Lenovo Mini PCI-E Slot P500 locations?

Hello

Happy holidays ~! Hope everyone is having a great time.

I need help to determine if the Z500/P500 manual material actually told the truth or not.
According to page 27 of the manual of the equipment to the Z500/P500 Ideapad, there are 2 Mini PCI-Express slots:

"PCI Express Mini Card Slot: Slot 2.

That means actually? To me, it sounds like there are 2 mini PCI-Express slots somewhere on the motherboard, but when I opened it upward, I only found one, and it was taken over by the Wi - Fi card. I looked under the slot where the Wi - Fi card has been, but I couldn't find another location.

Can someone tell me where is the second Mini PCI-Express slot? I looked carefully through the motherboard, but I couldn't find the other - I hope it was just because I haven't looked hard enough.

Assistance specialists have an answer?

Thank you very much for your time and once again, happy holidays!

-Zoey

Hi Zoey

It is confirmed that the computer that you have only 1 location but this machine could be found also with two slots as the Z500

Thank you

  • The NB305 has a mini PCI-E slot?

    Hello
    I have a NB305 (PLL3AA-01E009), I have purchased from HN about 3 months ago.

    I just read with interest on Whirlpool where a guy pulled apart his Aircard 880U and adapted from the mini pci-e card in his laptop computer "Dell".

    As my NB305 has a light for WWAN (at the front), but no hardware, I wonder if she has the pci - e slot, where I too may be able to adapt this card?

    I checked the specifications and is no pci-e slot - but the light on the front gives me hope!

    See you soon,.
    Rick

    The light in the front doesn't say much. Loan of equipment (slot, antenna) and compatibility is important.
    If I understand you well this guy that write you about has probably changed his address. What you want to change on your laptop?

    If you want to use the AirCard 880U USB version of this card check card.

  • HP ENVY 15-j052nr TouchSmart: Question Mini PCI-E Slot

    Hi, here is my problem: I replaced with an external GPU adapter wireless LAN module, I thought that the port Mini PCI-E free, my laptop was able to detect this new GPU adapter, but turns out he didn't, only the Wifi Slot detects it

    I can still use the Ethernet port for internet, but I don't want to lose my wifi connection then the questions are:

    This supplement Mini PCI - E port is really a Mini Port PCI - E or is it just a reserved port SSD? they have all both has the same appearance
    If so, is there any adapter out there that can allow me to use this Mini PCI - E instead of just normal port port of SSD?
    If the awnser is NO, then is there any WiFi Module that would work in this port? (I tried to install my WiFi Module in port said, but the system could not detect it)

    Here you can see the two ports

    I would bet dollars to donuts against this thing work and still think you run a risk of damage to the laptop. The wi - fi connection port is a 1 x pci-e card and video it wants at least a 8 x lane. But if you are happy with it so I am.

    Oh and the port of the WSSD is a unique single-purpose storage connector that you discovered. You will need to get a usb wifi dongle.

  • What to do with free mini PCIe - Flash for the swap file

    Hello

    in my T500, there is a free mini near the location of SIM location PCIe, but that's only half of length. I found an SSD at SuperTalent in these Dimensions. Someone out there who has tried to use this slot for storage, for example $TEMP or swap file?

    Kind regards

    Ronny

    It will not work. This SSD is designed for the Dell Mini 9, which uses a special type of mini PCI-e slot [FLASH_CON]. This slot machine is connected to a PATA or SATA controller on the motherboard.

    The DSS will not work on PCI-e standard minis housing because they are not connected to a PATA or SATA controller.

    I think that half height mini PCI-e slot is used for Intel Turbo Memory.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02497785

    I want to add an external graphics card and it is possible olnly via PCI Express slot or a slot express card, and this model does not have an express card slot.

    I also discovered the mantanence and service guidehttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us & lc = in & product = 4308465 this type of models support bluetooth module, since my laptop doesn't have a bluetooth, is it possible that the PCI Express slot for the bluetooth module is empty.

    And I would like to know if it is possible for me to add an external graphics card or I need to change the graphc card that comes with this laptop?

    There is no way to change or supplement the graphics system. I've seen the videos floating around devices of Frankenstein connected to the card slot wireless with the back cover open and then a powered external Bay with a standard desktop video card. Trying to put something like that will almost surely fry the motherboard, or at best will not perform very well. The mini pci-e slot for the wireless card is a 1 x pci-e bandwidth and video cards require 8 x bandwidth. So if you want to access a pci-e slot, you will need to remove the wireless card. Bluetooth on this model is made by a card in combination with the wireless.

    Your laptop doesn't have an expresscard slot, as you acknowledge. They are available only on business models high end of our days, and the same limitations apply to have an external videocard connected through an expresscard slot.

    You can change the motherboard of your laptop. You have a version with the Intel HD graphics only, and I'm sure that other versions of the series dv6-3000 used best graphics systems. You seek to a significant investment in time and money for it. Post back, however, if you want to just give it a shot and we can track down numbers of specific parts and manuals of instructions or videos for you.

