How to turn on a wireless network card on a Satellite 3000 514 without hardware switch?

I have a 3000-514 Satellite. This laptop has an internal mini PCI slot. Recently, I bought an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG wireless mini PCI card.

The drivers have been installed correctly. The computer has detected the card and the condition of the equipment indicates that the device is functioning properly. However, a message appears indicating that the radio is turned off and must be turned on by the switch hardware. It seems not to be possible to activate the card without the switch...

See the corresponding page in the Intel support:
http://www.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/sb/CS-020275.htm

Now, the problem is that the laptop Satellite 3000 514 has quite such a material change.

Does anyone have an idea what to do?

Hello

If the switch is not available then it of not possible to pass the card ;(
It seems that the camera is not minPCI scalable WLan!

In this case, he must use an external solution such as a USB WiFi key or card PCMCIA WLan

  • Satellite A30-104: WLan not available - I turn on the wireless network card

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A30-104 with an inprocomm ipn2220 built in wireless card. The problem I'm having is that when I get a network says its not available and asks me to turn it on.

    The driver is installed for the card, the switch for the wireless is set on you and I pressed FN & F8 and yet led remains off and nothing happens.
    I watched autour and seen that some people cover the terminals 11 and 13 and it works but not too sure.

    I also should this problem with a new card or is there a way to fix this?

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello

    I guess that you upgraded the wireless lan card later, didn t you? I know that 11 + 13 pins hint and it worked, but after awhile the card did not and the connection quality was so poor that I bought a card atheros on ebay and this card works really well. So I suggest that you are looking for a card atheros on ebay and to install such card in your system since the cards are known to work properly in the toshiba machines.

  • Wireless network card cannot be turned on

    I have a Gateway t-6330u that I recently had to reformat the hard drive and when Vista was reinstalled the driver for the wireless network adapter was missing. I downloaded the correct driver for it, but now Windows fails to activate the wireless network card. The hardware switch is turned on, but in the windows Mobility Center, it won't let me turn on the wireless network card. I tried to repair it with the windows network diagnostics, but it is also unable to turn on wireless networks. Then he told me he tried a repair but the problem persists. After trying a few times he gives up and tells me to contact my network administrator. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi adht450,

    This problem can occur because of an older version of the driver that you need to update.

    Click Start> type in Device Manager in the start search > expand NICs in Device Manager > right click of network card > click Properties> click on Driver tab > click on update drivers> click OK.

    You can view the following link to update the drivers:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    You may need to look into the security WPA and WPA2 keys, you will probably need to change this.

  • If the Office don't not have a wireless network card, how can I go on installation/download/that it is better to get?

    I installed a router (Cisco Linksys Wireless - N GigabitRouter) wireless to my laptop and now I'm trying to connect a desktop (Windows Vista) computer to the network, but he tells me that he doesn't have a wireless network card. How should I do to install a / if can be downloaded, where? and what is the best?

    You must either install a wireless card to the desktop or to get a wireless adapter that fits into a USB port. Here are the Linksys products, you could use http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/products/linksys-adapters_stcVVcatId552067VVviewcat.htm?icid=home_linksys_adapter_all&src2=home_linksys_adapter_all

    If the office is reasonably close to the router and you can connect a cable to it, wired Ethernet would be less of a hassle.

  • Satellite A100-529: How can I enable the wireless network adapter

    Hi all!

    I'm new here, but I want to know how can I activate the wireless network device. On my Toshiba Satellite A100-529 keyboard is a Fn key that must be pressed with the F8 key to turn on the wireless network device. I did, but it does not work.

    What can I do to turn on my wireless device?
    Thank you!

    You are right. The FN + F8 key combination should be used to switch to the WLan card.

    But look, man. Have you checked if your laptop supports wireless network card?
    I think it does not support the minPCI wireless network card and the card does not exist!

    That's why the WLan card cannot be activated :) you know ;)

  • My wireless network card does not work! (Computer HP laptop, 2000;) Win7 Home Premium 64-bit)

    (1) did you check that you have not turned off accidentally any possible hardware switch?

    (2) have you checked that the correct drivers are installed?

  • Satellite Pro A40 fell on the wireless network card; Damaged PCMCIA slot

    This morning my Satellite Pro A40 (Celeron 2.6) fell 40 cm. He fell right on the wireless network card that has been inserted. This card is still alive and so is the rest of the laptop, but the PCMCIA location is little damaged. I can insert PC cards almost completely, just the last piece (when the pins are) wrong.

    I removed the cover near the CPU, and there, I could see the inside PCMCIA slot; I could see the main part and the last part where the pins are. That little part as is pushed upward, as you can see in the pictures.

    I think I'd be able to fix myself this PCMCIA slot, but I can't remove it. I removed all the screws on the rear plate, but he is still blocked.

    Pics:

    PCMCIA slot

    The PCMCIA location; on the left, you will see the part with the pins, which is pushed upward. It's also what I see when I look at the pins in the PCMCIA slot. as they are pushed down, but I don't think they are folded.

    Wireless network card

    Wireless network card; It is a little damaged but it still works.

    Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the back plate, or another way to remove the PCMCIA slot and fix it?

    Hi Steve

    Well, I can give t well you not answer how you can just remove the PCMCIA slot.
    There are a lot of screws and to my knowledge, it is necessary to remove all covers and screws that are placed at the bottom of the unit and inside under the keyboard.
    Please check this specific device. Perhaps you have overlooked a few screws.

    But if it is impossible to remove the PCMCIA slot of the unit, I recommend to ask the service partner for a detailed instruction.

    Good luck

    Good bye

    I installed XP and I ve problem with WLAN. Before I've used Vista and was ok :)
    I got the driver for RTL8187b of

    The Atheros driver can be found here:

    Can someone write me step by step how this fix.

    Please help me and sorry for my English :)

    > Also may try to reinstall the drivers that appear in this web site, appear here the Atheros drivers your need of portable.

    Your computer laptop doesn t support card Atheros, but card Realtek WLan.

    > In Device Manager, everything is ok, but I can't connect.
    As you say the WLan card is recognized correctly, but you can't connect.
    Why?

    I m do not know why, but you should check first if your WLan router uses the same standard WLan (802.11 A, B or G) as the WLan card.
    Check the settings!

    Then check if the right WLan encryption has been selected, check if the Mac address was not enabled, check if the firewall doesn t affect the WLan connectivity.

  • Qosmio X 500 - wireless network card is not recognized

    Hello everyone,

    I have a problem really frustrating with my WI - FI, the thing is that since this morning, my PC can't recognize his wireless network card and it isn't same state that there is a problem with her or anything, it's just like it never existed in the first place! Also the wireless light is still disabled, even if the switch is turned on, it all started this morning, my PC was in mode 'sleep', I lift the screen and the screen goes black with a loud beep and it restarts automatically, so no WI - FI more!

    I tried to restore about three days, but nothing has changed, so I tried to reinstall the driver wlan everywhere, but the installation does not start even, as if he says 'there is no card wlan here for a driver to install... "
    I'm sorry for the long 'report', but really, I'm out of my mind! Help, please!

    Can you please tell us more about status of WLAN card?
    Card WLAN recognized and listed correctly in the Device Manager?

    Make sure that the WLAN switch is in position and try to use the FN + F8 key combination to activate the wireless network card. What happen when you try to do this?
