Can I replace my 802.11b Aitport card ?

Can I replace the older 802.11b Airport card in my Titanium G4,OSX 10.3.x, with a newer "g" or "n" card so that it will connect to a new netgear router? And where should I go to purchase one if it's possible?

Any compatible 802.11g or 802.11n cards will be PC Cards or external components such as the AeroPad mini. The internal 802.11b card isn't upgradable.

Can I replace my original LED control card to inverter card in T500

I bought my T500 half years ago. It is WXGA 1280*800 with LED backlight. However, I want to upgrade the screen to WSXGA+, which is 1680*1080, unfortunately, the WSXGA+ works with inverter card. My question is , can I replace my original LED control card by inverter card?
part number of those 2 are
LED control: 42W8080/ 42W8081 /42W802 ( I do not remember the exact same )
Inverter card: 41W1338
Thanks

Dell Axim X5 Pocket PC compatibility with Belkin 802.11b PDA card

Hello,
I was recently given a Dell Axim X5 Pocket PC and I'm trying to sync it to my IMAC using my internet connection. I'm running OS X 10.3. Dell's website stipulates that the compact flash card that I need is an 802.11b model. I purchased a Belkin 802.11b Wireless PDA Network Card to satisfy this stipulation, but upon investigation of the software I find that I need to be running at least Windows 98 with Window CE embedded. Is there anyway of me getting around this with my MAC???? To further complicate matters, when I attach the pocket pc to my USB port it isn't even recognized. Is this because it's a Windows device??? Is there any work-around for this?????
Thanks

Prakash,
Thanks for contacting National Instruments. According to hp's website, the 2490 does have a type II slot. Also, if you look at the datasheet for the CF-6004 it states that it is a Type II card. Let us know if you have anymore questions.

How can I replace ADM Radeon HD 3450 card in Pavilion dv7

In my HP Pavilion dv7 1110 ed is installed ADM mobility Radeon HD 3450 videographic card.
since 2 weeks ago i got all of a sudden a black screen.
When i looked over in google i find out that the most predictable problem must be at the chip on this video card.
So what i want to know is who can show me how i could replace this videocard from my laptop and what kind of better video card should i assemble.??

You're very welcome, John.
I agree that most of us would not want to do that complex job ourselves.
My advice would be to purchase a new notebook at this point because even if an expert works on it, if they don't do it for free, it will cost a lot of $$ to repair.
I only use HP business notebooks, so I am not familiar with consumer models -- which one of those to recommend to you.
A low end business notebook with a 17" screen would be the HP ProBook 4740s.

Can't connect iBook (802.11b) to Time Capsule wirelessly

Hey:
Just got my new Time Capsule--so far it's very cool; set-up was easy, my backup is progressing, and network set-up went well.
Only problem is connecting my iBook to it wirelessly. I've had no problems connecting my MacBook or Windows laptop; both use 802.11g.
I can see the network in the menu bar and in Network control panel; the authentication is set to WPA Personal by default. I'm entering the same password I used on my MacBook and Windows laptop, but I get the error:
"There was an error joining the AirPort network "<network name>."
I've tried setting it to WPA Personal and WPA 2 Personal, but no luck.
Any clues?
Thx!
-m-

Okay this is where I am at so far.
Time Capsule - wpa personal - sharing IP address:
Working - PowerBook, daughters old iBook, hubby windows xp laptop, wii, ps3, iPod touch
Not working - iMac, xbox360
The iMac doesn't bother me that much because its the first generation flat panel and its slow but I use it for an animal rescue I volunteer for and my banking, so its kind of a good excuse to finally get a new iMac.
The xbox360 however is annoying me BIG TIME. And I don't think its time capsule. I googled high and low all afternoon and night and from what I can figure out it will only take succesful wpa or wep settings from a router other than anthing not apple. And I am not going back to a non secure hidden network like I was before.
So tonight the next step is moving my cable modem and time capsule downstairs to the xbox and plugging the xbox directly into an Ethernet port.
I will post tomorrow if that worked.

Cannot connect to 802.11b AP

Can't connect to 802.11b AP from my MacBook.
MacBook:
Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x88)

Other devices CAN connect to this AP (iPhone 3G, Linux box w/ PCMCIA Wireless card) and my MacBook CAN connect to many other Wireless AP.
If i try to connect i got message "connection timeout".
I try to change long/short preamble in AP
I try to change channels (but Air Radar or iStumbler can't find other APs near me)
I try to connect with hold down Ctrl as suggested by Apple in one of kb articles
And still no luck
So i stuck into this issue... May be something wrong with channels standars?
11 channels (US, Canada)
13 channels (Europe, Asia)
14 channels (Japan)
how can i check this?
Please help me to solve this problem.

What type security are you using? I noticed above its set to open?

