Replacing Wireless Card in T440p

I bought my T440p about a year ago. Been working fine and no real problems except when I purchased it I got the Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260 wireless card. Upon getting the laptop I realized it couldn't see/connect to 5ghz wifi networks and that I should have got a dual band card instead. I wanted to know a couple of things
1) is it possible to upgrade/replace my current wireless card with a new one?
2) if it is possible, is it something I can do on my own or would I need to send it in somewhere (I've never done anything like that before but I'm pretty confident in my abilities. That said if it is too technical I don't mind getting a pro to do it.
3) again if it is possible which card would be a good replacement?
Thanks for any help!

S10-3T - Replace Wireless Card in minipci-e slot

Hi
I removed the Atheros wireless card supplied with the S10-3T and replace it with an Intel one I have, and I got a message saying "unauthorised card please remove"... Also, the card I have is a minipci-e, so it will have to go into the slot saved for the 3g (could that be an issue?)
Do you guys know of compatible cards?
Regards
KK

The error indicates, installed card is not compatible. However, when you install Intel wireless card in place of Atheros wireless card it should be fix properly and in a same way as Atheros wireless card.
Kindly make sure you have updated BIOS as well, which is available on Lenovo website.
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/uk/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_3299.html
The compatible wireless card is Broadcom BCM4313 and Intel Centrino Wireless-N1000

Replacing Wireless Card In Deskrtop

Hello,
I need to replace my wireless card in my desktop. It is the orginial one that came with the computer about 5 years ago, it is an internal, skinny one with an adapter. I believe it is Lite-On Wireless USB 802.11 a/b. It doesn't have many bars and the driver is 2011 even though it says its the lastest driver. Any suggestions? I would like to get something without the adapter thing thats attached to it. Thanks

Alternatively where can I find a list of accepted wireless cards.

The manual I am looking at is here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02642701.pdf with the wireless information starting at the bottom of page for and continuing on page 5. The cards I have found that appear to be matches are:

Hi,
All compatible cards (with the part numbers) start from page 24 of the same manual. I suggest to use the Atheros AR9280 or the Broadcom 4322. These are only wifi chip, not combos with bluetooth but bluetooth connectivity can be added by a usb adapters. There is plenty of them on ebay.
AR9280: 580101-002
Broadcom 4322: 582564-001
Both chips are for the US etc..
edit: All three chips should work on your laptop but these are only 1x1 single band chips and won't support 5GHz network. 600370-001 is a Broadcom (4313) combo with bluetooth and the other one is the same Broadcom (4313) but only wifi chip.

Replacing wireless card for Twist (whitelisted 5Ghz card)?

Hello,
I unfortunately bought Intel Wifi card and learned that it cannot be used due to whitelisting of cards...
The laptop had a lower spec Intel card.
I would like to switch to dual band (2.4 & 5 Ghz) card that has BT 4.0.
Which options do I have and where to buy it (part number) ?
Thanks!

Everthing is whitelisted except your current one. GG

S12 Wireless card compatibility

I noticed that S12 (nvidia) rejects other Wireless Mini PCIe cards
with error message "card not authorized".
Is there a list of cards that are accepted?
My card has a suspected defective contact. I expect that I must replace it soon.
Lenovo, please provide us with a BIOS update that is less restrictive.
Thank you.

Hi fr0ggie,
This should explain why it doesn't work. Lenovo matches the card to the antennae in the computer in order to comply with FCC regulations regarding interference.
Any replacement wireless card has to have an FRU part number and be branded for a Lenovo. A generic card won't work, even though it might be the same exact card.
If you suspect a bad contact, remove the card and gently clean the contacts with a pencil eraser.

Suggested wireless cards?

Well, it looks like there are issues with the wireless on my ASUS M2N32 mobo, so until I can get a good ethernet connection I'd like to find a good replacement wireless card. This wireless card would preferably not drop my connection at random intervals.
What options are there for cards that work well and play nice with Linux? I don't mind using ndiswrapper if I really have to, but I'd like to avoid it.

Im using a Asus 107g PCMCIA card, rt2500 chipset.
Im using the rt2500 driver that is available threw pacman, netcfg and archassistant, works whitout any issues.Havent had the chance to try WPA yet so i dont know if that works.

