Can I Replace the WiFi Card in my dv6-2106ea

I want to be able to replace the internal Broadcomm 43225 WLAN NIC in my dv6-2106ea laptop with an Intel Advanced-N 6230 (to add 5GHz support). Will this work, or will the locked-down InsydeH20 BIOS complain?

Hi,
I have a laptop from the same series (see the signature) and have modded BIOS on it. That laptop definitely support Intel 5100 wireless chip (the part number is in the maintenance guide and I can provided if needed). I can also send that BIOS so you may flash it and use any wifi you want..

    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.

  • Can you upgrade the wifi card and if you can how much will it cost

    thanks

    Why do people think they are postiing in a notebook forum when if you look around, this is clearly something else.
    If you really want a new Mac you have to buy one. That is part of the fun of owning laptops, they are not upgradeable.

  • 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.

  • Can I replace the wireless card in my Macbook Pro?

    Can I replace the airport extreme card (Wireless G) to the new N card that come in the new MBP?

    Yes. It has been done. I have heard that the wireless n card for the mac pro will fit the macbook pro. I haven't done it yet though...I'm undecided about whether to update my laptop so i'm going to wait a while before i void my warranty.
    An apple dealer have offered to perform the installation but can't guarantee it will work, and say it will void my warranty but that's up in a month anyway... I'll let you know if i do it.

  • Can I replace stock wifi card with an Intel 6235 Wifi/Bluetooth PCI-e card in my N580?

    I have a PCI-e WiFi/BT combo card that worked in my HP laptop, but when I put it in the N580, It would not boot and said the wifi card was not authorized and I would have to remove it and replace with an authorized card. There are SO many different card available, I just want to find the correct one that will fit in the BIOS Whitelist. 
    I'm looking for a Dual Band wifi with Bluetooth 4.0 preferred. Something like this. Would this one on eBay work or is there another card I would need.
    Thanks!

    Hello and welcome,
    Whatever card you use, it MUST have a Lenovo FRU number.  Cards that will pass the BIOS whitelist have been modified to provide a specific subsystem ID to BIOS.  Reputable sellers will list the Lenovo FRU if their card is compatible.
    For example, a generic Intel 6150NX will not pass the whitelist, but a 6150NX with a 20002543 FRU number will pass.

  • Is it possible to replace the wifi card with another one?

    Hi
    I have a t400 with intel 5100 wifi card and now I want to install mac os on my laptop.
    problem is that mac os does not detect the 5100 series of wifi card and I want to know whether it is possible to replace the current 5100 model with a older series?
    Is there any certified service center in Uppsala/ Sweden to do that?
    Thanks,

    Lenovo restricts the wireless cards to Lenovo branded units certified to work with the machine. This is done through a whitelist in the system BIOS. I recently disassembled the latest (version 3.14-1.06) T500/W500 BIOS and found the following whitelist table. This is raw big endian hex appended with what I found by searching the device ID's. Redundant entries are for varying vendor IDs.

    Your T400 is from the same lineup and probably has the same list. Remember, you'll need to purchase a Lenovo branded unit.

    well....it doesn't matter whether the MAC add is 00-14-BF-93-D2-66 or 00:14:BF:932:65 or any other format .. the most important thing is the hex decimal numbers are the same ... so not worry about it...

  • Can I replace the graphics card on Tecra M2?

    I have a Tecra M2 and the screen shows verticle lines across the entire screen. These lines also show up when plugged up to a regular screen.
    I checked the device manager and it says the nvidia card "cannot start." Troubleshoot had me uninstall and reinstall, no luck.
    Next option is to unplug and then plug back in, but is this possible? If it is separate I'd rather just replace the card. Thanks for any help.

    According to your error description it sounds really like a GPU (graphic processing unit) malfunction.
    Unfortunately, this is a serious fault and without a hardware replacement you will be not able to solve this problem :(
    This is a worth case because you cannot replace only the graphic card. You have to replace the whole motherboard because the GPU is soldered on the board and cannot be removed easily.
    There is nothing to do buddy.
    Seems you have to contact a technician for assistance.
    Good luck

  • Can I replace the ethernet card on my Feb 2005 eMac?

    I realize that my Feb 2005 eMac (CRT-17") workhorse drops the internet (cable ethernet) very often- can run fine for 2 hours then drops the connection 3 times in 15 minutes.  IS IT POSSIBLE to repair this or get a new "ethernet" card without spending a small fortune (i.e. for less than $200 and hopefully a lot less…)??
    OR:  Add WiFi to this Mac, but that is not my first choice as it is the furthest away from my WiFi points (plus I have ethernet cable running directly to this eMac and it works great for other Macs when tested.  Just this eMac that is dropping the connection).