Airport Extreme vs 802.11b WPA

I am having difficulties with 802.11b clients connecting to a Fast Ethernet AEBS in WPA2 mode. When the clients try to connect, WPA2 is not listed as an option, only WEP is listed in various forms. These SAME clients can connect to an older AEBS on the same network via WPA2. One client is an iBook G3, the other is a old PowerMac G4.
I tried turning off the ACL, restarting the base station, upgrading the firmware to 7.3.2 and setting the FE AEBS to b/g only mode. No joy.
Any ideas?
- gws

If the "802.11b clients" are Macs with original AirPort cards they can NOT connect to WPA2 protected network.
The 802.11b AirPort cards can connect to a WPA protected network if the Mac is running OS 10.3 or beyond. But they can not connect to a WPA2 protected network.

Airtunes and Airport 802.11b

I've seen lots about Airport Express and iTunes but.......can I use an older Airport 802.11b standard card in my iBook to beam iTunes across to an Airport Express base station ? Help

Hi there,
We have 2 Power Mac G4s here with std Airport cards fitted (Extreme cards won't fit). We have an Airport Extreme base station hooked to the cable modem across the house which works great. We use an Airport Express hooked to the living room stereo preamp. and the music can be streamed from both computers perfectly.
I can't see why you would have a problem.
The only time there is a problem is when the microwave oven is used (Normal).

Adding 802.11b/g AX(s) to multi-Airport Extreme 802.11n roaming network

First, a thanks to folks like Tesserax and Bob for the great ideas on this forum -- the questions & answers I've read have helped me to date, though I still have a question!
My home wireless network today consists of:
One fifth-generation AEBS running in 802.11n only (5 GHz) / 802.11n only (2.4 GHz) mode, on channels 149 (automatic)/11 (automatic) -- provides DHCP services
One second-generation AEBS running in 802.11n only (5 GHz) mode, on channel 157 (automatic) -- bridge mode
There is a wired home network with Cat5e and a gigabit switch in the basement. 30 down/5 up DOCSIS 3.0 service through Time Warner Cable, upstream from the fifth-gen AEBS. The AEBS units are connected in roaming mode via Ethernet.
Using the Airport Utility on my iOS devices, I'm getting "excellent" (59-65 Mb/s) connectivity when I am near either of the AEBS units. It is a large brick house built in the 1920s, and while there are now no dead zones in the house, there are areas where I drop down to 10-15 Mb/s per the Airport Utility. Unfortunately, the two AEBSs are at opposite ends of the house near external walls, one on first floor and one on second -- and the first floor rear AEBS needs to be where it is to serve a breakfast room and sunroom, while the home office AEBS needs to be where I have two Ethernet drops as the cable modem and switch are in the basement.
Before I added the fifth-gen AEBS, I had the older AEBS and two 802.11b/g Airport Express (AX) devices, also in roaming mode. I wasn't thrilled with performance, and while performance is much better with the two AEBS model, I'm wondering about the benefits of redeploying my AX devices elsewhere in the house on the roaming network -- on the theory that I should be getting better 802.11g performance from a device close enough to get max speeds than I am from a farther-away 802.11n AEBS.
However, I am concerned about whether adding back in 802.11b/g devices on 2.4 GHz would restrict the performance of my 802.11n network? I am assuming that might happen because I have 802.11n running on both frequencies... if I stepped back on the fifth-gen AEBS to 802.11n only (5 GHz) / 802.11b/g [or a similar setting] on that device, will that help? Or, am I running the risk of other cross-talk or interference -- or simply of my home network devices being befuddled by multiple access points in a single house?
Alternatively, I could try to replace my 802.11b/g AX units with 802.11n ones -- howeever, having just bought a new AEBS this week, that would encounter cross-talk with my Spousal Budgetary Compliance Unit (SBCU) and I could end up crashing the entire household....
Thoughts and ideas appreciated!

If you use the "b/g" AirPort Express devices in a roaming setup, any computers, iPads, etc in close proximity will connect at maximum "g" wireless speeds.
It's really not possible to predict the actual results in advance. The increased wireless coverage might tend to compensate for the lower speeds that would naturally occur due to signal drop off if you did not use the AirPort Express devices at all.
As long as the wireless access points are in a separate room, or separated by 25-30 feet or so from other access points, there should be no confusion that occurs with your laptop trying to connect. It will pick the strongest signal as it moves through the house.
I think the bottom line here is that this is one of those things where you just will not know unless you try. If the Ethernet cabling is already in place, it should not take long for you to find out how things are working.

Airport card 802.11b sees other networks but NOT my network!

