U410 - Possible to upgrade wifi card w/ bluetooth

I bought a U410 knowing it didn't have bluetooth, at the time I thought I wouldn't need it. But now I would like to have it. Has anyone tried or know if it's possible to upgrade the Centrino Wireless-N 2200 card, to a card that includes bluetooth?

New wifi card with Bluetooth

Hi,
i search for my Probook 6550b a Mini Pci Express wifi card with bluetooth.
For the moment i have only a wifi card, with this spare part number 572509-001.
My CPU is a Intel I5 M520.
I found on the HP partsurfer site this card 593127-001. But the wifi is not the best on this card.
Are there any other better cards that work?

How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

Upgrade Wifi Card in my Satellite Laptop Help.

So our cable/Internet guy come out to our house to fix the internet, when he was done he did a test on all the computers, all were fine accept this laptop. The wifi speed is only pulling in half of what all the others are, even if we hold it directly next to the router.
I want to upgrade the wifi card to something that can take more advantage of our high speed interent, but i have little experience with laptops. I have been building and repairing my families desktop PCs for years, so i do have some experience in this area though.
i did some reading on how to phisically replace the card, so i can probably handle that pretty well, my real problem is finding out what cards are compatable. I can't find any detailed enough specs to find this information, such as, does the wifi card in this laptop use a PCIE slot or something else? Are there different size cards i need ti look out for, and i read something about BIOS white liisting.
One article said some manufatcurers black/witelist some hardware, and i was told to check and see if i can find if this is so, and if i can find the list. I would apreciate any help with thiis issue, thanks.
Anyways, my laptop version is, Satellite Toshiba C875D-S7331

I would love to see that list also I replaced my card with an azurewave broadcom card mod BCM94352HMB I can now connect at 866 mbps on AC but have found no way to get bluetooth to work the different driver installs tell me to turn on the Bluetooth I could not find anything in the bios to enable. The card is a 802.11/ac/867Mbps WLAN+BT4.0 half mini PCI-E.
computer is a S855-S5254....Both win10TP and 8.1 installed the proper broadcom driver automatically but I have not figured out the BT yet. This card picks up wifi better than the realtek that was original. I have read a lot of complaints on the intel cards so I went this way.

Satellite A100-207: Is it possible to upgrade graphic card for gaming

Hi
I am looking to buy the Toshiba A100-207 laptop and it comes with 128MB of shared graphics.
I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could upgrade the graphics (such as a nvidia card that I could buy and put in) or are the graphics fixed?
I would just like to know if I am able to upgrade?
Thankyou

Hi
In my opinion the graphic card and/or the CPU is not soldered on the new notebook generation. The parts should be simply plugged on the board.
But this does not change the upgrade situation.
Possibly you will be able to remove the graphic card but Im sure you will get compatibility problems with other hardware.
The stronger graphic card produces more warmness and the temperature would increases automatically to a higher level. This would lead to the overheating issue and the notebook would either shut down or not starts.
The desktop PC technology is simply different as on the notebooks. You can also not compare the different graphic cards. Notebook manufactures uses only the graphic card chips which dont supports an own cooling module.
Simply said its not possible to upgrade the graphic card.

Is it possible to upgrade graphics card in my S410?

I've bought a IdeaPad S410, equipeed with i5-4210U 1.70 GHz , Intel HD Graphics (Intergrated) and Radeon R5 M230. I would like to know if it's possible to upgrade my R5 M230 to a better Graphics card, perhaps R7 M260?
Any reply is greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance..

hi MizARe3,
Looking at the S410 hardware layout (page 59-60 of the hardware maintenance manual), the CPU and the discrete Radeon R5 M230 are both integrated to the motherboard, thus, you can't separately upgrade the discrete GPU.

Satellite A30-921: Is it possible to upgrade graphics card?

Is it possible to upgrade my graphics card? I have a Satellite A30-921 which comes with Mobile Radeon 9000 card.
Just wondering if it's possible to upgrade my graphics card

Hi Daniel,
The graphics card in your A30 is actually a chip integrated into the mother-board unlike a desktop PC where it is a separate card. This makes replacing it rather difficult/impossible without replacing the entire motherboard.

Upgrading Wifi-card in T420s ... will an Intel 6300 work? Other recommendations? Modded BIOS?

Hi all,
My trusty T420s (4172-CTO) has been rock solid for years but recently has started having issues with wifi disconnects. I've tried multiple wifi drivers, flashing my router firmware, even a new router. Nothing has helped. I am left with the conclusion that my card (Intel 6250) has got to go.
I am familiar with the whitelisting issue, but was wondering if there was a card I could use instead that would work without a bios mod. I checked the HMM and saw that the Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300, FRU 60Y3233, is listed for my application. I can get one on ebay fairly cheap. But, I see the 6300 has three antennas, not two like my 6250. Does this mean it won't work in my T420s? Would I just leave one of them disconnected? Which one?
Is there another card, already whitelisted, that would work?
Failing this option, I will go with another card (Intel 7260 unless somone has a better idea) and a modded BIOS. I have found a couple of forums and threads that walk through the process (and provide the BIOSes) but if someone has a recommendation for a site/service to use, I'd appreciate a heads up via PM as I can see such discussion isn't likely weclcome publicly.
Thanks, all.

