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.

  • Satellite A505-S69803 - How to replace the Wlan card?

    Before I go into the details of my problem.
    I have rolled out a DSL product, set up hundreds of wireless routers. I was a notebook service tech for 3 years for laptops as well.
    I picked up a toshiba cause the price is right, and so far I am learning you get what you pay for.
    This machine has a realtek wireless card.
    As everyone knows.. Realtek == cheaply made bad hardware.
    Toshiba refuses to replace this card.
    I need to buy a new card for this laptop.
    I need to know if this is a mini-pci, half height mini-pci, a pci-e, or mini-pci-e card.
    I plan on getting an intel for it.
    I also need the whitepapers so I can remove the wrist pad / bezel on this unit. They have users guides, but unlike other notebook manufacturers, do not have their service manuals available.
    Any assistance to get this laptop fixed would be appreciated. It is leaving town with my parents soon.

    hi vlad2,
    realtek is also known to run perfekt under linux - this indicates that the hardware isnt so bad as you think...
    toshiba sells the unit as specified - if you wanna have some other hardware choose another notebook modell or replace the wlan by yourself...
    if unsure what card is in it , open the door under which the card is located - for an notebook tech pro like you no big thing - and check it.
    replacing this piece should be easy...
    to answer your complaint: +"Toshiba refuses to replace this card."+
    sure this! if it works there is no need to replace and you will get allways the same as spare because this modell comes with it...
    i dont like it to repeat me but a notebook technician should be able to disassemble this machine (you will ruin your warranty with this action)
    disassembling the covers is a service partner thing - not for customers...
    by the way: +"I am learning you get what you pay for"+ means what you see is what you get, spending some extra money is not bad at all...
    you cant get a mercedes for the price of a little car...
    and whats your technical problem with the wlan?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    Hi
    Why do you ask for Toshiba? Here its only an user to user platform and I didnt see anybody from Toshiba here as yet.
    Anyway, theoretically it would be possible to change WLAN card but Im wondering why you want to do this. I mean the notebook supports already draft N and this is the fastest mode at the moment.

  • 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.
    Chase

    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 not use Atheros WLAN card on my Satellite A100-784

    I install the Atheros WiFi driver from the Toshiba drivers folder and I get a message saying "The device is not present or could have been ejected/unplugged from the system-Insert or reinsert now".
    The WiFi switch is switched on while it was being installed but t still does not work.
    Can someone help please...

    Hi,
    so you installed a mini-pci atheros card into your A100? Usually there shouldnt be any problems with that card. I have a couple of machines here at home, and my tecra 9100 which was
    primarly equipped with an intel card, works flawlessly with that atheros AR5005G card.
    Maybe you should re-seat the card and try it again. And try (if available) the old card, to make sure that the slot is working properly.

  • Can you replace the top part of your macbook pro?

    My macbook pro has some scratches and a small dent on the top and was wondering if you are able to replace this? If not, what are other options?

    Yes, the display assembly can be replaced for anywhere from a few hundred to more than a thousand dollars, depending on model. Under no circumstances is this a sensible, worthwhile investment if the only reason for doing it is minor cosmetic damage.

  • Cannot connect to wireless internet - WLAN card not installed - Satellite Pro M10

    Hi, i have just been given a second hand toshiba satellite pro M10 and i have just rebuilt it and put windows xp home edition on it. What i would like to be able to do is to connect to my families wireless network so that i can get rid of all the cables on the floor. My laptop seems to think that there is no wireless card installed though. Now i had the same problem with the cable lan, but i went onto tosibas website and downloaded a patch and updated the driver in device manager. I am not able to do this with the wireless as there are no drivers to download for it and there is apparently no device for it in device manager. Could somebody please help me and tell me what to do and how i can download a patch or fix the problem. Thanks, Andrew Reid

  • 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).
    Thanks and regards,

  • Can I replace the hard drive in my Satellite A100?

    I have a Satellite A100-033 PSAANE, running Windows Vista Home Basic. The hard drive is 60G. I save virtually all my data onto an external hard drive, but even so the hard drive will eventually not have enough space for the growing number of programs which I have installed, the various temporary files, etc. For example, I would like to install VirtualBox and run XP ( Ido have a copy), plus Linux, and maybe some other operating systems, within it, but that is likely to eat up more hard disc space than I have available.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to take out my existing hard drive and replace it with another one of a higher capacity? Is this possible?
    I would have to reinstall Vista on the new drive, from the rescue disc which came with the PC. I don't mind doing this, but will Windows Vista be "recognised" when I try to install it on the new hard drive?
    Sorry if these questions sound naive, but I don't know how to put a new hard drive into a laptop, or even if this is possible. I bought the Toshiba in February 2007, which was just after Vista had been released. I wasn't given the option of XP: Vista was the only operating system Toshiba provided at that point. I was assured that a 60G hard drive would be fine for Vista, but I do have to say that I feel I was wrongly advised, and that Toshiba should never have released a 60G machine for use with Vista. Hence my wish to have a hard drive with a bigger capacity.

    Yes you can install a higher capacity HDD. I believe the A100 can take any size of SATA 2.5" HDD, so you should be able to install a 250GB or 320GB successfully.
    As for Windows, you can reinstall it using the Toshiba Recovery Disc that came with the laptop.
    Instructions:
    Remove the screw(s) from the HDD cover on the base of the laptop to access the HDD.
    Slide out the HDD
    Transfer the HDD cradle/mounts to the new HDD
    Slide in the new HDD and screw on the HDD cover.
    Turn on the laptop and press F12 to access the boot menu.
    Insert your Recovery Disc and choose the CD icon to boot from it.
    Follow the prompts to install Windows.
    Connect your original HDD to the A100 using a USB adapter to restore your files/documents.
    ps. Remember to backup your important files regularly. HDD's can fail at any time since they have delicate moving parts, even when new.
