Satellite C50: Has anyone ugraded Atheros to Intel WiFi card?

Has anyone actually replaced the Atheros wifi card with the Intel centrino one?
If so can you recommend one with 2.4/5mps.
Does the C50 have two internal antennae?
I take it the card in under the keyboard?

Hi
Hmm I guess even if keyboard removal isnt very difficult for people with disassembling experiences, you would lose the warranty.
Therefore I would think twice performing such procedure.
But I guess you will need to disassemble the whole notebook (removal of bottom cover would be necessary) in order to get access the WLan card.
In my opinion this is more tricky as an simple keyboard removal.
If I would be you, I would ask some authorized service engineer for WLan card replacement.

  • Has anyone TRIED using a 128GB SD card in a Lumia ...

    I know the 520 is documented  as supporting up to a 64GB card, but has anyone actually tried plugging a 128GB card into a 520?
    Thanks in advance to all of you pioneers who choose to forge your own path.

    The specs said 64 GB just because at the time there was no 128Gb uSD. There is no difference between the two as far as access so no reason why they should not work. Most specs have since been updated to reflect this.
    The 520 has been superceded by then and there's no solid indication/ mention of support. WHy no upgrade to a x3x model which does? If you want to try it's at your own risk but make sure you at least run WP8.1

    Yes, you heard it right. HP has whitelist of their wifi card.
    Evenif with the wifi card that pull out from other HP model, there is posibility that card may not work.
    How to identify the compatible one? Downloading Service and Maintenance guide of your model would let you know the compatible one.

  • Has anyone had success using NI PCI cards at -20C? My specific needs are for RS-422/482 and GPIB cards.

    NI cards have been qualified to operate only to zero degrees C. I need serial abd GPIB PCI cards that operate to -20C for military application. Has anyone had success using these cards at this lower operating temperature?

    Hi,
    I am not sure if this helps, but the ENET-232 is spec'd to operation at -40 degrees C.

  • T61, T60 - BSOD for Intel WiFi cards, Middleton BIOS, & Win 8.1 & 10

    This is an "all-in-one" post. Recently, my trusty T61p started getting Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) with the following message:
    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQAL in sysnetwlv64.sys This has been frequently reported as a complication of Windows 8.1 (only) when installing the Intel drivers for the 3945 and 4965 WiFi cards.  Both Intel and Microsoft state that these cards, plus the 5200 are no longer supported, but the 6200, 6300, etc. are. Suggested remedies are:
    1. For the T61's, reflash with the Middleton BIOS (2.29 plus mods - no white list, SATA 2 works).  Then install a more recent WiFi card that has supported drivers for Win 8.1.
    2. Change cards in both the T60 and T61s to the IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter 42T0825 (this is an Atheros AR5008 5418 AR5BXB72). In recent posts I have seen about Win 10, the old Intel drivers that used to work for Win 8.0 (but didn't in 8.1) appear to work in Win 10.  (However, since it is still before July 29, I can only assume this is in preview versions, not RTM).  If anyone has actually in installed the Win 10 RTM and had no problems, this whole thing may be a "non-issue".  Is there any experience with this? If I follow the remedies suggested above:
    1. Using the replace the card approach with the Middleton BIOS, what is a good card to get?  The other benefit of the Middleton BIOS is to allow the harddrives in the T-61's as SATA 2 instead of the dumbed-down SATA 1 as in the stock 2.29, 2.30 BIOS
    2. If I follow the replace with the Atheros cards, I assume the best approach is to see if there are 3 antennas in the T60 (the T61's already have them).  If not, I understand that I can add the 3rd antenna with FRU 42R9909. For specific machine configurations, see the specs at the bottom (they're all "FrankenPads"). Many thanks for looking and your comments... --------------------------------------T-61p -- 15.4" WXSGA+, Win 8.1 64-bit, BIOS 2.30, CPU-T9500 2.6 GHz (Penryn), RAM 8GB DDR2-667 (2x4GB), HD 500GB (7200RPM, SATA 2, WD5000BPKT-00PK4T0), NVIDIA Quadro F570FM (1680x1050 - 9.18.13.2702), DVD-RAM, WiFi Intel 4965 (13.3.0.137), Ethernet Intel 82566MM (9.13.41.3), Ricoh Media Cardbus (6.3.9600.16384), Biometric CPU (1.6.1.341), Conexant Modem (7.62.0.0), Broadcom Bluetooth (12.0.0.8047) T-61 -- 14.1" WXGA+, Win 8.1 64-bit, BIOS 2.30, CPU-T7800 2.6 GHz (Merom), RAM 8GB DDR2-667 (2x4GB), HD 320GB (7200RPM, SATA 3, WD3200BEKX-22B7W4T0), NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M (1440x900 - 9.18.13.2702), DVD-RAM, WiFi Intel 4965 (13.3.0.137), Ethernet Intel 82566MM (9.13.41.3), Biometric CPU (1.6.1.341), Conexant Modem (7.62.0.0), Broadcom Bluetooth (12.0.0.8047) T-60 -- 14.1" XGA, Win 8.1 32-bit, BIOS 2.27, TPM 1.2, CPU-T7600 2.3 GHz (Merom), RAM 3GB usable DDR2-667 (2x2GB), HD 320GB (7200RPM, SATA 2, WD3200BEKT-00PVM4T0), Intel Graphics 945 Express (1024x768 - 8.15.10.2697), DVD-RAM, WiFi Intel 3945ABG (13.3.0.137), Ethernet Intel PRO/1000PL (9.15.11.0), Biometric CPU (1.6.1.341), Conexant Modem (7.62.0.0), Broadcom Bluetooth (12.0.0.8047)

    I'd say go with Middleton BIOS either way (SATA II). In which case, get a newfangled 802.11ac card while you're at it.