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean "2.4 GHz WiFi reliability is a hit or miss"?
Warranty is over so no problem there.
I see a lot of 7260 cards, is there one in specific I need? Example:

N would actually be fine, don't really need AC, recently upgraded my router and don't feel compelled to change...the price difference is small, and I'm all for future-proofing, but, I just need the thing to WORK.
Thanks again.

Lion 10.7.1 upgrade WiFi card not detected

I am having a issue with my Mac Book Pro 15" purchased June 2009. I have upgraded to Lion when it was released. Everything was working perferctly fine. During last few days sometime it shows 'No hardware found" for wifi. After 2-3 times restart the wi-fi comes back. Sometime the it also gets hang. I think this is happening after 10.7.1 upgrade. I have not yet taken to Apple Store for support. If anyone having similar problem and if they have resolved, please post your findings. Thanks,

Upgrading WiFi Card

I just purchased a Toshiba P55-B5162 laptop that has wireless N and I want to upgrade it to wireless AC.
The laptop currently has a Atheros AR956X and I would like to install an Intel AC card however I am unsure of the size to get. I attached a picture of the current card. Please advise. Thank you.

Is it possible to use Intel PROset Wireless/WiFi card on MacBook late 2007 in replacement of Airport?

Will Intel PROset/Wireless WiFi card work on MacBook Late-2007? I don't have an Airport card with me as this MacBook was only given to me from a friend. Also will Mac OS X 10.6 install even though the WiFi card and Bluetooth card is not in the MacBook?
MacBook Late-2007, Mac OS X 10.6, 1GB RAM, 8x SuperDrive, 235GB 5400rpm HDD, Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, Intel GMA Graphics

I would seriously doubt that you will be able to use this card as a replacement for the AirPort Extreme card in your MacBook.
A better option would be to use a wireless USB Wi-Fi adapter instead. You can find these at a number of vendors on the Internet. One would be Other World Computing (OWC).
As far as installing OS X 10.6, you should be able to install it from the OS X installation disk regardless if the AirPort card is missing.

Is it possible to upgrade GPU for I5-4288U HP pavilion 15?

Pretty much as the title says, is it possible to upgrade graphic card on my laptop or is there chance for multiple gpu? I founded out that I have strong enough processor but the graphic card is lacking in performance. Thx for help

Consumer Laptop video comes "AS IS" not upgrades that only comes with board swap with a higher graphics chipset if available for that particular model. What info are you getting this from?

I have a dv4-2180us and I want to change out the wifi card for one w/ bluetooth and 5G

Product name dv4-2180US. My wifi card is intel wifi link 1000 BGB, and I'd like to switch it out to an intel 6230 that has both. Is it possible to modify the BIOS? I have upgraded my BIOS to the most recent 55454 hoping that would correct the problems with the keyboard...which it has not...but I'm far more interested in making full use of my network., Thanks.

I can tell you that you need to make sure the form factor is the same on the new as the existing one.
The bios really has no bearing on it. Its hardware thats compatible with hardware.
Parts like that are not readily available to swap from machine to machine. There are standards for which the card interfaces to the machine and thats why I mentioned the form factor of the card.
Physical dimensions are also to be noted, as some cards are larger than others with the same form factor.
You really have to do your homework and research to see what will work.
Your machine may already have a slot availble for a bluetooth board, or fingerprint reader as those are both viable options.
You are not likely going to get bluetooth and wireless n on the same card anyways. I would suggest looking for a dual band wireless n card and seeing if you have another slot to put a blutooth module into.
Another option is to get a type 2 cardslot module and just insert it when you need it. If your machine has this type of external cardslot it may be your cheapest option.

Is it possible to install an app obtained via a MicroSD card or Bluetooth?

Suppose I'm in an area where there is very little Wi-fi or other internet access (e.g. rural Papua New Guinea).
Or, an area where the internet is strictly controlled or monitored. So the Marketplace is not an option.
People around me are using their cheap cell phones to share photos via bluetooth, and music and videos via SD cards.
Question: can I also distribute an app via MicroSD card or Bluetooth?
I've tried this with some Java phones and found that installing an app from either of those sources is disallowed.
What about on FirefoxOS?
The Firefox OS web site says you can update the OS from an SD card.
One of the FAQ's at http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZTE-OPEN-C-3G-Unlocked-Firefox-Smartphone-Cell-Phone-Dual-Core-GPS-WiFi-AT-T-/291243074570?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item43cf70a40a suggests that you cannot install an app from an SD card, at least on a ZTE Open C.
But I'd like to get more of a horse's-mouth answer, if possible.
Is this something that Firefox OS leaves up to the discretion of each phone manufacturer?
Or is it considered such a security risk that Firefox OS will not allow it on any phone?
Thanks,
Lars

Hi, huttarl!
Beyond the Firefox Marketplace, your options for distributing apps are unfortunately rather limited.
To my knowledge, Firefox OS does not support any Bluetooth/microSD card app installation. However, you can install an app to a phone by connecting the phone to a computer via USB cable. This is often used by developers but may suit your needs: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Using_the_App_Manager See this article on the Mozilla Developer Network].
I hope that helps! Please feel free to post back with more questions.
