HP Mini 1151NR Verizon Wireless Card acting funny

I have a HP Mini 1151NR purchased from verizon.
I have had it for 4 months with no problems, except it recently started to have an issue with the wireless broadband card.
It enables and disables the card constantly, (the sound that plays when you stick a usb drive into the usb slot). I can even open hardware manager and watch it enable and disable.
On the Verizon Wireless software area, it shows the card powering off and on. Each time it does this, I receive a Text Message from myself that is blank, it also says the date and time of the message is 00/00/0000 00:00:00.  I called verizon and they said the line has no text messages sent or received.
Anybody have any hints on where to go, HP tells me its verizons problem, verizon tells me its HP's problem. I get the run-around wherever I go.
I have reinstalled the VZ Access software twice and the driver twice, still does the same thing.  

I have the same problem.   I have had my HP Mini for over a year now and the VZ Access software worked for a few months then it started the same enable the disable problem.    I have called Verizon with no help then HP with no help so I set up a stand alone network login and that works fine with the verizon network (777) number.    Today the VZaccess still does not work and it is quite frustrating.   I have the VZ access on my other laptop and it works fine.   WE CAN SEND MEN TO THE MOON AND TRANSPLANT HEARTS BUT WE CAN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH VZ ACCESS.    COME ON PEOPLE.

    If you mean AppleCare, then I would believe the answer will be yes.
    First make sure you have a full backup of everything on your Mac, then run, don't walk to your nearest Apple store.
    Note: Due to your Mac now being in computer years, somewhat elderly, Apple may not have the require parts in stock. This will either mean you might have to leave it with them for a number of days, or maybe they will offer you a new Mac mini. While a new Mac mini (if offered) might be a welcome possibility be aware that the new Mac mini no longer has a CD/DVD drive and it comes with Mac OS X Lion and as a result might not run some of your old software.

  • Trying to Connect iBook to Internet Via Windows PC Verizon Wireless Card

    I have a Windows PC laptop (IBM Thinkpad) that has a built-in Verizon wireless broadband card, which allows me to connect to the Internet from any location. I'm trying to find a way to share this connection with a Mac iBook. I can hook the two computers to each other with an ethernet cable, but then I can't figure out what to do to allow the iBook to access the PC's internet connection?
    BTW - the PC is running XP, the iBook OS 10.4 (and Airport, although this doesn't seem like an Airport-related issue).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Do I need an Air Port Base station or a router? After I set up everything on my mac mini, what steps do I need to follow on the iBook to get Internet access?
    The AirPort base station is a router. You are not limited to AirPort base stations as non-Apple 802.11g routers (like those from Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys) will work just as well. Using a router, your network configuration would be something like the following:
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] router > (wireless) > wireless computers.
    The set up for both computers, to access the router, would basically be the same.
    To setup AirPort for High-Speed Cable Internet connectivity:
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
    - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
    - Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
    Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
    AirPort tab
    - By default, join: Automatic
    TCP/IP tab
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Proxies tab
    - Configure Proxies: Manually
    - Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
    - Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
    - Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
    - Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

  • Using Airport Extreme Base Station As A Wireless Card?

    Hi,
    I don't know if this is even possible but here's what I'd like to do:
    I've started to share an internet connection with a cousin of mine that lives in my apartment building. The connection is in her apartment and as far as I can tell the wireless signal is coming from the modem she has, there is no stand alone router/ base station. So far I've just been connecting using my iBook with the aiport card in it. No problems. I just had to get the ip number and password from her and I was hooked right up.
    Here's my real question:
    I also have a G4 Mini with no wireless card in it at all and an Airport Extreme base station from before we started sharing a connection. In the time that we've been sharing I haven't connected to the internet at all using the Mini. Now I'm wondering if there is a way I can hook the Airport Extreme to the Mini and somehow use it as a replacement for a wireless card in the Mini. Thus using the Mini connected to the Airport to connect just the Mini to the internet.
    I'm not worried about the iBook and do not wish to reconfigure the way I'm using/ connecting with it. Everything is peachy with that.
    If this is possible, how can I do it?
    Thank you in advance for any help with this.

    Set up the AEBSn as a "bridge" and connect the G4 Mini to one of the "wired" internet connections.

  • Using a Verizon pcmcia card with my iMac desktop

    I purchased an iMac desktop computer last week.
    Unfortunately, the only way to access the internet in the rural area where I live is via a Verizon wireless card.
    Is there a way to use a pcmcia card with my iMac desktop? I know that there is a USB to pcmcia card adapter for PC's, but I have not seen one for the iMac.
    Or can this card somehow be creatively hooked up to a wireless network device so I can use the built in airport device to connect to it?
    Please help!!
    iMac Desktop   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Verizon has an adapter that will work - U720 I believe is the model. However, any similar adapter should work. Also, most cell phones can be used as modems with the proper cable. You can purchase cables for your cell phone model from your cell provider's local outlets.

  • How do I use a Verizon PC Wireless card with my iMAC Intel Core desktop?

    Help! Bought a Kyocera KPC650 Wireless PC Card for Verizon wireless internet. Works fine w/ laptop because it has a slot. How do I configure my iMAC desktop to accept this card? Is there an external USB adapter? Or do I have to get one installed internally? Which adapter works with OX 10.4?
    I've seen the Quatech U132 online. Will that work? Its $192!! As is the Sewell adapter too. ($209)
    Any ideas? I want to get off SBCYahoo DSL and their router because our DSL line is damaged in our complex and no one is fixing it!

    What protocol is Verizon using that is not compatible with the Airport Extreme built into your iMac? I have used Apple's Airport Extreme with a lot of different wireless routers with zero problems as all conform to either 802.11b or 802.11g standard both of which are supported by the built in Airport Extreme.

  • Startup gets 'Network cable unplugged' on mini-PCI wireless card

    I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have an intermittent problem connecting my Tecra 9100 to it. If the 9100 has been shutdown for a while (like overnight), when I restart I always get 'Network cable unplugged' for the wireless connection. Rebooting a number of times (anything from 3 upwards) I eventually get connected to the router and all then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (i.e. once the wireless card has connected) does not cause a problem but as soon as I leave the machine shutdown for a length of time it fails again at reboot.
    There are no errors in the Event log.
    I am using the built in mini-PCI wireless card and have already upgraded to the latest driver.
    Any ideas gratefully recieved, at the moment each morning is a 20-30 minute frustration of rebooting trying to get my connection working.
    (Running Win2K Professional)

    Checking other boards for help (Netgear etc.) it seems that the 'Network cable unplugged' is a common message when wireless connectivity is failing. However, to prove the point, I have disabled the other LAN card (for which I was also getting 'network cable unplugged' but as expected since it was). I still get the same issue with the wireless card, although now the reboots are slightly more predictable - it normally seems to succeed on the third reboot. I guess disabling the other card has changed the startup timing slightly and in that way made things slightly better.
    Again, any other suggestions gratefully received. As this seems to be a timing issue at startup, I am suspicious that one of the other things that runs at that time is causing the problem.

    More info : I have found that this is time related rather than related to the number of reboots. It always fails on the first reboot after being shut down for a period of time. At this point, however long I wait the connection never comes up. However, if I wait a few minutes and then reboot, the second reboot will always successfully establish the connection.
    On this basis, the problem has become slightly less annoying as I have a workaround - boot once, wait a few minutes and reboot. That being said, any information on how I can isolate this further (e.g. tracing what is running at startup) would be gratefully recieved.

  • N wireless card for Mac Mini 1.66ghz

  • 1802 Error Message on installation of Broadcom Mini-PCI Wireless Card

    I am getting an 1802 error message on boot when I install the Broadcom Mini-PCI wireless card. I know it has something to do with some code IBM put into the BIOS or CMOS to check the cards for manufacturer or something like that. Is there anyway around this message or do I have to try and find an IBM mini-PCI wireless card for this machine?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    All depends on how one defines success...
    To put it this way: A3x machines are very unpredictable and moody when it comes to these issues, and you're talking to someone who has owned over a hundred A31p ThinkPads, not counting A30/p and A31 units along the way. More than once I've faced a scenario where the card that worked "out of the box" in one machine required a hack in the next one...
    But to answer your question:
    Can it be done? Absolutely.
    Do I recommend it? Absolutely not.
    IBM-issued (with a proper FRU number) Intel 2200BG should work in your machine with no hack. Some people have reported this experience even with generic card of the same type.
    Hope this helps.

  • How To Install mini-pci wireless card in 1955-S805 ?

    I'm trying to install a new mini-pci wireless card in my Satellite 1955-S805. I was able to pry off the black shiny strip above the keyboard, and unscrew the two screws holding down the keyboard. But under the keyboard is a silver metal plate. There doesn't appear to be a way to get past that. Everything I've read seems to say that the mini-pci card goes under the keyboard.
    Does anyone know how to install a mini-pci card in these 1955-S805 notebooks? Or does anyone have a tech manual on this model?
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Hi Pat
    I am not sure but you have an US model. I have 1900-703 notebook. It is a European model and I had no problem to install mini-pci wireless card.
    Your unit has also wireless keyboard. Am I right?
    If you want to built in wireless card you must remove the keyboard from notebook using keyboard releases on the left and right side of your unit. After that you can see small cover on the place of keyboard and this cover is fixed with one screw. Under this small cover there is wireless card slot.

  • WRT54GX4 acting as a wireless card?

    I currently have a wireless Netgear connected to my cable modem.  I was wondering if it was possible to setup my WRT54GX4 to act as a wireless card for my PC and connect to the Netgear's wireless?  In other words I want to plug the NIC of my PC into the Linksys and have it connect to the Netgear wirelessly.
    I have tried to set it up several times.  I need to disable NAT and put in the route info to the wireless Netgear correct?  Are there any papers the show you how to configure this?
    Thanks.

    I doubt that you can do this with a WRT54GX4.  Most Linksys routers cannot be turned into a wireless bridge, at least not with Linksys firmware.  Perhaps there is 3rd party firmware that would do this.
    What you need is a wireless bridge, such as the WET54G.   Just wire the WET to your computer's ethernet port.   In theory, the WET should be able to connect to any wireless g router, so probably your Netgear should work with it.  Certainly the WET54G would connect if you made your main router the WRT54GX4.
    Alternatively, if the computer is the only device you want to connect wirelessly, you could get a wireless g adapter for it.
    If you used your WRT54GX4 as your main router, and put a matching (i.e. SRX400) wireless adapter in your computer, you should be able to boost your wireless speed and range.
    Another idea is to use your WRT54GX4 as your primary router, then convert your Netgear to a wireless bridge - but I do not know if this is possible.

  • A20p, got a mini-pci wireless card working on it

    I had thought this impossible. Everywhere i'd looked i couldn't find one person who'd got this working.
    Today i've just done it. I had an SMC wireless router which had failed, it kept powering itself off all of the time so i'd bought a new router. Before i chucked the old router out i took it apart to have a look to see if i could find what had failed. To my surprise it had a mini-pci wireless card mounted in a slot on the mainboard (to give it wireless functionality i guess). I got the wireless card out and left the antenna leads still connected to the antennas on the back panel of the router.
    Then i removed the mini-ethernet/56K modem card (IBM FRU-08K3125) from the A20p mini-pci slot and put the mini-pci wireless card in it's place. For the time being i left the antenna wires hanging out of the bottom with the router back panel and antenna still attached.
    I hadn't got a clue who the manufacturer of the wireless card was but what i did have was the chipset number "TNETW1130GVF" which i obviously got off the chip on the mini-pci card. After a quick search i found some drivers that should be compatible with the chipset:-
    http://www.safecom.cn/code/support/DMF.aspx?pid=316#
    I've also tried these (actually the same thing):-
    http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/other/2007-6-26/TI-TNETW1130GVF-Chipset-Driver.htm
    I loaded them up and it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both driver downloads work!!!!
    Now i've just got to find some internal antenna and wire them into the case!
    Edit: i forgot to mention that the card is being recognised as a Texas instruments 802.11g MiniPCI card in Windows Device Manager (which is no surprise as it's a Texas Instruments Chipset). Also i'm on WinXP Pro SP3.

  • Good morning. I've read in some blogs and forums that the verizon wireless works in Europe but my question is if it works with portugueses cards (like vodafone sim)?

    Good morning (at least here in Portugal)
    My question is that I want to buy the new Iphone 5C, but I want to use it here in Portugal. I was in the store menu looking for it and it appears that I have to stay with a network for two years, if not the price will increase significantly. I want to buy it online because the Iphone will only arrive in Portugal in December and probably it will be more expensive. I've read in some blogs and forums that the verizon wireless works in Europe but my question is if it works with portugueses cards (like vodafone sim)?
    Thank you very much for the attention.
    Daniela João.

    The Verizon iPhone 5 is sold as unlocked. You can buy it full retail and use it anywhere you want. However, you won't get LTE in Europe and you won't be eligible for warranty service unless you take the phone back to the U.S. You won't be able to buy one on a contract unless you can pass a U.S. credit check. The minimum monthly cost would be $59.99 plus tax. I assume that all of this information will be true of of the 5C as well.
    Wait and buy the phone in Portuagal.

  • Verizon Wireless installer for a wireless card not working. Help?

    I have this wireless card from Verizon Wireless that lets me use internet anywhere i want. Its called the USB727 manufactured by Novatel Wireless. Bundled with this toy came a disc with the installer. When i tried to pop it into my iBook running OS X 10.4.11 it wouldn't begin the auto run. When I clicked the disc on my desktop i was given a .dmg file instead of the normal Verizon logo. When i opened it i was given two options the user manual and the actual installer. The installer logo was a piece of paper instead of the normal open-cardboard box. When i clicked it I'm given a window with the title folder actions setup, the setup doesn't show up.

    Hi Eddie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Not sure why it looks like that, I'd try this...
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then reboot & try to install.
    Found this...
    The main thing is, you need to install the VZaccessmonitor to get the right drivers, but after that you can connect through Internet Connect, as if it twere a regular modem. If you open internet connect, or the system prefs while configuring and setting up initially with the VZaccessmonitor, it will cause the repeating dialogues. I had to uninstall, make sure not to open system prefs while the VZ install ran, and then reboot--and the install had produced a new location for me.