  • Replacement of wifi card

    I have a hp pavilion dv7 home premium, win 7premium, intel core i7 processor. Would like to replace the wifi card; currently intel 1000, to intel 6250. The bios does not recognize the 6250. My bios ver is F.1c insyde. Is there an update that will allow me to use the 6250 wifi card?
    Thanks for any help

    We need the full model number but likely not. If the laptop is more than about a year old there is a BIOS whitelist that will prevent unapproved wifi cards from being used. Need the exact model number to know what is listed for it. 

  • Why can't we replace the WLAN card on Satellite L670?

    Hi,
    I'm using a Sattelite L670-143 PSK3EE which comes with a default Atheros AR9285 wireless network adapter.
    I've tried replacing this one with the 5Ghz Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230, which has a 2pin connection too.
    Unfortunatelly, the card is being properly recognised by Windows7 but for some reason it has no signal.
    Running inSSIDer, there is no single surrounding device found, while even my own router is advertising at the 5GHz band, and the taskbar icon tells me the Intel is the Wifi network but it always states that Wifi is switched off.
    Trying to turn on/off thhe wireless network by using the special FN+F8 key combination, I am unable to switch it on.
    Please has anyone succesfully installed a third party network adapter in a Sattelite ? Is Toshiba blocking any but the default wireless adapters ? and/or how can we make them to operate next to only being properly detected by Windows but unable to switch the signal on ?
    Thank you for any help.

    ok, i hope you know how yo get to your wifi card inside your laptop, i try to explain as best as possible to show which pin in your new wifi card has to be taped off, so it cannot get signal (Hardware Radio Off) from the bios.
    Pin layout can be different for other wifi cards, so i can only show the pin the tape off for this specific card.
    My laptop = Satellite L670-140 (in this model the wifi card is underneath the keyboard, follow steps 5,6,7 from this site to unscrew it.
    Wifi Card used = Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 (2pin antenna like the default Atheros one)
    * Before replacing, make sure laptop is properly shut off, disconnected from mains, and battery removed.
    * Also make sure you have your proper driver for your card downloaded beforehand, since you most probably will need it before being able to connect to the internet.
    * Also, write down the new card's MAC address. (most probably you'll find it on a little sticker on the wifi card)
    Here are 2 screenshots showing which pin to tape off for disallowing the BIOS from Hardware Blocking the radio signal.
    Front & Back of the wifi card : http://i.imgur.com/96D5q.jpg
    Screenshot show which pin to tape off : http://imgur.com/TZiQv
    So, as you position your wifi as seen on the last screenshot, it's the 2nd pin from the right, on the largest pin row.
    make sure only this specific pin is taped off, and no others, and make sure the tape strip does not come loose once you put the new wifi inside its slot.
    - After replacing, it's only a matter of starting up, letting the new card get properly recognized by windows.
    - I installed the wifi driver from Intel just in case, don't know if it's actually needed, most probably Windows will install all you need by default once the card is being detected.
    - After that, i had to power down the laptop, switch off the router for 1 minute, switch back on router & switch on laptop. (doing the correct software steps to set up an internet connection with the card may be needed.)
    If your router is configured to only allow specific MAC addresses from connecting, then simply configure your router to allow this card's mac address.
    BTW: If your laptop has a "software way" of switching ON/OFF the radio signal ( FN+F8 keycombination in my case), you can still switch ON/OFF the card as you which, as long as the card does not get "Hardware Blocked" which should be corrected if you properly taped of the pin shown.
    I'm sorry if i'm not sounding that clear, i'll try helping as best as i know/can.

    Why would you need a wi-fi card?
    It sounds like you are  talking about a SIM card, which has nothing at all to do with wi-fi.  It is for cellular service from a wireless phone provider.  If this is what you mean, then no.  Ipods are not cell phones and cannot access cellular data.

    You cannot. The iPhone is locked to Softbank, and only they can unlock it. Problem is that Softbank will NOT unlock the phone, as they do not offer iPhone unlocking.
    Buy an iPhone in the Phillipines.
    PS Before you go on a rant at Apple, be aware that Apple does NOT unlock phones and they do not set unlocking policies. The carriers (Softbank in this case) set the unlocking policy.
