Re: Satellite L100-179. impossible to activate the new WLan card inserted

Hi all

I bought a computer laptop satellite L100-179 wireless about 2.5 years ago.
Last week I bought an Inter (R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection, this is an internal card!

I installed the card and the latest drivers and the card worked properly under Device Manager
When I tried to use the card after setting the wireless settings, I started to have problems.

I then installed the software for the card help with the problem which has been the software Intel(r) PROSet/Wireless WiFi 12.1.2.0 that gave me a little more information about the problem. All the settings for the wifi are enabled except when I press Fn + F8 I get the following message:

Wireless communication is disabled. Please turn on the wireless switch.

But there is no switch on the side of the laptop just a plug of cache.
I've ran out of ideas to get this working and would be really grateful for the help.
My OS is XP home SP3.

Hello

I think that your Sat L100-179 is not extensible WLan.
If this laptop has been delivered without the WLan card and the WLan switch does not exist, then you cannot use an internal WLan card!

In this case, go to an external solution such as a USB WiFi key for example

  • Satellite L100 - update Intel 3945ABG to 4965 AGN WLAN card?

    I would like to know if in a Satellite L100 is possible to change the 4965AGN wireless card for a 3945ABG or there may be problems or incompatibilities with the motherboard chipset which is a GM GM i945.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Why you want to upgrade the WLAN card?

    To use the draft N standard, I must say that you need 3 antennas. If you must check first if your laptop is equipped with 3 antennas already or not. Otherwise it of not possible to use the draft N standard.

  • Satellite L650 - 1 M 0: could not activate the new wireless card

    Hello

    I replaced the wireless card in the laptop on WiFi + BT (Combo). New brand of laptop do not had favor of BT
    Bluetooth and WiFi work correctly on the system drivers that the system itself.

    The only problem with the new adapter is unable to activate or disable the network modules.
    Since my laptop does not support default BT will automatically turn off the controller module.

    WiFi must be turned off and as in the previous card - a function key. Unfortunately, wireless in the function bar option has disappeared, and the FN + F8 key combination does nothing. Responsible for the light WiFi is on all the time.

    It is possible to activate the WiFi module as before?
    Very please help!

    Laptop: TOSHIBA L650 1 M 0
    The new network adapter: BCM94313HMGB

    Sorry for my bad English.
    I used the Google Translator because I can't speak English. Only the Polish language ;)

    > Is it possible to activate the WiFi module as before?

    You have replaced the WLan module, which means that the hardware configuration has been changed. This means that the different module has affected the functionality of the software.

    The new WLan/BT BCM94313HMGB combo card seems to be designed by Broadcom.
    Of my knowledge that supports most of the laptops Toshiba Intel / modules Realtek or Atheros. This is why I think there may be a compatibility problem between the FN key software and this module.

    Maybe you can try to install the Broadcom driver once more to check if this can help, if not you will have to renounce that.

    Hello

    This device is a good old classic. As far as I know that it s about 10 years.
    It was delivered with the Win95 and Win98.
    Well, I can't give you a solution to your problem because this unit is too old.
    You'll be a man of luck even if someone here in the forum knows an answer to your problem. All I can suggest is to check the BIOS. Maybe that here you can activate or change it in addition the battery settings.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro P300 - impossible to activate the built-in microphone

    I bought a Satellite Pro P300 some 2 months and so far so good.

    It has a webcam which I really thought that I would have any use for it but now find that I have.

    The camera works fine but I cannot activate the built-in microphone.

    Can someone point me in the right direction please

    Hello

    You will need to start the webcam software if you want to use the internal microphone too.
    The point is that the internal MIC is connected with the internal webcam and webcam software handles both devices.
    Also check if the internal mic has been correctly enabled in the webcamsoftware

    In addition, I would recommend updating the audio driver.

  • Satellite L505-13F - impossible to activate the wireless connection

    Hello, I have connectivity problems with my Satellite L505-13F.

    I can't turn on the wireless connection. I press Fn + F8 and nothing happens. The indicator at the bottom of the laptom turns on.

    I though this would be a problem with the drivers. I downloaded realtek wlan driver here [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads], but it has not installed correctly. Then I used the toshiba software installer, but yet again, nothing has changed. I have Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    Device management, I have seen that I installed a wifi driver. (Realtek RTL8191SE Wirelless Lan...) So, what the problem is?

    Any suggestions?

    Hey,.

    Something happens if you press other keys FN or FN + F8 doesn't work only? Normally with this key combination you can enable/disable wireless network card.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know what happens if you are looking for WLAN networks. You see your WLAN router?

    If all the keys FN n t work, reinstall the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards. Otherwise, it could be another problem and you should reinstall the driver again and make sure the firewall isn't blocking the connection.

  • Impossible to activate the new installation of Windows 7

    I've done several installs clean on this computer without problem. This time, I'm unable to activate my copy of Windows 7

    Description: The activation server determined that the specific product key could not be used.
    James

    After windows has been activated on the internet a few times, he trips a switch and requires activation by telephone - the switch is reset, as I understand it.

    If you have the habit of frequently reinstall, your best option is to take an image of the system the system completely installed and updated before you do anything with him-, and then reinstall the. This avoids the necessities of activation, update and reconfiguration.

    Maybe you´ve downloaded a version of Vista, and you have XP. It would be useful and enjoyable if say you what system you have.

    Alternatively, you can visit this site:

  • Satellite L100-179 sometimes short, sometimes does not

    Hello.

    My Satellite L100-179 is around the age of 9 months. A month after buying it is quite dead. Returned, and they replaced the card mother and keyboard. 4 months ago it does the same thing, but I left it for a day and she starts without a problem.

    Same thing happened this morning. Totally dead, so I disconnected and removed the battery. He tried again, but nothing helps. Then I put the battery and the socket and left for 20 minutes. It has sprung to life again.

    What happens here? Someone had the same problem? What is the cause for this? Maybe a faulty motherboard? The warranty runs out in 3 months so I would like to know if this is a major flaw.

    See you soon.

    Hello

    > What's happening here? Someone had the same problem? What is the cause for this? Maybe a faulty motherboard?

    Believe me, we can only speculate on the fault.
    But I'm sure that this is certainly not normal behavior and I definitely recommend the service guys asking for additional verification.

    Who knows what will happen in the next time. Maybe the laptop no longer starts? I this would not risk and would take the warranty!

  • Satellite L100-179: "without W/L' mean?

    Hello

    bought a Satellite L100-179 in 2006 and is not really used.

    When we bought it we thought it had WiFi built in.
    On the bottom of it on a sticker, it says the following

    LAN MAC: 0016xxxxxxxxxx then a bar code and under this, Lan Wireless: free W/L

    Can someone explain this for me and what it means.

    I have the impression that it was built in WiFi.
    So I need a wireless card.

    Someone at - it suggestions. I know the Belkin we have for another laptop is useless.

    The Belkin will resume only in half the intensity of the signal than my Dell with built in WiFi.

    Thanks for any help

    Hi mate

    That means Lan Wireless: W/L means?

    It of very simple, this means without WLan, which means that the WLan card is not installed on this notebook.

    The LAN MAC: xxxxxx is the MAC address of the network card. It s an identification code.
