
Sorry for a late reply!
Yes, you can install any late Linux distro on the SSD.
But You need to remove the RAID-config first (suggest using the DISKS utility).
Then you'll have SDA and SDB - depending on BIOS setup the SSD will get either one.
Point the installer to the SSD but make sure to format and set the HDD as your HOME mount point.
That will give you a unit with SSD performance but a large storage.

Can I change the graphic card on my Satellite A notebook?

Can I change the video card that is originally on to my laptop? And if yes, how?

Unfortunately this is not possible because the GPU chip is fixed and soldered on the motherboard.

Can I install a second card and have both work?

I am a Ham Radio operator. I have a Pavilion HPe desktop running windows 7 64. I would like to install a second sound card that would be used for Ham Radio digital modes and I would leave the onboard sound as default to run normal play back functions. I tried this with a Sound Blaster XFI Extreme PCIe card (SB1040). I got the card to work but it uninstalled the onboard card or the system would not recognize it. Is it possible to have two sound devices and they both work? I did this with an XP system no problem.
Thanks
Dave

based on some quick analysis you can use specific software to determine what you want to use as output. so check the software with the ham radio software to use whatever card is greyed out in the options on windows 7 and use that. What you want to do IS possible. we just need to figure out how to get it done.
so in theory, windows could be onboard, and your ham radio software program could use the dedicated card, you will just need to play with options. see if that helps
