Satellite P10-804 wireless card upgrade

Hi,
Ive been trying to find a list of compatible wireless cards to upgrade my Satellite P10-804 but can't find any.
The the current wireless card is a Toshiba PA3171U-1MPC but it doesnt do the 802.11G standard and no WPA security.
Anyone know of what are good replacement cards that will work on my laptop?
Ive come across this one but Im not sure if it is compatible or not as I can't find any compatibility info for it: PA3416U-1MPC
Thanks,
Mark

Hi
I think the PA3416U-1MPC should be compatible.
I mean the notebook supports the miniPCI Wlan card and the PA3416U-1MPC is a miniPCI Wlan card.
The WLan antenna behind the notebooks screen should be connected to the connectors placed on miniPCI WLan card.
The two connectors are marked with MAIN and AUX. Normally a white cable goes to the MAIN and a black to the AUX
bye

Satellite P75-A7200 Wireless Card Upgrade

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has upgraded their Wireless Card in their Satellite P75-A7200. Until I got it home, I didn't realize that it was only a single band card and doesn't support 5ghz wireless N which is all I run my network on at home for bandwidth purposes since my neighborhood is flooded with 2.4 ghz users. It appears its a simple swap to change, but I need to know if if the Antennas support 5ghz.
According to Intel's Docs:
"Before installing Intel® wireless adapters supporting IEEE* 802.11a, verify with the laptop manufacturer that the laptop includes a 5GHz (802.11a) capable antenna..."
I was going to switch it out with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 or Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth
I'm just not sure about the midle antenna port that the 6300 has since the P75-A7200 only has 2 wireless
Attached is what adapter I currently have installed. (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230)
Any help is appreciated. I am a very technical person, so I'm not a noob at this. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was finally able to extract the screw very gently with a power drill and #1 screw extractor. I then installed the new card in under 15 seconds. Booted right up and I had 5gz connectivity with upwards pf 160mbps (and I'm not even close to the router). No need to update any drivers. Definitly worth the $30 investment. Thanks to priuscat for providing the information on what card to get.
Attached is exactly how the new card looks from Amazon

Satellite P10-804: How to remove the HDD?

I'd like to remove the 60Gb internal hard drive from my satellite P10-804 and replace it with a bigger drive, but cannot figure out how to get inside the case to remove the HDD.
Does anyone have details on how to do this?

Hi
In my knowledge the HDD must be placed under the optical dirve.
To remove the HDD, first remove the battery pack and optical drive, then follow the steps below:
1. Remove four black screws securing the aluminum shield covering the HDD and lift it out.
2. Gently pull the HDD toward the computers front panel to disconnect it from the system board, then lift it out.
3. Remove the four silver screws that secure the HDD case to the HDD.
But be careful. If you have no experiences ask someone with more experience in such replacements.

Satellite P10-304: WLan card replacement - Do I need the same Wlan chip?

Hi all,
got a satellite P10-304 from a mate here.
He said the wireless has never worked on it and hes had it years and someone else has already looked at it and changed the wireless card TNA.
Basically it just acts as if the wireless switch isn't working and it stays permanently off although the drivers install fine and the card shows as ok. Just disconnected.
Now I thought, ok, i'll take a look as I'm pretty good on the old hardware. Took it apart and what do you know, the switch was bent and not in place. I put the switch back into place, checked in the on and off positions with a multimeter to check the switch was working and it was doing its job perfectly.
Now it still does not work.
I am guessing this is now due to the fact that as I said, the card has been changed from its original to an intel pro jobby.
My question is, am I right, do I just need to get the same card that was originally in it. I assumed that when the switch was put back correct I would have it solved.

Hi
The WLan card should be enabled bu switching the switch to ON position (the LED should light up) and additionally you should chose the WLan antenna using the key combination FN + F8.
Please check this!
Note; go to device manager -> Wlan card properties -> Advanced tab
There you can check if WLan is enabled as well.

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.

1 x B6 Screw

Wireless Card Upgrade Help!

Hello,
First post so be gentle with me! I need some help upgrading my wireless card on my Compaq nx6310 laptop. I have the original card in there since new and I now have a much faster fibre connection with a Hauwei HG533 wireless router so I understand if I upgrade the wireless card to an all singing all dancing 802.11 b/g/n one I can connect at a faster speed. I´m running XP Home SP3. I understand the card must be a genuine HP product or on the bios whitelist but I don´t know if one is available for my kit and where I can get one. I want the best available. I have attached some pics. of the existing one.
Thank you in advance for any help......
This question was solved.

