How to replace the WLan card in Equium A200

My laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 has a Realtek wireless card which apparently is not compatible with Ubuntu.
I bought an Intel 3945ABG card.
From what I understand the card is located under the keyboard on this model.

Does anyone know if the fixing strip can be suspended on or does keep the screws (requiring the withdrawal from the base of the laptop).
I don't want to cause damage by doing the wrong thing.

Thank you very much.

Hmm it of known to me that the keyboard is fixed with 2 or 3 screws. The screws are hidden under the cover of thin plastic.
This plastic cover holding the screws of the keyboard is connected only so you could remove it using a thin object and could extract.

But note buddy you should always be careful and you shouldn't t use a force!

I also have a second opinion; This replacement of WLan Confiez always a technician of the ASP. Why? Because a withdrawal of the keyboard can affect the validity of the warranty!

  • Tecra M4: How to replace the WLAN card

    Hello
    I have a Tecra M4 laptop and want to upgrade my wireless card, is this possible without opening the whole case?
    Most of the NB I know have these cards below the keyboard, or behind a clean cover accessible from the rear. Tried both, found nothing.

    Thanks in advance

    Florian

    Hello Florian

    I fear that you will not be able to Exchange only WLAN card. The WIFI card on this laptop model is placed on site so stupid and laptop must be disassembled. Please be careful if you want to do this alone.

    To be honest you shouldn't do this without maintenance manuals. One small mistake and you can damage the sensitive plastic components inside your laptop.

    Furthermore, this model Tecra a pretty good and quick WLAN card. G standard, if I remember well. I have the same card on my Tecra and data transfer is OK.

    What WLAN card you want to use now?

    Hello I have the Satellite Pro P300 - 13M.

    My sister fell on my UTP cable and so he was taken out by force and because of that "holding-pings" on the front of the port are bent or broken, so whenever I put in a cable with traction slightess or accidental poke I'm new offline...

    I'm out of my warranty period, is it possible to fix this? Can I replace it myself?
    USB network adapters are a viable solution to replace if I can't replace it?

    Help > _

    To resolve this issue, you must replace the motherboard. The network card or a network location is soldered on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

    In addition, it would be not covered by warranty. This isn't a matter of Toshiba, this is caused by the customer.

    However, if you want to repair you must contact an ASP or search you on eBay for a card mother of second hand.

  • Can I replace the WLan on my P750 Pro Satellite card

    I bought my P750 to work on our 5 GHz Wireless (802. 11A / n) single frequency network.

    Although I learned it would work it does not work. It seems that my hardware does not work on the Strip "a".

    My question is maybe replaced card or he is buried in the Pack. If it is built of extermal wireless card can be purchased to do the job?

    Just in case you asked that I read the forums, the updated drivers and activated the "n" on the AdHoc profile advanced for my Atheros AR9002WB-1NG

    Hello

    The wireless network card is connected to the port on the motherboard miniPCI card and it of possible to remove/put the map.

    But there could still be a problems of compatibility between the new device (Wlan-chip) and the BIOS.
    I read here in the forum that someone replaced the Wlan card and finally the laptop didn't start because of compatibility issues between the Wlan and the BIOS.

    So in your case I recommend to use an external Wlan solution.
    The WLAN key is easy to use and should be compatible with most systems.

  • Satellite A100-847 - replacing a WLan card

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100-847. I would change as WIFI card for new with "n" standard.
    I found some tutorials how to proceed, but it was for Toshiba A105, very similar to my only.

    I opened the bottom cover where is memory and modem, but I couldn't see all the PCI ports.
    Is it possible to do?
    Does work through mini-PCI or is integrated on the motherboard?

    Hello

    The A100 PSAA9E supports a minPCI WLan card that supports the IEEE 802 standard. 11a / g WLan standards.
    I m not 100% sure if it would be possible to upgrade the WiFi network with a WLan card 802.11 minPCI n because the two antenna cables.
    You should first clarify if the antenna is compatible with the 802.11 standard new * WLan N standard *.

    The minPCI wireless network card must be hidden under the keyboard. So you'd have to remove the keyboard first to get access to the wireless network card.
    The wireless network card is also connected to two antenna cables. The cables must be removed carefully using a pair of tweezers. Then spread plugs securing the wireless LAN card until the card appears.

    Usually it of not difficult to replace this WLan card but if you have no experience I wouldn t recommend doing this.
    This replacement must be done by a qualified technician!
    In addition you guarantee the validity could be cancelled after these updates.

  • Is satellite A200 - possible to replace the grapchics card?

    Hello!

    I've had my Toshiba A200 - 1 M 8 for two years now and everything was going well until one day, while working on this subject, it is just went down. The arrested LEDs had any, even when not connected to the power supply and the laptop wouldn't start. I checked the habit - power cable bad, trying to see if the leds are gone or the laptop start with and without the battery in. Then I checked if all the cables are connected to the mother board the right way - they were. Know a little of material and to be a student of applied computer science, I thought that the problem was probably with the motherboard or something related to it.

    So, an I unplugged devices connected to the motherboard to see if this allows the flow of power through the Commission. Long story short, it turned out that when I disconnected the graphics card (radeon HD2600 256 MB) the LEDs showed once again, and of course, the laptop started, but only a sound signal once or twice, which is normal when there are essential, as the map, missing. After a further inspection, I found that two blocks of memory on the card have burned completely, which explains why it did not work.

    So now, here's my question: 1. is it possible to buy a replacement directly from Toshiba? If not, how can I specify what I seek, when searching through stores online and how can I check if it would be compatible with my laptop? 2. If it is possible to replace the card, it would be possible to replace with a better model (like hd3470), this means that my laptop would be able to manage the best card and is it still possible to find a better card, mounting my laptop (physically, I mean, it's pretty tight in there: P)?

    Thanks for any helpful answer in advance, if more information is needed to answer my questions, I would be happy to provide it.

    Hello

    (1) an authorized service provider can replace the VGA card to you, directly from Toshiba. There is a list of the ASP on the Toshiba site, in the support section.

    (2) Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the VGA card in most laptops because there is no common standard model, the BIOS is coded to work with a specific VGA card and the cooling system is designed for the dissipation of the heat of this VGA card.
