Can I put an Intel Advanced-N 6230 wireless card into my Pavilion dm4-3050us laptop?

I have been having problems with the wireless connection on my dm4-3050us laptop for several months now and am hoping to replace the wireless card in order to solve these issues.
Will I be able to put an Intel Advanced-N 6230 adapter into my machine?
If so, is there anything special I will need to do in order to make it work as it normally would? (i.e. special adapters to make it fit into the machine, driver updates, etc.)

You can use one of these:
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WLAN module 631956-001
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 WLAN module 572511-001
It HAS to be an HP branded card with the HP number. It is not good enough if it is another card with the same wifi chip. Only HP branded and numbered cards will allow the system to POST.
Here is the Service Manual:
Manual
See page 41. You may find that you need 3 antenna leads and the laptop only has 2. It is very hard to string another antenna lead but it can be done.
Here is the Advanced-N card on eBay which appears to have only 2 leads:

You will need to load the correct Intel driver and I would just have it downloaded to the laptop before you do the swap:

Link to the Windows 7 driver above. Good luck. This should be pretty much plug and play for you but post back if you need more help.

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook and Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WiFi Card

I've got a dv7tqe (Quad Edition HP Pavilion dv7), part #XW397AV, notebook computer. On page 8 of the manual, it says that the
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 wifi card is compatible with this laptop. However, upon further research online from many sources, including suppliers, it appears that this wifi card is not compatible due to HP's whitelist in the BIOS.
I'd like to know from an HP representative whether this card is truly compatible (it's not listed on PartSurfer for this laptop).
I'd also like to know why HP feels the need for a whitelist for wifi cards. Is it to force your customers to pay your exhorbitant markups for replacement parts?
I'd really like the answers to these questions. If it's not compatible, then it shouldn't be listed in the manual.
I'm also posting this as a warning to potential future HP customers that these types of inconsistencies as well as gouging their customers for replacement parts is commonplace for HP products.

Hi:
This is a consumer to consumer forum.
You will not receive any answers to your questions from anyone speaking on behalf of the company (HP).
It is more complicated than the wireless cards having to be listed in the service manual as supported.
1. They must also have the HP part # on them, or they will not work.
2. There are a few cards listed in the service manuals that have the wrong part numbers, and no one knows the right part number.
So, when you think you have the right part number, you sometimes get the wrong card which may or may not work. It just so happens that the Intel 6230 is one of those cards which no one can seem to find the right part # for.
Therefore, changing a wireless card in any HP notebook--especially a consumer model like yours is nothing short of a nightmare.
3. No one has an answer for the whitelist issue. If you want to believe that it is to force customers to pay exorbitant markups for replacement parts, that is certainly your prerogative.
If you don't want to pay HP's prices, do what I do and go on eBay and query your search by the HP part number and get a used but tested and working wireless card for pennies on the dollar.

I have an existing new belkin modem router which works fine with quiet a few wired and wireless products in my house. My question is if i buy a time capsule can i put it in another room and wirelessly connect it to the belkin modem router, I would then just like my macbook pro and (imac future purchase) to wirelessly back up to it???????????

Your will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the TIme Capsule to clear out the current network settings and then reconfigure it to "join" your wireless network using the AirPort Utility setup application.
To perform the Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule....
Pull the power cord from the back of the device
Wait a few moments
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule and keep holding it an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power cord back in to the Time Capsule
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 25-30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
On your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Continue
Follow the guided setup and choose the "join" option when it appears duriing the setup
You will need to know the exact type of wireless security that the Belkin router is using to enter this information during the setup of the Belkin. Otherwise, the Time Capsule cannot join the network, and you will receive an error message after the configuration process.

How can I put balance back on unused itunes gift card?

How can I put balance back on unused itunes gift card?

You can't, once you redeem a card it's balance is transferred to your account, you can't transfer it back to the card. If you've only just redeemed the card and haven't spent any of it then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can put it back onto to the card or transfer it to a different account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

We need the system P/N to find out what the Service Manual says if it comes with or without a dual band wifi.

Can I put the hard drive from my unrepairable iMac into another equivalent iMac?

THE LOGIC BOARD IN MY OLDER IMAC IS KAPUT. CAN I SIMPLY PUT THE HARD DRIVE FROM MY FAILED IMAC INTO A WORKING EQUIVALENT IMAC? ( I SEE PEOPLE SELLING THE SAME IMAC ON CRAIG'S LIST FOR $150.)

Hi.
Yes, you can install the drive from the old iMac into another same-model iMac and it should have no problem booting.
Optionally, I would suggest you search online for a FireWire external drive enclosure. Take the drive out of your old iMac and install it into the FireWire drive enclosure. Now you can use your old drive as an external, bootable hd on your replacement iMac, or on any other Mac that you might purchase in the future.
Of course, you could swap the drive from your failed iMac into the one you buy on Craig's List... then put the drive you take from that into the external drive enclosure.
I suggest a FireWire enclosure because the older iMacs, the PPC models, can boot from an external FireWire drive, but I believe not from a USB drive.

Can I put my iTunes playlist onto an SD card, if yes, How?

I have a new Mac Mini with an SD port. I also have a new car that has an SD slot on the radio. Can I transfer my iTunes playlist to the SD card and use it in the radio rather than jacking my i-pod into the car?

Yes. Highlight the tracks in iTunes, and drag them to the SD card. This puts a copy on the SD card without changing anything in your iTunes library.
Make sure the format of your songs is compatible with your car player.

T430 with Intel Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card cannot see 5Ghz network

I have two machines with the exact same Intel 6300 AGN wireless cards. Both running Widowns 7 64-bit. Both have same versions of Intel drivers installed. The X230 sees and connects to my 5Ghz wireless network. The T430 sees only the 2.4Ghz network. The 5Ghz network is not even displayed in its list of available networks.
The T430 sees other 5Ghz networks in the neighborhood. Using inSSIDer I can see that the wifi card is functioning on the 5Ghz frequency as it displays 3 other nearby networks. But I have no way to test connection since those are not my networks and are secured (as is mine).
Windows also shows those neighboring 5Ghz networks in the list of available connections. Only my own 5Ghz network is absent from both lists.
Both my 2.4 and 5Ghz bands are broadcasing their SSID's. All MAC filtering is correct and both machines are allowed on the networks. The WPA keys are correct.
I have even copied the network settings from the working X230 using the "Copy this network profile to a USB flash drive" option from the wireless network properties window and added the 5Ghz network to the T430 using the USB key. So I know the settings are identical.
I ran Lenovo diagnostics Wireless Quick Test on both machines and got identical successfull results.
The only thing amusing about this issue is that the X230 wifi card was purchased from an eBay seller in China and that is the one that works. The card in T430 came with the laptop direct from Lenovo and that one has trouble. Both cards have Lenovo FRU numbers and clearly are whitelist approved since they both work. Just that the T430 card only sees the 2.4Ghz network.
I have assigned static IP addresses to both machines on the network.
I have rebooted the router.
I have run all Lenovo and Windows updates on both machines.
If anyone has further suggestions I woul really appreciate assistance.
Thank you.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can I connect Tower w/o wireless card into my Airport Express via ethernet for internet?

Greetings. I have an airport extreme sending wireless internet signal all over the house. I have a music studio computer Intel Xeon that has no wireless card in a seperate room. Am I able to configure an older Airport Express 802.11g that is connected wirelessly to the Extreme signal to connect to internet signal to my tower via the ethernet connection on the Airport Express?... i.e., connect the ethernet cable from my tower to the ethernet port on the Express to access internet signal? If so do I have to set up the Express for a certain kind of configuration that is different than, say, if I were using the airport express for airplay or a printer?
Thank you for your help. Jeff

Am I able to configure an older Airport Express 802.11g that is connected wirelessly to the Extreme signal
Unfortunately, the older AirPort Express model that you have does not have this type of capabiility.....an "n" version of the AirPort Express would be able to do what you want.
Look for a Model A1264 or Model A1392. The A1392 is the newer version, but the A1264 would do fine.
Here I assume that you have an 802.11"n" version of the AirPort Extreme.

T40 Intel 2915a/b/g wireless card Unauthorized????

To get needed WPA2 security, I upgraded (?) my T40 from Cisco Wireless card to Intel 2915a/b/g. Now get error 1802 "unauthorized entwork card is plugged in". This is the card suggested by a 'guru' member of this forum.
What are my options? I need to access secured wireless networks.
Thanks for any help.

Most ThinkPads have a "white list" of cards in their BIOS, and will throw an error if the non-approved card is used.
If you Google the term "no-1802" you'll find the solution, although I don't endorse it personally.
Good luck.

Can i put a intel based hard drive in my ibook g4?

Im wondering if its possible to install a intel based hard drive in my ibookg4,and am wondering if it would be more reasonable to do that instead of buying a completely new computer.Any websites you could show me,or info you could give me would help me a lot.Thank you

There really aren't "Intel based" hard drives.
However, what your iBook needs is a 2.5" PATA hard drive. If you're looking to use a hard drive from, say, a MacBook, that won't work because MacBook hard drives 2.5" SATA drives. What was your plan, exactly?
You can check iFixit.com for instructions to replace the drive--it will take a few hours, and there's a LOT of screws involved, but the project is certainly doable.
Take a search through the boards for other similar topics & you'll find some good advice.

Can I put an Intel X9000 CPU in my Satellite X205-S9359?

Go at it Ladies and Gents! Help

This is what you have now: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7300 2.00GHz, 4MB L2, 800MHz FSB with 64-bit • Mobile Intel® PM965 Express Chipset
NO is my response as nothing is gained. WHY risk overheating, and other headaches. While the X9000 has a 2.8GHz rating, each board is specifically configured to meet a design to function under load of other components. If anything I do a memory upgrade from 2GB to 4GB, that helps with Ultimate, and then check out if there is any BIOS upgrade in effect.

Can I put a hard drive from a 12" powerbook into a 17" powerbook?

I have a 12" powerbook which needs a new logic board. I have found a 17" powerbook for sale which needs a new hard drive. Could I put the hard drive from my 12" into this 17"?

Hi and welcome to Apple discussions!
Yes they both use the same type/size hard drive.

How can i put customs dates/anniversary dates from my contacts into my iphone calendar?

I have set up custom dates in my contacts as well as anniversary dates. I'd like to know if there is an app to import these dates into a calendar, it doesn't have to be the iphone standard calendar. I'd just like them to show up as a normal calendar entry, rather than having to add them manually into the calendar. Also, if you have an anniverary date in a contact, and then a relationship as "spouse" to another contact, does this not assume they will have the same anniversary date and therefore update their contact details with this event too ? I don't mind having to buy an app, but most of the ones i have read only add birthdays, and i want to ensure all the custom dates I have set up get imported. These are for friends children's details who don't have their own contact set up in my phone. Thanks, any help appreciated!

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02642701.pdf
Supported wireless cards are listed in chapter 3 starting on page 24.
From the looks of it, you have a choice of the Atheros AR9280 802.11a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi Adapter, or the
Broadcom 4322 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN adapter.
You must only get one of the cards listed in the service manual and they MUST have the HP part # on them, or they WILL NOT work in your notebook.
Make sure you choose a card with the part # listed for your locale.