Since your interest is in upgrading to an802.11b\g\n wireless adapter then you simplest solution is to purchase a Type I, or Type II , or Type III Cardbus wireless card. You may have to look for that type of card in the preowned market.
The card plugs into the slot(s) on the left-hand of your notebook.
There are no internal network adapter currently made that will fit your notebook.
Your notebook is of a notebook generation when only 802.11 a\b\g existed and that is what makes cardbus adapters your best option.

Wireless card upgrade

Hi,
I would like to upgrade the old Intel WiFi Link 5100 wireless card in my DV7-2185dx to a new wireless AC card. Would the AC card be compatible? If so, which card would be recommended? I have an AC router and a USB adapter that works great, I just would like to have something internal. Maybe even a combo card with bluetooth to free up one of my USB ports.
Thanks

Hi,
These laptop still have the whitelist in the BIOS. You can't use anything else except cards from the list of compatible components in the Service Guide for your laptop.

450 g2 Wireless Card upgrade and antennas

Hello,
I just ordered a ProBook 450 G2, model # L8D98UT. It comes with the Intel 3160 AC Wireless card. I'd like to upgrade this to the 7260 AC Card. Is this possible, and does this specific model come with the 2 antenanas required for the 7260 Wireless AC Card? I was unable to tell from the specifications if 1 or 2 antennas are in the display bezel.
Thanks

Hi:
That shouldn't be a problem.
If you look at the service manual, it shows 2 antennas on the procedure for removing and replacing the WLAN card.

Satellite P10: Which Wifi card will fit?

HI
Im looking to fit a mini pci wifi card to my P10
model PSP10E-0RCJM-EN trouble is I don,t know which type will fit I seen several cards offerd that involve doing away with the wifi on off switch I would prefer to keep this feature so need to know what cards support it prefer a 54g card if poss.

Hi
I have found that wireless card with part number PA3212U-3MPCR is the right one for your notebook. The problem is that this card is IEEE 802.11b with 11Mbps data transfer rate.
I don`t know which one with standard g will fit to your notebook. The best solution is to contact service partner. I am pretty sure that they have this kind of information.

Satellite P10-873 Wireless LAN Connection

Hi all,
I have a Satellite P10-873 laptop. I've just purchased a Netgear DG834GT wireless modem/router and cannot get fully connected to the internet via Tiscali (ISP).
The problem manifests itself in that I can connect to the router and can even ping various sites on the net. However trying to connect to a site using MSIE I just get "cannot connect" rejection page.
In addition using the CMD prompt, attempting a Telnet session to a web site on port 80 is rejected e.g "www.bt.com 80".
I've set all security to a minimum with no effect.
I have an other notebook which connects and functions perfectly with the Netgear/Ticali setup. I've also identically configured MSIE on both machines without success.
Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing this???
Thanks Mike
[Edited by: admin on 14-Oct-05 11:49]

I have just set up the same router/modem (yesterday). I had a similar problem until I disabled Norton's Personal Firewall. (Windows Firewall already disabled) It then connected and I set up Nortons again afterwards (despite the manual saying do not use 3rd party firewalls. I also need help with my P10-304. I can't get the Intel 2200BG wireless minicard to work. Any ideas?

PAVILION DV7 QUAD WIRELESS CARD UPGRADE?

My dv7 quad came with the intel centrino wireless n 1030. I tried to update it to the intel n 6235 and it wont boot up and tells me this module is not compatible. i have a picture and will try to upload. 1. iam looking for a wireless card that is dual band and 300mbps. if anyone can help my find this that will work that would be great.

I clicked the link you provided regarding the Bios. I already have the version (F.29) installed. I do not want to use an external dongle as that essentially brings the functionality and convenience of using my laptop back 10 years. Sorta like adding an external floppy drives to computers in the old days, or the God forsaken Ipads nowadays. Taking a step backwards to say the least. In regards to the Broadcomm 4322, which particular part number are you referring to? A quick search reveals this is old technology that rarely works with Windows 7 and is replete with problems. Most people only get it to work with Windows XP, and only marginal at best. A search within HP own forums brings up similar comments. It seems users of Pavilion DV7's and DV6's are locked out of new technology even though our computers are only a couple of years old. Not something I was aware of, or expected when I purchased two top end HP Laptops at the time. Thanks for your replies, but it seems I'm still in the same boat as everyone else with these products. Surely there has to be a way for HP to allow their customers to upgrade to new technology? I can't believe HP deliberately relegated a large swath of their products to planned obsolescence? As I said before, this is a specific widespread problem as described in Amazon product reviews, HP forums, a a multitude of other technical help sites. I'm a big spender when it comes to computers, as many people are. This doesn't help your cause. Regards...

Compaq CQ61 Wireless Card Upgrade

I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA, running 64bit Windows 7. The current wireless card only works on 2.4Ghz band and I want to upgrade it to a dual-band one to get better speed etc at 5Ghz. I have a replacement Intel Centrino N6230 card, but the laptop will not accept anything other than the default card. On startup it halts with an error message saying that it will not continue unless the 'unauthorised device' is removed. If I re-install the original wireless card, it starts up and works fine, but that's not the point, I want to upgrade it.
I assume that the default is to lock down part of the BIOS in the laptop to prevent unauthorised tampering with in-warranty laptops, but mine is well outside the warranty.
I know the card works because I installed it in my previous laptop and I've been in electronics for around 30 years and have spent some 5 years of that repairing laptops, desktops, servers, etc so I'm pretty sure I'm capable of plugging a card in and installing the driver!
Does anyone out there know a way around the block? Without it I'm not going to be able to upgrade the laptop.
Anyone?
This question was solved.

Don't completely blame HP, but it is kind of a 1984 thing involving your Federal Government. HP and Lenovo read some Federal Communication Comm regs on registering wireless radios (including laptop wifi cards) to require that alternate cards be blocked. Other laptop makers did not agree and now the "whitelist" is history but there is no effort to go back and do new BIOS for older units.
HP versions of the wireless card have some specific identification in the firmware which the HP whitelist looks for before clearing the card for use so you have to use the HP version. I looked pretty hard for an HP version of the card and the one I linked is all I could find. Google around and you may do better.

Z60t - wireless card upgrade

This is very frustrating. I need to upgrade this old and reliable work horse to Wireless-N. Bought TWO cards, mini-PCI-e Wifi-N 150 mbps however the laptop doesn't seem to just accept it - either one. Is it some sort of IBM thing preventing 3rd. party Wireless cards? I am in XP SP2 with max memory. (Kindly don't suggest me to use g instead of N as the place I am in, transmitting exclusively in N only).
2nd. problem: I used the IBM provided demos, document but somehow my Trackpad just doesn't accept any taps! The UltraNav wizard shows everything is fine, enabled, etc. The right-left buttons also does not work - up or the down ones. Track pad works, i.e. the pointer moves, etc. but clicks just doesn't work!
3rd. : Is it possible for me to swap out the HDD and replace with SSD? Realizing what's happening with my WiFi upgrade, I am hesitant to spend money and attempt upgrading...
Kindly help.

3rd. question is answered, thanks to this forum. SATA III is backward compatible and I have a 120 Gb SSD drive already available...
Right now, trying to resurrect this venerable laptop but the mouse keys (as in the keyboard), taps and bottom-most keys of the touch pad doesn't work. Somehow, the in-built wireless also doesn't work....

Satellite P10-804: HDD Issue SMART WARNING

When I start up or reboot I get a message:
SMART: HDD Failure Is Imminent - Back Up And Replace HDD - Press F1 To Continue
Not the exact wording, though more or less correct.
This started 3 days ago. Basic online research suggests that the SMART warning system is not always correct.
1. Is there any software which will check the HDD and correct some errors ?
2. If I need to replace the HDD, what are the specs it can be replaced with ?
3. What is the largest Gig size it can take ?
4. What is the process, after replacement to use the Restore CD ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
In an effort to help users avoid data loss, drive manufacturers are now incorporating logic into their drives that acts as an "early warning system" for pending drive problems. This system is called Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART).
The hard disk's integrated controller works with various sensors to monitor various aspects of the drive's performance, determines from this information if the drive is behaving normally or not, and makes available status information to software that probes the drive and look at it.
In your case it is possible that the HDD will be dead early or later.
The Satellite P10-814 was delivered with a IDE (ATA-5) 60GB HDD 4200rpm .
I think the 80 GB should also work on the unit but I'm not 100% sure about that.
After HDD replacing (not very difficult) you should only boot up from the CD.
Then the notebook will start to install the Toshiba image.
