Disconnected radio on map Wifi mini-PCI in Satellite Pro A40.

I installed a card Atheros Wifi Mini-PCI (marked Toshiba, model AR5004G) in my Satellite Pro A40. Pilots of the section of downloads on the A40 Toshiba support site installed fine, and everything seemed to work. But the card could not find my wifi network at home (I rigged the antennas to test, before taking the trouble to install in laptop).

Atheros client reported that the radio has been turned off and gave the solution like him allowing the use of the customer. But the enable and disable options are grayed out outside in the client. I took a peek in the bios of the A40 (latest version 1.50) and there is no option to turn on the radio. The FN + F8 key on the keyboard (which has a small icon of wifi on him) has also not made any difference.

To check that it wasn't the card, I have two-way autour cards from my other laptop. The new PCI card has worked well in the Acer while the former, one of the Acer is also off in Satellite Pro.

Does anyone have an idea on how to get the Sat Pro to switch on the map?

Hello

I checked the specifications Satellite Pro A40 and it seems that the WLan functionality is not available on this laptop.
Is - this laptop has a WLan switch on/off switch on the side of the laptop?

If this isn't the case, you cannot activate the antenna and so you cannot receive any signal!
It seems that you must use an external USB WiFi key.

  • Card wireless Mini PCI for Satellite Pro has 10

    Someone at - it successfully installed the Toshiba PA3300U-1MPC or any other in Satellite Pro A10 (model PSA15E-01PJY) wireless Mini PCI card? This model already has the internal antenna, the switch and the LED
    mounted.

    On the site of Toshiba UK accessories compatibility table indicates that the wireless adapter is compatible with the Satellite Pro A10 series. When I called the helpline (0870 444 89440) Toshiba, we said that this wireless card was not compatible with my laptop and have been unable to provide any internal wireless card that was.

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    @ drewlfths: I m not 100% sure where the wireless network card is placed on Satellite Pro M10.
    But in my opinion it s under the keyboard. I think the best way is to contact Toshiba service in your country for details.

    By the way: the Satellite Pro M10 supports only the standard Wi - Fi: 802. 11B. In this case I n t think you will be able to use a super G standard.

    In your case, I prefer to use an external solution such as a Wlan USB key.

  • Satellite A20-S103 WiFi mini PCI card need help

    Hello

    I own a Toshiba A20-S103. When I bought the camera there not of wireless. I have the switch but wireless. I would like to install it but I don't like solutions card mainly because of the portruding antennas and special care, I imagine that you must have for such a solution (do not break the card because of the carelesness). Now, I opened my laptop and I have the empty mini PCI slot and the antenna cables. I found several mini PCI card on the Toshiba site in the communication options and accessories section. The problem I have now is that although I found two mini PCI card 802.11a/b/g, which seems to be compatible with my model, I can't decide which is the best because the information provided for each of them are the same. The only thing that seems to be different is the reference number (PA3318U-2MPC and PA3298U-1MPC). Also, there is a two 802. 11 b / g cards compatible with my model but even once, I can't make my decision due to the fact that the information provided for these cards is not helping to distinguish between them. Looking in the manual, I found that my model suports only 802. 11a / b (or at least what they say). And there's a mini PCI 802.11 g on the Toshiba site which is not compatible with my model. If it makes me wonder if I can get a card 802.11 g. I would really like it for the higher speeds that it will support. I don't want to pay more money to use a PCI 802.11a/b/g only to discover that I can just conect to 11 Mbps and not 54 or so... Also, I found on the internet of the 802.11 cards g that promise speeds greater than 54 Mbps. Toshiba provides such a solution? If not, are there maps 802.11 g third-party compatible with my model? I hope that there is someone out there who can help me sort this mess.

    Hi Stefan

    It is not easy to give you a proper answer. In my opinion, it should work, but it is also important to install a suitable driver for the wireless card. I'm sure that it is possible to install the driver for another model mobile using the same wireless card. It will be perhaps better to contact the Service partner and ask them because they have such information and more experience with this sort of thing.

  • How can I activate the WiFi mini-PCI satellite 1905-S301 card?

    Greetz! I have installed a network card wireless mini-PCI in option in my Toshiba Satellite 1905-s301 specifications and turned on the power switch. MS Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition recognized hardware and install its drivers - there is no cross or question mark next to the Atheros AR5001X + Wireless Network Adapter in Device Manager. However the connection of wireless network manager tells me that there is no current wireless network card. When pressing Fn + F8 a window appears saying that there is no build-in wireless LAN.

    What should I do to activate my mini-PCI Wireless LAN card? If possible, send your suggestions to my email, please!

    Hello

    You must activate the WLan switch on the side of the laptop!
    Additional select the WLAN card properties and check under the Advanced tab.
    There should be an option called turn on/off the Radio. You will need to fix on.

  • Satellite P10-304 - the card WiFi mini pci can add?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P10-304.
    I would like to add a mini PCI Wireless.
    Can someone tell me one would suit this machine.

    Thank you

    Do you see black and white antennas near the Mini PCI Slot?

    If this isn't the case, then you can not install a Wifi card. He won't get any reception. You get a USB Wifi instead.

    If you have the antenna, Intel 802.11bg card (2200BG) should work. http://www.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/pro2200bg/

    Its a good idea to buy the card from Toshiba (via an ASP) since the Wifi card can be modified to work correctly in the P10.
    If you buy a generic MiniPCI Wifi card, he can switch Wifi does not work properly.

  • Mini Card PCI in Satellite Pro A10

    Hi all

    I bought a Wirless LAN (PA3236U-1MPC) card Kit for my SP A10. The site says it's compatible, but there are no instructions included for the A10. I have worked on where the mini-pci slot has been installed and the antennas.

    I installed the drivers from the Web site (the only ones who have been accepted into the list of the drivers for my laptop were the ones - the Toshiba Atheros who do not work). But it does not find my network.

    The switch on the fron is enabled and the little orange light is on?

    Is there something I forgot to do? They are the right drivers?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If your device comes preinstalled with restore CD there are two drivers included (Atheros and Toshiba) and both cards can be recognized and installed correctly. I don't know, but your card must be Toshiba card. The right driver you need for this is Toshiba Wireless LAN Driver V7.62.0.390.

    Connect the White hand and black cable to THE and try again. Also check if the card is activated by using the FN + F8 key combination.

  • Conflict PCI network Satellite Pro L10 controller

    Hey
    If anyone has had this problem or knows how to sort?

    Controller network PCI on motherboard bus: 02, device: 04, function: 00

    sound on a Tosh satellite pro L10
    I would really be steered in the right direction on this one that Ive looked on the net and nothing can not know

    Basically, when the laptop is turned on or restarted, when it doesn't the POST I get an error:
    Resource conflict - PCI on motherboard bus network controller: 02, device: 04, function: 00 and i must press either F1 to continue or F2 to go into Setup/bios, but the bios is this bloody basic that you can't change anything

    Thank you

    Tim

    Hello

    You have an IRQ conflict in the BIOS. You need to reset the default values. Otherwise, start the laptop and got the Device Manager.
    There, you must uninstall the WLan driver and LAN driver.

    After restarting again, you must install the two drivers again.

    If it doesn't, use the Toshiba Recovery CD!
    All your problems should have.

  • Satellite Pro A40 - mini PCI card installation problems

    I hope someone can help.

    I installed an Atheros ar5005gs - askey AR5BMB5 - PA3416U-1MPC, but he just repeat myself DO NOT CONNECT. I have tried wireless zero config but that does not work.

  • Do not connect WiFi always on my Satellite Pro P300-19 q

    Please help me... Please!

    I just got my new replacement P300-19 q after my previous had a defect on the keyboard AND the WiFi. My question remains however, WiFi is not connecting. OK, this isn't quite true, some how it connected last night after the service to Tiscali customer helped me Yes anf it is lit on the front of the unit. Tonight... no luck! I really think it's to do with the Toshiba ConFigFree software.

    Can please please please (on bent knees) anyone help?

    AFAIK ConfigFree is just surveillance and setting up a Wi - Fi connection software you probably use Windows settings.
    You can remove ConfigFree system and check if the WLAN connectivity will work better.
    Please test and send feedback.

    Also try restarting your router.

  • Satellite Pro A40 - Atheros WiFi card can't find any network

    Looking to correspond with anyone who did it successfully this device works. I repeatedly got messages that the system cannot find any network. With my PCMCIA card, wireless works perfectly.

    Advice requested

    Hey Buddy,

    What is your WiFi card listed correctly in the Device Manager? Perhaps only the driver must be reinstalled and then you can use the internal WiFi card again. Here you can download the latest drivers:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    By the way: what OS are you using? If you install OS preinstalled Toshiba using the Toshiba recovery disc are all the drivers already installed, and you should be able to use the internal WiFi card.
