• New Intel 6300 Wlan card does not work in Satellite P850/49

  Hello

  I recently installed a new wifi card on my laptop in order to give him a dual-band support.

  However, while all goes well in terms of hardware and driver installation, the computer fails to actually use the wifi card and insists on the fact that the card is 'off', even if it is enabled in the Device Manager, the computer recognizes and the computer is not on the airplane mode.

  There is no physical switch on the laptop or the card, the function key does nothing (except the conversion between flight mode and without work), and even diagnostics insist that I need to "activate the wireless feature.

  Help?

  Not great if you want to be able to get this card.
  In many cases new modules and hardware parts don t work because of compatibility issues. Even if the module supports the Mini PCI standard, this means that all card mini PCI Wlan would be compatible. It is a big misunderstanding.

  However, I found some interesting tips on the page of Intel:
  http://www.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/sb/CS-025332.htm

  What you could do is:
  In Control Panel > network and Internet > network connections, right click on the adapter. Check if the adapter can be set to the it.

  Alternatively, you can try to install the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility
  You can enable or disable the wireless radio in the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility main window. The status icon on the main window displays the current state of the radio. In the main window, click on WiFi or WiFi turn off to enable or disable the radio.

  In which case it wouldn't work, I guess that the laptop cannot turn on the wireless network card because of the allocation of the different pins.
  For example, some mini-PCI WLan cards needs to hide the axis 20 (thin strip of electrical tape and it is stuck on the 20 PIN) in order to obtain this permit.
  Google search for mini pcie pin 20 and you will find that you are not the only ones with this problem.

• Re: Satellite Pro A60 - PCMCIA WLAN card does not question CardBus

  I received an A60 to upgrade for a friend and one of the necessary things is a wireless card.

  I got a 32-bit cardbus card but when I insert into the laptop, nothing happens. XP does not recognize, the oo lights do not come on the map.
  First I thought it was a faulty card but I tried other cards and get the same results and I reinstalled XP and all the drivers but nothing.

  I've seen other messages on the change of the mode in the BIOS, but there is no mention of the CardBus in the BIOS.
  The laptop uses the BIOS version 1.9. I just want to check is there something escapes me or the CardBus location just does not work?

  Hello

  Satellite Pro A60 was equipped with the 32-bit and 16-bit PCMCIA slot that supports PCMCIA card * Type-II * only!

  Have you used the * PCMCIA Type-II card?

  Perhaps you have used is not compatible PCMCIA card, you should check this first!

• Equium A60-156: can I spend it with WLan card?

  Anyone know if I have antennas mounted in my laptop I want to install a mini-PCI Wireless card?
  Ive found the crack but not sure if it has already installed antennas again. No matter what welcome halp. Thank you.

  Hello

  As much as I know WiFi is not available on satellite A60-156
  In this case it should not be possible to upgrade the device with the minPCI wireless network card.
  You can use an 'external' as a USB WiFi key or a PCMCIA WLan card.
  I would prefer the WLAN USB key. It is not expensive and very easy to use.

• How to adjust the video memory on Satellite A100-811

  Hi all

  There, an agency know how to adjust the memory of the video card in the laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-811?
  The physical memory of my laptop is 512 MB, I want to share my 128 MB videocard, nomatter if 384 will remain in my physical memory.

  Your immediate response is much appreciated.

  Thanks in advance
  Jilvir

  Hello

  the Satellite A100 supports an Intel 945GM processor 8MB - 128 MB of graphics memory shared memory, it's true. But
  as far as I know it of not possible to allocate this memory shared manually, it happens automatically.

  If the application running more graphic must map memory then the OS will be automatically increases this value.

  It seems that this laptop came with 512 MB of memory. In my opinion you must upgrade the memory of 1024MB if you want to use the full 128 MB shared memory.

• Satellite Pro U400 - 15 p hangs after enabling the Realtek RTL8187B WLan card

  Hello

  I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite Pro u400 - 15 p. This notebook is originally without any operating system included. I installed Windows XP Home SP3 on it and downloaded all the drivers from the Web from Toshiba website. Everything works well except the WiFi - RTL8187B.