Hi. Having a very strange tech issue today...
I have a 1ghz ti-book that no longer wants to connect or even SEE my home network after waking up from sleep. Up until today there has never been an issue. My home network is distributed via a Netgear 802.11b and g wireless router. Again, I have never ever had any issue whatsoever connecting to my network. WEP is enabled. There are also 6 other computers all connecting to the same network via wireless too. No problems.
The crazy thing is I know the card is still functioning properly because I can still see all the other available networks around in my area. Even when I place the ti-book RIGHT NEXT to the antenna on the netgear router, it refuses to acknowledge that it is there. Meanwhile, it is showing all of my neighbors networks just fine!
The only variable in this equation is that the hinge of the display is damaged, such that it won't stay open "by itself". The display normally has to be propped up against something. The machine works fine otherwise, no issues. The weak bezel breaking is an issue that many ti-book owners faced and it has been broken for a LONG time with no performance issues at all. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the wire to the antenna for the Airport card goes up the side of the display and somehow the wire is damaged or frayed. I don't know if this is how the ti-book was designed....does anyone know? Specifically, if the wire for the airport card runs along inside the case of the display on the 15 inch 1ghz ti-book?
If it does not...and it seems like it is not hardware damage to the cable because how else could I still be getting other networks but not my own...then I am stumped as to how to trick my machine into recognizing the network again. I have done the basic things such as booting into single user mode and rebuilding my index, logging in as root and other users to see if the preferences were corrupt, and even installing a bunch of wifi wardriving apps to force recognition of my network and still nothing!
Again the machine is right next to the access point, so what is causing it to no longer "see" it? I also updated the firmware in the router and checked configurations but no changes have been made and all the other machines work fine. Also it has NEVER done this before so I don't know how to troubleshoot it!
*What would cause an airport card to reject the signal that it is configured to connect to? How should I go about getting it to see the network again...without reconfiguring the network which would mean having to update all the other machines, etc.* I have macstumbler and istumble running and they see PLENTY of networks except for the closest one. It is so bizarre. It was working when I went to bed and now today, no network. I have rebooted numerous times, etc.
please help!! i need some ideas!!!
thanks!

a somewhat in depth search across the interwebs has lead me to the conclusion that this problem is also affecting Leopard users as well. (I am on old hardware and running the latest Tiger) To be honest, I can not remember if there was an Apple update right before this problem started to happen. However, it seems real enough and many users out there are having problems re-connecting to their home/work networks after waking from sleep.
just to clarify:
Using a ti-book with normal airport card installed (b not g)
Connected to a Netgear wireless router (configured to manage both b and g traffic)
WEP 64bit encryption key is being used for network
No problems whatsoever until a few days ago
what works:
unplugging the power to the Netgear router (cycling power)
what doesn't work:
waking from sleep
restarting
manually entering network name and password
using 3rd party apps to find network
resetting/deleting Network location preferences and creating new one
deleting AppleAirPort2.kext from /System/Library/Extensions/
using either Diagnostic or Assistant mode to reconnect from scratch
it should NOT be this difficult to solve a networking issue. what is going on here?

X61 WWAN can I replace preinstalled card from Verison to GSM type.

Hi,
I have a new x61 I have purchased in the USA, with a preinstalled wwan card for Verison services in the USA, however, my mobile services provider is Orange, 3G GSM system.
My x61 model # is 7675-59U and is equipped with an auxiliary antena attached to the right side of the screen (telescopic one).
OS Windows XP PRO, 4GB Ram (only 3 usable).
My question is: can I change/replace the existing preinstalled Verison card (by Sierra) with another card which will work with GSM providers, I have found available, unlocked, Sierra GSM wwan cards #MC8775 on Ebay, these are the cards listed at the Lenovo System Service Parts list.
Will the Bios support it?
Will the existing aux. antena support it?
If yes, what else (beside a contract with the providers) would I need to be able to configure it and activate the services.
Thank you!
Avi.

I have not done this myself but based on the specs and other posts you can do this.
If you buy a non-Lenovo aftermarket MC8775 you will need a hacked BIOS to stop the startup warning error (search for Zender).
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Can anyone suggest an 802.11g card for my PowerBook G4

Just bought an Airport Extreme card only to find it's not compatible with my PowerBook G4, 867mhz which is the old Airport Card compatible which is older 802.11b technology selling for around $150 bucks on ebay. I'd love to find something that plugs in like exactly like the Airport card and use the antenna, but understand if a Wi-Fi PC card is my only option. I've seen the cards that plug in the USB slot, but only want to go that route if it's my only solution. Thanks and hope someone may have a suggestion.

Here are two suggestions - both are PC Card wireless adapters fully supported for use with Macs:
http://www.macwireless.com/html/products/11g11bcards/11gPCCard.html
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/aria_extreme.html
Either will provide a far superior method of connecting to a wireless network compared to use of a USB wireless adapter.