  • Wireless Mini-PCI card does not work after installing it in socket

    I discuss this issue with other friends, they told me that there must be something in the BIOS and activiate/deactiviate the wireless, but I can't find anything related to map wireless in BIOS?
    For this I need your help
    Concerning

    Hi guys,.

    THX starbucks for the post, but I must correct you:

    As the wireless card in the mini-pci card slot is the only one, there is NO onboard wireless card. So it can't be anything to be disabled except the pci socket.
    And regarding the problem: perhaps the card is not compatible with this machine. I suggest to buy a card based on the atheros chipset because they are known to work VERY well (in fact they work) in almost all brands without bigger problems and they do in computers laptop toshiba.

    If the card was not recognized then another card must be installed-> atheros and not INTEL chipset

  • Satellite Pro M10 - location of the mini-pci slot?

    Hello

    I have a M10 Pro of the Satellite with a mini-PCI Intel Pro 2100. Now, I wanted to put in a new card, but I can't find the mini-pci slot? I opened all the way down, but there nothing. Where is it located and what is the best way to open the laptop? I guess a lot of screws must come out...

    Hello

    Well, as far as I know the mini-PCI card is under the keyboard. In this case, you will need to remove the unit covers. But if you open Notepad, you will lose the warranty.
    In my opinion, you should contact the ASP for help and detailed descriptions.

    Good bye

  • Location of the Mini PCI Slot on Satellite P10

    Hi - I have a portable series of P10, PSP10E-0RCJM-EN.

    It is initially provided without an internal WIFI card but a swith and LED indicator.

    I hope to fit a suitable Mini PCI card.

    I am likely to find that an antenna is already installed?

    That more can someone guide me as to where is the slot mini pci and how to access it please?

    I read the previous posts about the contacts of masking/insulation on the card wifi on this and other forums, so I'm ready for this problem when I get there.

    I hope you can help, impatience of someone soon!

    Hello

    The wireless network card is an option on this unit. It is possible to switch this unit with the WLan card. The WiFi antenna should already be included in the specifications.
    The WLan pci slot, you will find at the bottom of the unit.
    It s close to the slot of the modem.
    However, I would recommend consultation with the user manual. There you should find more details.

  • R100 mini PCI slot

    Is it possible for me to access the connector MINI PCI on my Portege R100? If so, how is it accessible? I want to upgrade the wireless network card.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I put t know exactly where is the MINI PCI slot. In my opinion, he may be somewhere under the keyboard. I don't really know if it's a good idea that makes you one. This is a very nice and in my opinion very sensitive unit.

    In my opinion, this should be done by professionals. By the way your device supports wireless LAN / Wi - Fi Standard: 802. 11B and Wireless LAN / Wi - Fi Standard: 802. 11 b / g.

  • Satellite L10-204 does support mini PCI slot?

    Hello, all.
    In a first time - sorry for my English ;-)
    I would like to install a wireless card and I don't know if my computer (Toshiba Satellite L10-204) have a mini PCI slot? I prefer the mini PCI card PCMCIA card, because in my opinion, they are better in some aspects.
    DRM for me, cheers!

    Post edited by: bandziorno

    Hmm? ¦ bad news man.
    The wireless card is not available on this laptop and it cannot be upgraded too.
    This means that WLan minPCI slot is not present.

    You will need to switch to an external solution. Maybe an external USB WiFi key is an option for you. If this isn't the case, then you can use the PCMCIA WLan card!

  • S206: Is the slot mini-PCIe for Wi - Fi adapters landlocked in the BIOS?

    Hello

    My good old Ideapad S206 had good enough Wi - Fi problems since I bought it. Basically, the reception is extremely unstable, and it is a problem when the "net" part in "netbook" does not work properly, is it not?

    I tried to date/replace the driver for the card, but I am led to the conclusion that I should try to replace my network card.

    The steps to remove the mini-PCIe card is well documented in the hardware Maintenance Manual, which is really awesome. The map is easy to access, remove and change.

    However, I have a question: is there a form any 'BIOS-lock' on the network cards on this line of netbooks? In other words, I can use any network adapter from mini-PCIe instead of the original one, or is there some kind of white list in the BIOS that prevents the user to install one Wi - Fi card other than the original one? (because if there is a BIOS-lock, there is no point to spend money on another adapter that would still work)

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello!

    Here's a quick Heads up on this subject: I finally decided to take a chance and changed the original network card with an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Plus. I'm happy to say it works like a charm! The reception of the network is much better, and I can get a stable WiFi signal at home, that was impossible before.

    I still don't know if there is a whitelist located anywhere in the BIOS, but what I do know, is that you can replace the factory network card with an Intel mini-PCIe trouble-free model. Useful information for users of Ideapad S206 someday perhaps...

    So, problem solved!