Wireless card could not connect after mother replacement

Hi,
I just replace my lenovo T430i motherboard, everything working except Wireless card could not connect to wirelesss network. I take to the shop they replace new wireless card, but it still appear the same problem. Is there anyone having the same problem.
Best Regards,
Bunheng Mom

Hello bunheng,
If you could please boot into BIOS at start-up. On the main page this should show you your system-unit serial number, and the system board serial number. Could you check and make sure both of these fields are occupied.
One step at a time.
Hope this helps,
Alex

G62 Notebook wireless card replacement?

Hi all,
I've got a HP G62-18sa notebook with the standard RT3090 wifi+bluetooth combo card in and I was wondering if I can replace it at all? I've been looking at this card http://is.gd/nNjsK8
Reason I'm asking is the RT3090 card has very, VERY bad support for Linux and I'm looking to replace it. If the above card won't fit can anyone suggest ones that might fit and work under Linux?
Many thanks.
This question was solved.

Hi,
There are 2 compatible wifi/bth cards for your laptop, the Ralink and a Broadcom 4313. I would suggest to disable the whitelist (list of the compatible components) in the BIOS and after that you may use the Intel 6230 combo card (any wireless card you want) without problems..
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/20223-Remove-whitelist-check-add-ID-s-to-break-hardware-res...
I have disabled the whitelist myself and upgraded the wireless card to an Intel Ultimate-N 6300 450Mbps. It's not the best solution but works. I also use linux and Intel wireless cards have the best support, like HP printers..

Dm4-2191us wireless card replacement compatibility

Hey y'all,

I've just arrived after a long 8 hour flight to my home here in **bleep**atoga, American Samoa, and am typing this message using a friend's laptop at a Krispy Kreme. Normally the internet's pretty fast here. But anyways my wireless ain't connectin on my DM4 so I took it over to our local repair shop a few blocks over in Suifaga to see if the boys there could get it workin again. To make a long story longer, they've just called me on my cell phone to tell me that they can't get the old wireless working. My friend Fabien's going to say to you what they said to him when i handed him my phone after they called me. Bye :-*
Hello. I am the computer expert. I understand there is like a specific model of wireless device compadible with the HP DM4-2191us. My girlfriend say she think's that the cozmic radiashon is affecting her notebook while in the aeroplane. My girlfriend is looking for a wireless card that is compadible. I have looking inside her bios and saw that there are only these cards compadible which we can find on the island.

I want to replace my wireless card with a 5 ghz compatible card.. i have a hp pavillion g7-1220so ?

Anyone know which card i can buy who will work?

Hi:
There are no 5.0 GHz wireless cards that will work in your model.
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02834058/c02834058.pdf
Supported wireless cards with HP part numbers are listed in chapter 3 starting on page 26.
The Realtek and Intel cards listed as dual band cards are not correct. The realtek 8188 card is a single band card, and the Intel 6230 has the wrong part number and no one knows what the right one is. If you order the Intel card you get a single band Intel 1000 card or some other brand single band card.
You can only install one of the cards listed in the manual and it must have the HP part number on it or it will not work.

PCI-e wireless card causes lock ups Z87 MPower MAX

I've already asked this question once, but was part of an epic essay that I've decided to break down into smaller more manageable chunks (as unsurprisingly that one got no replies).
I've got an ASUS PCE-A66 wireless ac pci-e card. Had absolutely no issues with it in my old Z77 board, but I seem to be having a lot of issues with it in my new Z87 MPower MAX. System was locking up like mad when I was trying to install the drivers at first. Had to rip out the WiFi/Bluetooth/WiDi module to get the drivers installed but the system randomly hangs on boot up? Don't get the issues with the card unplugged and don't always get it with it plugged in, but there seems to be some form of conflict with it that I can't resolve. Has anyone else had any such issues with any PCI-e add in cards on this motherboard?
Specs are:
i7 4770k
MSI MPower MAX using .128 bios (will try the .131 later)
2x4GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400
Coolermaster Silent Pro Hybrid 1050w
EVGA NVidia GTX 780 SC ACX
Windows 8 Pro 64bit

Yes, old system was Win8 Pro 64 bit too and the drivers are Windows 8 certified. As I say though, I had no issues with it on the old build? Even got a replacement sent out by Amazon in case the card itself was damaged Did initially try to do a warm update of the hardware into the same OS installation but didn't play well so did a full re-install in the end. Tried standard and UEFI installs (just in case) and after a problem with my OCZ Vector 2 not being recognised I bought a new Samsung 840 Pro so was a virgin SSD installed on to as well.
I'll raise it directly with MSI but just wanted to know if anyone else had experienced anything similar with any wireless cards in this mobo.
Cheers for the reply though

Satellite Pro 4600 Wireless card does not work with WIN2K ?

