Installing new wireless card.

I have an HP dv7 notebook
Windows 7 64 bit
8GB RAM, Intel Core i5
Bios: HP F.29 11/7/11
My wifi card died (Intel Centrino N-1000). I bought a new one (Intel Centrino N-6300), but I found out that it is whitelisted in my BIos!!!
How do I fix this problem?
I don't care about voiding a warranty... I don't have one!

Hi,
Could you tell us what dv7 it is, please? I mean which model like dv7-6543xy.
Dv6-7000 /Full HD/Core i5-3360M/GF 650M/Corsair 8GB/Intel 7260AC/Samsung Pro 256GB

  • Installing new wireless card x120e

    I know about the silly whitelist'ing of devices, and I've read about hacking the bios, but is there a universally acceptable way to just turn off the whole whitelist'ing completely?
    I have a full height Intell 5300 card I want to use, then put a new Broadcomm Crystal HD half height card in the original wireless card positition.
    The Intel card doesn't work at all (whitelisted I assume) and I'm not sure if the Broadcomm card will suffer the same fate (arrives tomorrow).
    So is there a supported work around to this terrible vendor locking whitelist?

    From what I understand, no, there is no easy or sanctioned method of installing your choice of mini pci-e cards.  Part of it apparently has to do with EMI validation, and anything outside of what they've tested can't be validated.  What this means for your Broadcomm Crystal HD half height card I have no clue, but outside of looking for a tool to roll your own update to remove the whitelist (or just add your cards to it, I don't know), you'll have to risk a hacked update to get what you want.

  • Want to install a wireless card in a MDD

    hi
    i would like to install a wireless card into my powermac G4 MDD.
    i bought a an external usb wireless but i could not find a driver for it and had to return it.
    what kind of wireless card can i install that will be found by the system or where drivers are easy to get for macs?
    also, where does it install, in an available pci(???) slot or somewhere more internal?
    the mac is running 10.5.8, i think, im settiung it up for my kids to use
    thanks

    Hi! Probably depends on whether you are running an "n" network. The old airport card is slow and using a newer pci card that has "n" capability if your router is an "n" router is a lot faster. OWC is a good place to buy Mac stuff and their prices are good also. Though I haven't used one I'd probably try THIS card for its "n" capabilities. I'd probably get a new airport extreme base station but they are about 179 bucks from Apple. Tom

  • Problem with installing new line card 7600-SSC-400

    Hi all,
    I have a trouble when trying to install new line card 7600-SSC-400 on Cisco 6509. Here was the message displays on the screen after I finished installing the line card : "%C6KPWR-SP-4-UNSUPPORTED: unsupported module in slot 7, power not allowed: The image for the card is not bundled in image." I tried to install this line card on another slot, but it doesn't work. The attched item is logfile which I saved in the installing session. I don't know what I hvae to do now, please help me to resolve this problem !
    Thanks so much,
    Hieu

    Hi Hieu,
    You might want to run the following to see more detail of the error:
    show diagnostic result module all detail
    And I would also suggest that you reseat the 7600-SSC-400 line card firmly back to the switch, and check the status again.
    If it's still showing the error, maybe you can try seating the module on a different slot, and check if you have the same issue.
    If the issue still persist after reseating and testing it on different slot, then it might be a hardware issue, and you might want to open a TAC case to further investigate it.
    Hope that helps.

  • No Signal after installing new graphics card

    Hello and thanks in advance for your help!  
    We have a 2yr old HP p6540y.  It has an ATI integrated Video Card. When we recently turned it on, we got a 'no signal' message on the monitor and then it would go to sleep.  We have tried several things to fix...listed below, in order, and are still getting the same message.  Please advise!
    1) No Signal: DVI, VGA, HDMI.  So we unplugged and restarted, no change.
    2) Checked monitor and DVI & VGA cords with another computer: They all work.
    3) Installed new Graphics Card: NVIDIA GEForce GT 610.  Still got same 'no signal' message. 
    4) We plugged/unplugged all other cards/cords/anything we could and cleaned out.  Then, finally, the monitor turned on! But not for long....
    5) After restarting computer after installation of graphics card driver, we got the 'no signal' message again.  We once again, pulled out other cards/plugs and again the monitor/computer came to life.
    6) We unistalled the integrated ATI graphic card.  When we go to Display, Advanced Options, it lists our new NVIDIA as graphic/display card.
    7) We turned computer off overnight and this morning when we turned on, we once agin got the 'no signal' message.  We unplugged/plugged computer in several times.  Also tried the trick with pulling out cards/plugs and we got nothing.  No Signal.  After doing this several times (about 10), it finally worked again.  
    8) We changed sleep settings to: Screensaver=Never; Sleep Mode=Never.  
    9)  We restarted again to once again get no signal message.
    So...what do we need to do?
    Thanks so much!

    Triusa, welcome to the forum.
    I suspect that your problem is caused by the power supply unit (PSU).  Here is a guide to help you troubleshoot the problem:

    Also, the existing PSU is 250W.  The GT 610 requires a minimum of 300W.

  • 3000 j115 A11 stopped working after installing new graphics card

    I thought i would be slick and install a new graphics card (asus GEForce 8500GT) after i put it in my 3000 j115 A11 everything stopped working. I can turn the tower on and it gives two beeps. Nothing displays on the monitor (it doesn't leave powersaving mode). It is also very quiet like it is not even trying to work. Did I just destroy my computer? Is there anything I can do?
    PS. I did take the asus card back out, so I'm not that lucky
    PSS. Got back to being able to boot but now I can't get back into bios to switch from PCI back to original built in card. If I try it just hangs after pressing enter to interupt normal setup

    I find this thread very interesting. I am assuming this system (3000 j115 A11) is the same as one I mentioned in a post from June 12 (7387A11... Graphics upgradeable?).... and is still hanging out there. Perhaps if Lenovo, or anybody else for that matter, could/would provide SPECIFIC upgrade instructions we could all be enlightened. (In my case I do not own a Lenovo computer but I am hoping to help my sister-in-law with her Lenovo and don't look forward to a major meltdown if the systems are not capable of this, otherwise, simple upgrade.)
    Niether of the 2 previous posters mentioned if they upgraded the PS in thier respective systems prior to the graphics card installation (although ala17 "recently" did.). One had issues and the other didn't. If that should be the first step toward the upgrade, it would be helpful to know beforehand.
    Thanks and good luck. Post back if you get to the bottom of it.

  • How to install new graphics card

    Hi everyone. I have an intel mac pro and i want to install my pci express ati xtx 1900 card into it. It fits in the slot nice and snug but requires the 6 pin power cable to run the card. I have no idea where this is inside the mac and need help getting my new graphics card to work. i know this card works on a mac so how to i do this. please, please someone help. thank you

    If you click on the "manuals" from the small strip above, then click on Desktop -> Mac Pro ->
    http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/macpro/
    There is a pdf. You should also have a small booklet that came with the Pro, and I am surprised the card doesn't come from Apple with a guide and photos.

  • How to install new graphic card?

    I would like to try to upgrade my graphic card (currently have a GeForce 7300) to run newer games on my pc, but have never opened the back of a computer before.  I was hoping someone might be able to help.  Is it as easy as just removing the old card and installing the new one?
    I was thinking of replacing it with a Geforce 9500 or 9600.  My computer has an AMD 6400 dual processor 2.80 ghz with 2 GBs of RAM so the new graphics card should fit, right? 
    Much thanks for any thoughts and advice.

    Yep just remove and replace. Just make sure its the correct type (AGP, PCI-e, etc) thats already in there.
     The instructions with the card are pretty simple.
    1. unplug computer and remove all cords.
    2. lay computer on table.
    3. unscrew case screws and slide cover (side cover or whole cover depending on make) off.
    4. lay computer on side so you can see the mother board.
    5. touch metal chassis before touching any component.
    6. unscrew screw that holds the part of the vid card at the back slots.
    7. unplug any cable to the vid card.
    8. theres a latch that needs to be unlocked before removing card. unlock it (usually slides to the front of the computer, dont force anything)
    9. pull vid card straight out.
    install new card in reversed order. Make sure you install the new cards software/drivers according to instructions.

    Hello Malith Ratnayake,
    After changing the old RAM by the new one, this issue occurs?
    If the issue doesn’t occur when you change back to use old ram, I think it is the RAM hardware issue.
    Please contact the hardware manufacturer for better support.

  • MS-6714 trying to install new video card

    Well, I have done everything I can think of short of sledgehammering my computer into oblivion.  Just bought this comp it is a 2.8 celeron using the 6714.  Thought I could just stick a new video card in.  It recogzines the video card, but will not use it.  Even when I disable the on board through the device manager.  It just uses generic vga drivers.  Any clue how I can get this card to be used?

    Hi,
    Which 6714 are you using???
    Check link:

    2)which video card you trying to install and which version of drivers?
    3)what PSU do you have and model number?

  • INstalling new sound card on HP Pavilion a1029_uk

    Hi
    Due to the issues raised in my other thread
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Suddenly-no-sound/td-p/607655
    I've gone and bought separate sound card (not from HP admittedly) but can't get it to install as the install software keeps crashing.
    Could it be that I've not totally got rid of the on board motherboard sound chips (that no longer work) are somehow interfering in the process.
    I've tried to do the install both with the and without disabling the on board audio in the BIOS settings (turning this off does seem to remove everything including Sound Manager, volume control etc) but it makes no difference.
    Do I need to leave this one but remove sound manager and the device drivers manually and if so, how do I do this as Sound Manager isn't included in the "Add / Remove Software" list.
    So the question is: Is it possible to totally remove all systems access to the on board sound set, so I can use a PCI sound card instead.
    Technical stuff.

    Trying to install Sweex SC002 5.1 PCI Sound Card
    http://www.sweex.com/en/assortiment/sound-vision/sound-cards/SC002/

    Just to let everyone know I've solved this one.
    It seems part of the new sound cards that hooks around the back of the PC to hold it in place is slightly too short, and/or the wrong shape, so when you put on the plate on my HP Pavillion that holds all the PCI cards in place, this pulls the soundcard slightly out of it's slot, up at the opposite end with the smaller pins so although the computer can detect there's a PCI card there, it can't tell what it is.
    If I leave this plate off, and allow the hook around part to hang free, the card works.

  • Installing new graphics card in hp p7-1155

    I have a new EVGA GEFORCE GT730 2GB GDDR5 graphics card and am ready to install it in the above box.
    Haggiscat suggested this board thru a previous post on this site. I have printed out the install directions from the hp help so I have the mechanics of how to install this thing. Those directions say to disable the on-board graphics card first, then go into the box and install the new card. My question is: Do I need to do anything else first such as downloading the driver first/delete the old driver first.etc? Also, I have a disc that came with the new card. Do I use that to get the drivers or go to the invidia website? I want this install to go as smoothly as possible so expert help would be appreciated.
    I'm not sure how to direct you to the previous post but it's in this section. Take a look for some background.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I suggest that your carefully read the instructions published by EVGA.   I have multiple EVGA graphics cards and none of the directions ever suggested to uninstall the old video drivers prior to installing the new graphics card.  Use the drinver disk that comes with the graphics card after your boot up. The default Windows drivers will work and then you can install the EVGA supplied drivers.  EVGA also has a web site that you can obtain later drivers that have been tested by EVGA for your graphics card.
    The modern HP motherboards will automatically switch to the discrete graphics card if detected and if it is compatible with the BIOS and motherboard.
    The NVIDIA 7xx series graphic cards have been problematic with HP motherboards using a version 7 BIOS.  some may work and some may not work.
    The reality is that there is no a guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.
