ENVY 15 j040el (Italy): replacement/upgrade for RALINK RT 3290 wifi adapter

My RT 3290 RALINK wifi adapter supplied with HP ENVY 15 Notebook j040el (bought in Italy in 2013) has stopped working.  I got to know of it when all of a sudden I couldn't access the internet more but my Tablet worked fine, so no fault of my ISP.   Fortunately I had at hand a USB wifi adapter to my office, and in him reconnect the wifi was back.  So my RALINK RT 3290 went for sure. Unfortunately, my warranty expired last year, and I can't ask for a free replacement of HP.   There is no RALINK RT 3290 on Amazon Italy.   I've seen a few complaints about the RALINK RT 3290 performance on the forum.

1 can one suggest a good compatible replacement or upgrade?

2 HP suggest a compatible replacement? How? Where?

Laptop model: HP ENVY 15 j040el

Country: Italy

OS: Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Processor: Intel core i7-4700MQ, 2.40 gHz

RAM: 12 GB

HARD drive: 1 TB

Warranty: due September 2014.

The module that I suggested is compatible. It is the same physical size and has 2 antenna connectors it will be a matter of popping the old and jump into the new and replace the son, and then to load the driver. I don't know how you burn a wifi card but I mean it is also dual-band 2.4 and 5 ghz 7260 AC if that is a problem for you maybe, my advice would be different.

2 x 2 vs 1 x 1 designates the number of streams from radio to the card. 2 x 2 is better.

  • Pavilion 17-e101sv: replacement of HP Pavilion 17-e101sv WiFi adapter

    Hello

    I recently had problems with the wifi adapter that comes with my laptop model (Ralink RT3290LE) and found out that it is a problem if your modem/router is a Cisco which is what my ISP provides. In the end, I bought my own router and was able to connect to the internet.

    I want o avoid such problems in the future and I would like to know what kind of replacement I can get to my lapto compatible and also if there is a compatible wifi adapter that also has the AC network with b/g/n.

    Thank you in advance!

    This will work:

    He says is not compatible with the HP, but that applies to the slightly older models who had still a wifi whitelist your BIOS does not work. We had a few experiences here in the Forum and showed that the white list has disappeared since before that your laptop has been made.

    That said, you can do the upgrade, you can see how to do it. See page 52 of the manual here:

    No worries.

    This should be the driver that you need. It's a Broadcom wireless adapter.

  • S205 Lenovo with RaLink 3090 series wifi adapter problems - update driver 3.2.1 solve?

    Hello.

    I just got the Lenovo S205 with RaLink 3090 series wifi card and had a steady decline until I downloaded the Version 3.2.1 update which was included in the link for the 309 X (X being 0 for me for my wifi card) software/drivers on RaLink site, under the Help menu.

    Go to ralinktech.com and go to Support > downloads > Windows and you will see a list of several RaLink devices which include the adapter X 309. I chose to download/install the full utility with the driver. I remember well, it may be more 28 megabytes.

    I hope it works for you!

    Update:

    I uninstalled the RaLink wireless utility that came with the 3.2.1 pilot, but it uninstalled the driver too. Then I reinstalled and activated the option "install driver only", went into the control panel > hardware and audio > Device Manager > network adapters >

    RALink RT3090 802.11n WiFi adapter > double-click to open the properties > power management tab > uncheck "allow this computer to turn off device to save energy ', 'OK', close and restart programs.

    So when I start or wake the system from sleep, I click the Wireless connections icon in the lower right (next), bar and then click on the link that I want to connect, and then click 'Connect' While it takes 8 seconds to connect, it is worth MUCH more that to have the connection drop constantly, and I probably reboot my system only once when he didn't to reconnect out of a State of sleep.

    I had a MUCH more homogeneous behaviour since this change, and I hope it works well for you too!

  • HP 6005 Pro SFF: Replace video card ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics upgrade for HP 6005 Pro SFF

    I have a HP 6005 Pro SFF with a 240W PS, and I want to upgrade the video card.  It has an ATI Radeon HD 4200.    An HP Forum person (Paul Tikkanen) recommended an upgrade for a 6005 using a video card optional for the HP 6200 Pro SFF:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814121439&cm_re=hd_6450-_-14-121-439-_-product

    Please confirm it also works for the 6005.  If I replace it, can I actually remove the Radeon 4200 and replace it directly at the space of the same card mother slot to save space of PCI Expansion slot, or do I use the expansion PCI Express 16 x slot?   If so, is the procedure for the direct replacement documented anywhere?

    Hello:

    The ATI Radeon HD 4200 Video on your PC is the graphics chip integrated according to page 14 of the quickspecs at the link below. In other words, the graphics card is a chip that is soldered to the motherboard.  It is not in an expansion slot.

    http://static.highspeedbackbone.NET/PDF/HP%20Compaq%206005%20PRO%20Business%20pc%20Quick%20Specs.PDF

    The dedicated PCI express x 16 slot should be empty now, and this is where you install the card I have recommended.

    I don't see why the HD 6450 work.  It works in the dc7800, dc7900, Pro 6000, 6200 pro, 8000 Elite, Elite 8100 and 8200 Elite business desktop PC.

    You just need to make sure that uninstall you the HD 4200 graphics card and the driver in Device Manager.  Also check the uninstalling the driver box.

    Also uninstall catalyst control center software in the Add/Remove programs in the control panel section, stop and disconnect the PC, install your new video card and the driver for the 6450.

    Here is the link to the service manual. See Chapter 2 pp 20-25 for the installation procedures card expansion, paying special attention to the info of PCIe x 16 slot.