  • Has anyone had a problem with memory cards switching the file from EOS to EKS?

    My camera memory cards have suddenly switched from an EOS file to an EKS file and are no longer readable.  I don't know if the problem is my computer, my card reader, my memory cards, or my camera.  It doesn't seem probable that two cards would become corrupted or go bad at the same time.  I have two large capacity cards and two new high capacity cards that I haven't tried yet, but I'm afraid to try to use any of my other cards until I know what is going on with these two.   The camera I'm using a 5D Mark II.  Can anyone please help!   This is a serious problem for me! 
    Thank you to everyone for your help and assistance!
    Best regards,

    Lightroom should recognize your camera (assume it's LR3 or later) automatically without pointing it to the DCIM directory. The files you are referring to is system file I think and not the photos; thus OS cannot read the file.
    Do you have a card reader? For some reason, if you connect your camera into Lightroom directly, sometimes LR doesn't show the preview of your images. Instead you'll get ? next to a gray box. If you don't have a card reader, just plug your camera in, ignore the ? and the gray box (this is LR problem, not your camera), then import them anyway. You should see your test shot once it's done importing.

  • Has anyone integrated with PaymentTech for credit-card processing?

    My client would like to capture credit-card payments using PaymentTech payment processor. We are using Oracles Apps 11i. I am aware that AR is integrated with iPayment for credit-card processing. However iPayment uses Cybercash as the payment system and it does not currently support voiceauth (i.e. ability to capture/settle payments based on an authorization not obtained via iPayment).
    Has any one done any custom development to integrate directly to PaymentTech (or to a
    3rd party application which integrates with PaymentTech)? I would appreciate if you can provide any directions.
    Thanks.

  • TS1398 Has anyone had a problem with wifi going to sleep on a mini?

  • Has anyone experience Mac Pro Server RAID card failure?

    RAID card of our company's Mac Pro server broke twice in less than 12 months, resulting in our server being out of office for more than 11 weeks for repair. I really would like to know if we are just unlucky or if this kind of hardware failure happened also to other people?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    I know it's no consolation to you but judging from my experience I think you've been unlucky.
    I've installed Apple RAID Cards in numerous XServes and MacPros at many sites and apart from the rare battery failure they've all gone OK and are still working as intended AFAIK.

  • Has anyone have an issue with wifi on iOS 6?

    I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 and sure enough I'm not on wifi anymore but on 4G so I go setup wifi in setting and I can't turn it on? Is this a bug or is it just me?

    I had the same problem, my wifi wouldn't connect to my home network any longer and I would keep getting some 'login' screen that takes me to an apple.com error page.  I fixed it by choosing the individual network i was trying to hook on to under the wifi settings, then tapping the 'renew lease' button.  It hooks up like it should now.

  • Has anyone had problems connecting to wifi after updating to iOS 7.1?

    After updating to 7.1, I can't access my wifi at home.  I don't think there's anything wrong with the wifi because I can still use the wifi on my iPad which I haven't updated to 7.1. 

    Problems with DNS numbers was my other theory. If that is the case, a Physical address like:
    http://17.149.160.49
    will immediately load, while:
    http://apple.com
    will just sit there until it times out.
    Non-responsive DNS server or invalid DNS configuration can cause long delay before webpages load

  • T400 Intel WiFi Card 5100 drops connection.

    Hello. We are receiving T400 laptops.  These laptops do not hold a wireless connection for any length of time.  They also have a hard time connecting at boot up.  Item that have been tried...
    01) Removed and re-installed Drivers.
    02) Removed and reinstalled Access Connections. (Leap Authorization is used)
    03) Removed and replaced the Wireless Card. FRU 43Y6943.
    We are using Windows Xp with SP 2.  The laptop runs fine and we have no complaints with the exception of the wireless.  I might mention that we had the same issue with T61 Models.  To resolve this issue, we removed the B/G/N card and installed B/G cards.  We do not utilize "N" Band, so we do not need this capability.  I was looking for a way to do the same to the T400 Laptops, but I am unable to find a compatible B/G card to use.  The BIOS generates the 1082 error if we attempt to use a card that is not approved for the model.  Any assistance would be appreciated...
    Thanks. Bob...

    Your right about it not listing T400 for this driver - http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-52527 but trust me we have T400's and switched to this driver because with the latest driver for what ever reason would bluescreen when you press ctrl+alt+del and click change password.  It's weird but trust me I had troubleshooted everything and was at a lost until I found anothe blog that this guy mentioned and tested it out and guess what it worked.  Uninstall the wireless from device manager and run the setup.exe and delete previous installation and reboot.  It's that simple.  It will install the wireless card that came with the T400 without you having to swap the cards.