  Driver has been installed correctly, when I turn the WLAN on everything is always OK, but when I connect to a network wireless Windows XP hangs after some time - without notice or BSOD - and the only thing I can do is to restart the PC holding down the button for 5 seconds.

  I have:
  -installed the latest BIOS (v3.70),
  -installed the last version of drivers available (v6.1150.1112.2008)
  -tried how it works on Vista Home Basic - it does not either, but on Vista only connection must be reset.

  I searched on the web (perhaps not all), including this forum, but I was unable to find a solution.
  Now I am seriously considering warranty claim, please help me to avoid that it ;)

  Hello

  It's really strange.
  Are you sure that this happens because of the WLan card activated 100%?
  I mean there could be another reason for this gel

  I'm U400 too and I m running Win XP and Vista without problem!
  At that time, I m using WiFi and everything works ok

  I think it s not a Wlan related question, but there must be another reason why this laptop locks maybe a problem of RAM or something like that.

• Satellite 1400-103: do I need a Wlan switch use a PCMCIA WiFi card

  I have been using broadband through my usb ports on the fixed network and have recently upgraded to wireless router hub to give me the portability. Having realized that my hub router does not come with a pcmcia card or of dongel I am looking to buy a pcmcia (pc card) card.

  My problem is that the laptop will allow wireless comms since there is no wire pass under the floppy drive as described in the manual and on later versions. Do I have this switch or card pcmcia will do everything what I need (there are two slots for cards available and the manual talks about ability CardBus).

  Do I have to worry about the ability of Wireless LAN in my computer or the pcmcia card will do everything?

  Ideally, I would just buy the pcmcia card, plug it in (plugnplay pilots to kick XP) and I won ' t need to do much more.

  Any advice on this would be appreciated before that I have spend £ 20 on a 32-bit pcmcia wireless card.

  concerning

  Andrew

  I agree with chain.
  The minPCI wireless network card is not removable on an easy way and therefore the hardware switch is to enable and disable the WLan functionality in different situations.

  The PCMCIA card is an external card, which can be removed in 2-3 sec.
  The withdrawal of this card will also disable the WLan functionality.
  Accordingly PCMCIA cards don t need the hardware like wireless minPCI network card switch

• New on Satellite Pro 6100 WLAN card installed, but can not be activated

  Hi, just replaced the internal Wireless LAN card on my laptop Satellite Pro 6100. Map of yesterday and today have the same problem: I can't turn them on. They are installed properly and supposed to run in what concerns the XP drivers, but does not detect wireless network andy saying it is "disabled".

  I tried upgrading to the latest version of BIOS
  I reinstalled the latest drivers
  Toshiba network device switch sees only the Intel Pro/100 VE wired, network card, but not the card the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG.
  Direct activation of the Wireles does not produce a said connection disable, enable, trying to connect, but it fails, as if he did not see the network.

  Past and present, wireless card fail to see any network.

  Martin

  Hello Martin

  This model of laptop is quite old and at that time 2200 card was not on the market. I can imagine that there is a compatibility issue.

  I think for older models of laptops, the best solution is the use of a faster but external solution in the form of PCMCIA or USB WLAN card. With the help of these cards you will not have compatibility issues.
  What do you think of this?

• Satellite A100-259 and PCMCIA card reader no longer works

  I have a Satellite A100-259, I've had for about a year with no problems... so far, the PCMCIA card slot reader seems to have stopped working.

  When I insert a card reader SD PCMCIA discover the laptop hardware as a "PCMCIA UNKNOWN_MANUFACTURE' and subsequently can not find the drivers for it. I tried a couple of different PCMCIA devices and get the same question every time, I checked also double the card reader works by trying it in PC laptop Toshiba-not to the woman.

  The PC is a XP/Vista installation start-up duel and I get the same question under each operating system. I also think that it may have started after I installed upgrading the BIOS to 2.20.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, b
  Kind regards.

  Try to access the BIOS and set the defaults.
  Don t forget to save the settings after the change.