I have a Satellite Pro 4600 with UK dealer installed PA3070U-1MPC wireless card running with Windows 2000
The wireless client manager finds the network of my wireless router and reports the signal is excellent and I see all green bars swhowing.
However I can't mske a connection, in 'connections' the wireless one says 'network cable is disconnected'
the router works ok with other laptops in my house.
I have latest version of Win2K also have downloaded and installed latest versions of client manager and WLAN card driver for win2k from toshiba website.
The 'toshiba support in Turkey' told me 'I need a different driver for Win2K for my wireless card cause the win2K driver on the toshiba website is not for 'this' wireless card'. I have waited for this for 3 weeks now and have been unable to reach the elusive UK Level 3 support who supposedly have this driver. I have seen on the internet the same wireless card is has been sold as a 'made by toshiba' accessory and it says it is compatible with Wim2K
What do I do next please ? Does this run at all with Win2K , is there 'another driver' and so on ?
Thanks

hello
please be more scpecific - what do you mean by 'disconnect the LAN' - I have nothing conneced there anyway ? do you mean 'disable' the LAN even though there is nothing plugged in ? can you please post the exact sequence of this so I can try ir too.
In the meantime my laptop has been to Toshiba for them to sort out at their highest level UK support base. I was hoping my troubles would be over - but no, read below what happened. They are basically saying my win2k is not in order but I had just installed and updated it so right now I haven't a clue what to do next.
START QUOTE of Toshiba Support response:
Sat Pro 4600
Serial No: 31474181G
Windows 2000 SP4 (customers build not recovery CD)
BIOS V1.80 not current therefore updated to V2.60
The notebooks wireless card is functional and has the correct driver installed, it also has the correct and latest version of the Wireless Client Manager. The wireless function appears to see the router but will not connect and obtain an IP address. Irrespective of the settings applied within Internet Explorer or the Wireless client manager you cannot obtain a connection. The customer did not have any Toshiba utilities installed such as, Power Saver, Common Modules, Chipset drivers, network device switch, I therefore installed these missing components and updated the BIOS to the most current revision. However despite this the unit will still not connect to the wireless.
I therefore removed the customers HDD and replaced his HDD with a Toshiba loan HDD with a fresh build that I had created. When using the machine with this build the wireless connected without issue and I was able to browse the internet etc. I placed the customers HDD into our machine and the problem with the wireless was replicated on our machine here, therefore the problem is not with the wireless card or any hardware aspect of the machine, the problem lies with the customer's build of Win 2000. I examined for anything obvious but could not find anything, therefore I'm sending this machine back to customer with the advice that his build needs addressing or he needs to reload Win 2000 his machine.
As you can see from the above comments, the machine performs as per specification with loan HDD and fresh build of Win 2000 installed, the problem is only present with you HDD and build in the machine. In addition to this I have replaced the missing screws on the base of the machine ensuring the machine is structure is maintained.

Can I put an Intel Advanced-N 6230 wireless card into my Pavilion dm4-3050us laptop?

I have been having problems with the wireless connection on my dm4-3050us laptop for several months now and am hoping to replace the wireless card in order to solve these issues.
Will I be able to put an Intel Advanced-N 6230 adapter into my machine?
If so, is there anything special I will need to do in order to make it work as it normally would? (i.e. special adapters to make it fit into the machine, driver updates, etc.)

You can use one of these:
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WLAN module 631956-001
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 WLAN module 572511-001
It HAS to be an HP branded card with the HP number. It is not good enough if it is another card with the same wifi chip. Only HP branded and numbered cards will allow the system to POST.
Here is the Service Manual:
Manual
See page 41. You may find that you need 3 antenna leads and the laptop only has 2. It is very hard to string another antenna lead but it can be done.
Here is the Advanced-N card on eBay which appears to have only 2 leads:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-OEM-HP-Pavilion-DV6-6000-WIFI-Wireless-Board-631956-001-/36077457082...
You will need to load the correct Intel driver and I would just have it downloaded to the laptop before you do the swap:
