Replace the Qualcomm Atheros ar956x in Satellite L50 - B

Hi all

I am wanting to change the existing WiFi card in our Satellite L50 - B (Qualcomm Atheros ar956x) due to the limitation of speed of connection 150 Mbps! We have a router AC and I move 800 Mbps!

I was hoping to use an Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 however the cards seem to be physically different.

Any ideas would be great!

see you soon

Scott

Hello

Found some details about this Intel WLan card on the page of Intel:
http://Ark.Intel.com/products/75439/Intel-dual-band-wireless-AC-7260

+ Board form factor: half a PCIe card Mini / m2 (NGFF).

As far as I know the WLan module that is built into the laptop supports Mini-PCI card format.
So, you have a miniPCI module.
But you should consider BIOS support. Not all wireless network cards could be supported by the BIOS.

  • The Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter adapter has driver - or hardware problems

    It's for my laptop Acer Aspire V3 - 771G who has internet CONNECTION problems. I was able to connect fine until windows 8, now I can only connect using the hard line. I ran a bunch of updates, driver downloads and etc means for this model directly on the Acer website for the upgrade of windows 7 to 8 and I had no chance.  However, this message appears when I try to fix the problems of network adapter "the Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network adapter adapt knows driver - or hardware-related problems".  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I FIXED IT ALL! :) Simply drag or type at the top right of your screen to open the SEARCH option. Research of Control Panel. Click MANAGE the DEVICES.  Now, you can either search for the driver who is broken or defective write his name uninstall, and then reinstall it from the web (recommended to go to page creator ex; atheros was mine so I have downloaded from them.)  If you have no W/LAN driver then go to your website of the laptop manufacturers and find the necessary driver for your model :) I HOPE THIS HAS HELPED!

  • Qualcomm-Atheros AR956x WLan adapt does not not on Windows 10

    Have installed the latest driver for 64-bit windows 10 of Qualcomm-Atheros site. 10.0.0.329 driver version but it does not recognize my home wifi signal, while it did 2 weeks ago. Apparently some 10 windows update is now conflict with this version of the driver? Read a lot of similar problems on various internet and learned there is no solution, so now I have to connect to the internet using a cable. This turns my lap - top in a table. Thanks to Toshiba and Qualcomm Atheros for the * ty support. One of the users have a fix for this problem? Looking forward to your help!

    I have the same problem that started after the latest updates of windows 10, I can get my wifi works by doing a full restore but within hours 10 Windows downloads an update, and wifi is lost again.

    I get online answers but do not yet have a solution so attached to the router wired for internet access.

    Seems to me that Qualcomm Atheros and windows need to come together and find a solution.

  • I want to replace the 40 GB HDD on Satellite M50 130

    I want to replace the hard drive, because it becomes unreliable, but can't fnd the specs.
    Can someone help with the exact specifications please?
    Is the drive IDE or SATA?
    Size = 2.5 inches?

    I think the original size is 40 GB, can I replace it with any size?

    Did the removal and easy replacement? Are there instructions please?
    I have a horrible feeling that there may be data recovery for the operating system on a hidden in the drive partition.

    Is this correct? May only be transferred to a new hard drive?
    Thank you very much

    Satellite M50-130 has been delivered with the 2.5 "60 GB HARD drive.
    This HARD disk supports a rotational speed of 5400 RPM and it supports an improved IDE (ATA 6) interface.

  • How to replace the hard drive internal on Satellite 2450?

    Hello!
    Last month, after a BSOD displayed (I don't have the code of error message, unfortunately) my laptop decided to not work again.
    At the start, he reached the start menu and then displays a black screen... no message, no auto restart... nothing. Just a weird noise coming from the hard drive (like a scratched cd).

    I tried to format the drive, but without success. After choosing the boot source, trying to read the cd and the black screen appears again, with no message. I checked if the Bay of cd is not working properly and it is. (I think)
    So I replaced the HDD in my satellite 2450. A new toshiba ide 2.5 30 GB hard drive. But when I install a new one, the system does not recognize.

    The control panel of the Bios says that "no hard disk" is available, and I can not change this option. (locked)
    With the Windows Xp cd in the drive, the Setup program runs all properly until the 'select drive' format menu, witch says that no hard drive is recognized (with a new drive hard in).

    I don't really know what to do!
    Is something missing in this process?

    Thank you for the patience

    Hello

    The laptop did not recognize a new HARD drive. Which is one reason why Win XP cannot follow the additional installation steps

    I can't say exactly why the HARD drive is not recognized, but the 30 GB IDE should be ok.
    I remember one of my friends had a similar problem with the new HARD drive.
    Some hard drives have a jumper (3.5 HARD drive and 2.5 IDE HARD drive too)
    Maybe you should check if a rider has been set to the right position (slave?).

    Check it otherwise that I recommend to test with another new HARD drive

    In the worst case the disc HARD controller might be faulty, but it would mean replacing a motherboard

  • Windows WiFi 8 HP 2000-2b43dx guard abandon the Qualcomm-Atheros connection

    I just got a laptop HP 2000-2b43dx last month and had no problem with the connection before fall, but here for the past week or so she did it a lot. It starts to get boring, that's why I'm here.

    If I close my laptop and open it again it will be disconnected and I have to reconnect manually even if I have the settings in automatic mode.
    And every now and then it disconnects randomly, and I have to reconnect again. It's really annoying when you try to play a game and you get kicked out of a game because of that.

    I've updated the network driver and the only thing that helped was able to reconnect faster...
    My old laptop has never had this problem and it only recently started to do a few weeks back.

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure on the CD/DVD drive replacement on this laptop, but I assume that the procedure is very similar to other portable players.
    For the most part the ODD is secured with the screw at the bottom of the unit.
    You will need to remove this screw to get out and to swap the drive.

    But be careful and don t there if you have no experience!
    Moreover, not all readers are compatible and supported in reason parameters master/slave/c-salt. If you n t know which drives are compatible you should ask the ASP in your country for advice!

  • Can I replace the hard drive of my Satellite A100?

    I have a Satellite A100 - 033 PSAANE, running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. The hard drive is 60 g. I save almost all of my data to an external hard drive, but nevertheless hard drive eventually won't have enough space for the growing number of programs that I have installed various temporary files, etc.. For example, I would like to install VirtualBox and run XP (Ido have a copy), and Linux and perhaps a few other systems operating within it, but that is likely to consume more of hard drive space I have available.

    Anyone know if it is possible to get out of my existing hard drive and replace it with another of higher capacity? Is this possible?

    I need to reinstall Vista on the new disc, from the emergency disk that came with the PC. I don't mind this, but will be Windows Vista "recognized" when I try to install the new hard disk?

    Sorry if these questions seem naïve, but I don't know how to put a new hard drive in a laptop computer, or even if it is possible. I bought the Toshiba in February 2007, which was just after Vista had been released. I had not given the choice of XP: Vista was the only Toshiba operating system provide at this time. I was assured that a 60G hard drive would be perfect for Vista, but I have to tell you that, in my opinion, that I was wrongly advised, and that Toshiba should never have released a 60G machine for use with Vista. Where my wish to have a hard drive with a larger capacity.

    Yes, you can install a larger capacity HARD drive. In my view, the A100 can take any size SATA 2.5 "HDD, so you should be able to successfully install a 250 GB or 320 GB.

    In terms of Windows, you can reinstall using the Toshiba Recovery disk came with the laptop.

    Directions for use:

    Remove the screws from the cover of the HARD drive based on the laptop to access the HARD disk.
    Pull the HARD drive out
    Transfer media cradle of HARD drive to the new HARD disk
    Slide in the new HARD drive and screw the cover of the HARD drive.
    Turn on the laptop and press F12 to access the start menu.
    Insert your recovery disk and choose CD icon to boot from it.
    Follow the prompts to install Windows.
    Connect your original HDD to the A100 using a USB adapter to restore your files/documents.

    PS. Don't forget to back up your important files regularly. HARD drives can fail at any time, since they have delicate moving parts, even when new.
