What wireless card do I put in my HP PAVILION DV6748US ENTERTAINMENT NOTEBOOK PC? Have 2 options.

I need to replace the wireless card in my notebook but I don't know which to choose. There's the Broadcom 4311AG Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g mini PCI adapter card(Bevo) - 54Mbps data rate, 2.4GHz operating frequency range -  For Rest of World (ROW) or the Broadcom 4321AGN 802.11a/b/g/draft-n mini-PCI adapter card - For Most of the world MOW. I don't know which one to pick.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

It is a standard laptop 2.5 inch wide SATA hard drive like shown in this picture:
Look at Page 9 of this Manual:
Drive Manual
This will show how to replace it. Do you have the recovery disks that you could have made when the laptop was new? If not you are going to have to get a Windows disk or some HP recovery disks.
Here is a drive that would work for you.
160 gig 7200 rpm drive for $45
This drive will be faster than what you had and is a bit larger. A very good deal for the price. You perhaps already have a second hard drive in the system. See the manual on page 9 for the location of both hard drive bays. You could move the secondary drive (if there is one) over into the primary position without spending a nickel. In fact, that is a great idea. If you do that and still get the BSOD, then it might well be something else going on other than the hard drive. The hard drive is a likely issue but it could also be the memory and other things, too. However, I think the second drive is only found in the dx9000 models so do not be shocked if you do not have a secondary hard drive bay in your machine. I have never seen a dx6000 series but am pretty sure it is a lot like the dv6000 series of which I have seen more than my share. They have a lot of issues and I am concerned you will be spending money on a new hard drive that will not fix anything.
Feel free to post back with issues or questions.

  • What Wireless Card for Satellite A10-S213

    Hi,
    My laptop is A10-S213. I am going to go wireless next week. I think I need to buy a wireless card in order to be wireless enabled. Could someone tell me _*WHAT*_ kind of card should I buy and _*WHERE*_ would be the best value place to get it from?
    P.S.: I checked the product specification, it says 802.11b.
    Many thanks.
    Florence

    Hello
    According notebook specification your A10 is WLAN ready and it can be upgraded with WLAN card.
    As compatible cards I have founded Wireless LAN card PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802.11b) and PA3273U-2MPC (802.11a/b). Google a little bit around and pick up info about price and shops where you can order it.
    Bye and good luck!

  • What wireless card can enable my U530 use 5GHz network

    The built-in Intel N 7260 on U530 is just single band. I can't use 5GHz network. Also, I found this wireless card really sucks! Sometimes, it stops working.
    My old laptop's Intel N 6205 is much better, never had this kind of problem.
    I wonder what kind of wireless card could be for replacement? Could anyone provide the purchase link for me? Do I have to de-whitelist the BIOS? My current wireless card on U530 is shown as below. Thanks!

  • What wireless card works well with Arch?

    Hello there
    I recently finished building my quad-core (yay!) pc and because I don't want to run a long ethernet cable across the house, I was wondering if you guys knew any wireless cards I could use for my desktop (PCI/PCI-Express) that would work well with arch. I'd prefer to order it over the internet, and don't want to spend more than $100 (tax/shipping included). I know there was an earlier thread about this, but I didn't want to revive it and I also had some "requirements" in which I pick out. All help is appreciated

    wow thank u very much wow. i am handicap so i am not a computer guy. thanks again do u think i should wait for black friday or cyber monday and my budget is 200 if they dont drop maybe 270x i will buy
    They will always be dropping in price and there will always be something faster coming out next month, but it's not a bad idea to wait for black friday or cyber monday. My normal advice is buy as much card as you can afford today and be happy. 
    $200 range, I'd look at this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127761
    It's a great card, I'm running a pair of last year's models at 5760x1080, medium to high on most games with some eye candy turned on. A single card should perform great at your resolution.

  • What graphics card should I put in my Pavilion 23t AIO to run Battlefield 3?

    The graphics card in the Pavilion 23t isn't suited for gaming, which another person has already told me, so I'm wondering which graphics card and/or other parts should I replace in my computer in order to be able to play games like Team Fortress 2 or Battlefield 3 smoothly.

    BH,
    It's very likely the user does not know the actual model #.  The faceplate on the monitor is 23tm. Needs to look on the backside for the model # or actual product #. Either way, there is no physical means of changing out the CPU or GPU. The AIO series were never meant to be gamer's delight.

  • Where can I find a wireless card for my early 2009 Mac Pro (MB871LL/A, MacPro4,1)?

    Where on on earth can I purchase a wireless card for my Mac Pro?
    Apple is of no help.  Their "Geniuses" told me that it is impossible for them sell one to me because Apple will not supply wireless cards or memory for previous generation computers.  That is totally absurd.  If I want to get a wireless card for my 2 year young computer I can't? I have to buy a brand new computer with one previously installed. Ridiculous!
    Any help or suggestions would be of great value to me.

    Well I found what I think is the correct card on B&H.
    Hopefully it works....

  • Can I connect with built-in laptop wireless card?