    Currently I have the graphics nvidia Gforce740M - 2 GB but its still slow for a few games, so I want to replace by GTX 780 m coming 780Ti GTX 4 GB or 4 GB. Is it possible?  one more I can improve memory 16 gb?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, the nvidia gpu is integrated with the system board and is not an evolutionary element.

    Your laptop will support a maximum of 16 GB of ram (2 x 8 GB modules) - you can find an example of an upgrade on the following link.

  • HP Envy Notebook m6-1125dx: no problems with the HP Envy m6 at 10 Windows upgrade?

    I plan the upgrade of Windows 10 of my HP ENVY m6-1125dx Notebook PC (Intel Core i5 - 3210M CPU) and need to know if this computer will be compatible with Windows 10. Because the HP support Web site now requires a scanning system to report on the drivers available, I have no way of knowing if there are any drivers Windows 10 available (or if they are still required). I thought that maybe I could send an e-mail or chat with HP to see what they have to say, but they want $60 to answer a question!

    Please let know us if anyone has experience (good or bad) with 10 of Windows upgrade for th want m6.

    Hüffer,

    Just an update... I followed your advice and installed upgrading on-site instead of clean, and everything seems to work fine. The only real glitch, I met was the trackpad settings have been changed which because of many problems, but I could attack while going in the Synaptics Control Panel and reset everything to the way I like them.

    Thanks again for the help and I'll review it "resolved".

  • HP envy 15-j140na: maintenance of fan for a hp envy 15

    Hello.

    I am the owner of a HP Envy 15-j140na and wonder about the maintenance of my computer, I had the laptop for over a year and the warrinty has expiered, unfortonatly is when defects and problems begin to occoure in my computer, like the fan. The first thing I would like to talk about is what to do if something is stuck in the box fan that I hear a ratteling in this area as well as the sound of a small object occasonal felt road by the fan. The second is the progressive of dust in the computer collection as it's notable vagually because of me constantly on the road with my laptop,

    Some advice for what would be good.

    Summary: to the fan in laptop, done occasonal noise, dust problems?

    Notes; object can be in the position where he is sucked to the fan only to be hit by far later.

    @Fellx

    Taking into account of the laptop is no longer under warranty - and that you are interested in taking on the task of opening the box - then you can take a look at the Guide of Serviceand then decide your best course of action.

    Section: Removal and replacement procedures preliminary requirements

    Chapter 4, Page 34

    Section: Removal and replacement procedures for parts of service provider approved > Fan

    Chapter 6, Page 62

    Fan of repairs and repairs of this type in general, are not generally prohibitive compared to some other things that can happen.  Repair times, assuming that nothing else is wrong, definitely not months.  I should wait a few days, if that, would be required to complete single fan related repairs.  Of course, if something is wrong, the cost and the time required to complete the repair could change.

    I do not recommend, or I say otherwise, that you should or should not try to fix it yourself.  It is entirely your decision based on your skill set, your level of interest in the task once and your determination to avoid that the work done by a reliable repair home.

    Avoid the sprays of chemicals - compressed air is not always just air.  Read the label before applying any substance to your computer.

    Good luck.

  • HP Envy 5530: HP Envy 5530 told to replace the color cartridge, even after replacing with a new one.

    HP Envy 5530 said to replace the color cartridge, even after replacing with a new one.  Printer is 1 year old and I replaced the cartridges several times over the past year.  I am enrolled in the program of HP ink.  I can run the printer mode single cartridge using a black ink only and it works with my pc XP, Ipad, Chrome pc and mobile phone.  My pc win 8.1 will not print anything other than a test page.  Printer on the pc file lists always attention required when you try to print from the pc win 8.1.  I believe that the problem may be related to surface of cartridge for printing inside the HP envy heads 5530.  This part is available for purchase, and if so, where?

    I found a work around.  On the pc win 8.1, it seems that the print request must see a reset of the HP envy 5530 to print mode single cartridge.  I just start the pc and then reset the printer by lifting the hatch for the print heads.  That's all.  Once this is done, the 'attention required' message goes to the loan and it is able to print.  It will open a window, which suggests you add the color cartridge, but it will disappear when printing.  Simply open the door once and you can print until you turn off the pc.

  • Replacement battery for HP DV6 7028TX (batteries to shoot) - and a comment on Msata

    Hi all, how are you?

    I need a replacement battery for my laptop (DV6-7028TX) and online there are several places that offer, "Pull on batteries", which are basically ripped off a new computer laptop, as the name suggests and is much less expensive. Does anyone have any experience with these? And they are all good?

    On the topic of hardware upgrades and replacements, for those of you who may have a hp dv6-7028tx, while doing some maintence on this, I spotted an msata slot, (which is empty as stock on this model), to which i added a kingston ssd 60 GB Msata and got the Intels Rapid Storage Technology running. who uses the ssd as a cache for the HARD drive. And staff of his lightning quick with start-up experience and all my regular programs. So, if you have a slot msata and can run Intels RST, I definitely recommend get it! well worth the $75 to the ssd. It feels like a new laptop.

    I apologize me a bit off-topic, here is the link for batteries

    Let me know what you savvy people of this, thank you!

    And thank you Mrstenter for this info, but it wasn't the answer I was looking for.

    I advanced and bought 'New battery pull' for $27, and it works well. only 6 cycles and 96% of its capacity. for less than $30, when hp will sell them for $139.00, its really good value!

    The link posted in my first comment, was the battery that I bought.

    In conclusion, regarding the new traction batteries-it works and is well worth the money! (Provide its from a reliable seller.)

    See you soon!

    OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

    An OEM license is not transferable.

    And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.

    There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...

    You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.