  By the way; Are you trying to reinstall the PCMCIA driver?
  Go to the Device Manager and remove the PCMCIA computer location.
  Then restart the laptop and check if Windows detects and installs the removed slot.

  Good luck

• Satellite M50: How change it to fix the external antenna for WLan card

  I want to change my M50, so I can join the onboard wireless card external antenna.

  Anyone know of any modding guides?

  Hello

  What do you do exactly?
  What is name of your Satellite M50 - xxx?

  Usually if the notebook is Wlan ready but there is no Wlan installed if it is possible to use a minPCI wireless network card.
  So if you want to install the Wlan card and attach it to the antenna, you must connect the cables.
  A white cable normally goes to the HAND and a black to the auxiliary voltage

• Satellite C850-108 - WLan card driver for Win 7

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C850-108 and recently it just completely crashed.
  Being stupid I never had chance to create a disc of recovery etc for her.

  I have a friend who sent me a disc to reinstall windows 7.
  However when I did I lost all drivers and that she had to reinstall completely as Iv been discover which ones I need.

  A big problem I had is that when I install the driver for network controller he simply refuses to install saying there is no detected network driver.
  I tried to go to devices and exclamation yellow etc but still doesn t find anything.

  I download many drivers of Toshiba to try to fix it but still the same problem. I can only connect to the internet via Ethernet.
  It's like I don't have a WiFi card.

  I m very confused and frustrated by this, if anyone can help I would appreciate it a lot as this.

  PS I installed using 32 bit, but when I check my serial number it says it is 64-bit. This could be a party if the cause?

  Hello

  As I m wrong not the Satellite C850-108 does support the Realtek RTL8188CE WLan card.
  If you need to install the Realtek WLan driver for chip RTL8188CE.

  You should be able to download the driver directly from the Realtek page:

• Satellite 2430-301: cannot use 2200BG WLan card because the switch is off

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 2430-301, which was not delivered with WLAN functionality. But I discovered, that there is a MiniPCI slot in the laptop.

  So, I bought an Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Minipci card. After that I joined the card in the laptop, it has been detected by windows as a new network device. I downloaded and installed the drivers of Windows XP (because I have Windows XP installed on the laptop) of Intel (9.0.4.17) home page. The installation worked perfectly.

  Now I tried to connect to a wireless network, but the software Intel says that the card is on 'off '. So I changed the menu drop-down on "on", which resulted in a mistake in German: "Die Intel (r) PRO/Wireless-Netzwerkverbindung ist noch deaktiviert.» Aktivieren Sie sie über your Hardware-switch. "(which means something like 'network Intel (r) PRO/Wireless connection is turned off. Turn it on with the hardware switch. »).

  Although the switch was already in position "on", I spent several times - nothing important happened. The led next to the switch will not illuminate in both positions.

  Are there problems of incompatibility between "Toshiba Satellite 2430 301" and "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG?

  I did something wrong?

  Is - this darn broken hardware switch?

  Any suggestions?

  I would be really happy if someone could help me :)

  Thanks in advance,
  Thuriel

  Hello

  The hardware switch led should light up if the switch is on.
  In addition if you want to use the WiFi network you must go to the WLan with FN + F8 option.
  In addition, you must check the WLan card properties in Device Manager. Here, you enter the Advanced tab. In the field of property choose radio power option and select the value to on.

• WLAN card suddenly stops working - Satellite A65-S126

  I have a satellite A65-S126 and one day I started it up and I couldn't get a wireless connection because my wireless adapter (Atheros AR5004G) network I troubleshooted it and it came "10-program Code cannot start". I uninstalled and reinstalled it, nothing happened that I got the same error.
  Does anyone have any help for me?

  Hi Joe

  According to the Microsoft page means that code 10 - cannot start the device (Wlan card). Who could appear if the driver is damaged or / and some registry entries has been modified.

  I put t know how you reinstalled the driver but I would first remove the old driver and then delete the WLan card also of the device Device Manager.
  Then shut down the laptop and after restarting again the operating system should recognize the new device (Wlan card) then you can start the driver installation.

  Maybe this will help you