    Hi, I have a WRT54G set up and working fine on my main pc, connected to cable modem with a pc and laptop using linksys adapters.   BUT I am trying to connect my third laptop using the internal wireless built in and was wondering how to connect this way.   It was easy with the adapters because I used the linksys software that came with them.   But with the built-in which is an Intel-PRO, it states the "wireless connection is not connected" and when I access the properties it tells me that I should configure with the software that came with the device.  I'm running XP as the OS.    I'm stumped.  Any advice?  Thanks.

    In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off the software firewall, and see if this helps.
    Also, what wireless card are you using?  The Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg card is known to have connection problems that were fixed with the latest driver.  If you have this card, go to the Intel web site and download and install the latest driver.

  • S230u Thinkpad Twist Intel Wireless Card Compatability?

    Is there an official list as to what Wireless Cards will work with the Lenovo Twist.  I know when they were sold you had two options of cards, and had to decide if you wanted the Intel which supported Miricast or the Broadcom version which supported 5Ghz. Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 BGN & BT 4)Thinkpad a/b/g/n Wireless & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 ABGN & BT 4.0) Now there are Intel Cards out that support all of the above such as the Advanced-N 6235, but I can find no information if this or any other Intel cards will work with the Thinkpad Twist.  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    There was an interesting post on Amazon about wireless cards for the Twist.  I'm going to try to upgrade from my Broadcom to an "Intel WiFi part 2230BNHMW chip with "FRU P/N 04W3765" written right on the face of the card" on my 3-year-old Twist, based on the poster's info: "Some Twists come with WiDi support and some don't. Mine didn't. It had the newest dual band (2.4 and 5 g) WiFi card that doesn't support WiDi because it isn't made by Intel. Lenovo did this all to save a couple of bucks. So I brought a WiFi card that did support WiDi and Lenovo had whitelisted the card and I had to return it to get a single band, "Lenovo certified", Intel chip. It would have been nice if Lenovo stated that it didn't have the correct WiFi card for WiDi. You will need the Intel WiFi part 2230BNHMW chip with "FRU P/N 04W3765" written right on the face of the card - the 04W3765 is the Lenovo part number. This is the only chip that will get past Lenovo whitelisting that will make WiDi work. Using the new Intel Wifi card had no impact the Twist's WiFi performance at my house. When I installed the WiFi chip, I didn't have to update any drivers. The computer automatically did it upon booting. The chip was very easy to install and if you go to the Lenovo Twist support website the manual shows you exactly how to do it. However, I did have to update the Audio driver using the Lenovo driver website. This is important because I updated all of the drivers using the Lenovo website when I got the computer. However, the Lenovo website failed to update the audio drivers. So when I first used the WiDi I had no sound. It was very easy to update but you will likely need to update the audio drivers separately should you do what I did. Once I installed the WiDi software for Windows 8 (from the Lenovo Website) and added the Neatgear Push2TV 3000 to my TV, it worked like a charm (I also updated the software on the Push2TV 3000 - PTV3000 that I purchased from Amazon. However, I don't think that this was critical)."  

  • Upgrade wireless card for DV6-6B26US....

    I have two Hp laptops that are used for work. One is a HP Pavilion DV6-6B26US and the other is a HP Pavilion G4-1215dx.
    Recently our employer informed us that company network upgrades will require laptops to have dual band (2.4 & 5 GHz) wireless cards (as the are blocking 2.4 GHz bands in selected locations).
    I initially attempted to upgrade the HP Pavilion G4-1215DX with an Intel Centrino 6235 Advanced WiFi card and found that the BIOS contained a whitelist preventing use of the Intel card. I was able to find and order a suitable replacment listed in the service guide for the laptop:
    Realtek 8188BC8 802.11a/b/g/n 2×2 WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0+HS Combo Adapter  (602993-001)
    I cannot, however, find a suitable dual band wireless card listed in the service guide for the HP Pavilion DV6-6B26US. I need to know if a whitelist is employed in the bios for this machine, and if so, which dual band wireless card would be comapatible with this machine?
    Alternatively, is there a BIOS avaiable for this machine (or both machines) that does not employ whitelisting of wireless cards?
    Thank you,
    Patrick

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the whitelist is still present in this model series (Dv6-6000). I haven't been able to find any compatible dual band wireless card because all wifi chips from the manual are only 1x1. Have you tried the Realtek 8188 on a 5Ghz network? I don't think that it's a dual band wireless card..

  • HT4990 Why is there no option to create cards in the iPhoto app? It seems odd that they have options for photo book but no cards??

    I just purchased the iPhoto app for the ipad. I was very disappointed that there is no place to create cards/post cards from the iPad itself. It really seems odd since they have options to make photo books but nothing for cards and prints?
    Is there any other thing I can use to get this feature from the ipad itself?

    There used to be the free Cards.app to create greeting cards, but is has been discontinued two month ago:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4990

  • 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:

    You will need to load the correct Intel driver and I would just have it downloaded to the laptop before you do the swap:
