Replacing the WIFI card

I have a Compaq NC6120 running XP I want to upgrade to Windows 7, but my WIRELESS card is not supported. If Im trying to find a WIFI card that works in my Compaq NC6120 with Windows 7 so I can connect wireless to my HP Pavilion Desktop which is running Windows 7.

Any ideas?

Hello:

Not only the wifi card is not supported, but none are fully supported video card.

I can send you the link to a driver that will allow you to change the resolution of the screen and have the graphics acceleration, but you don't have Windows Aero on a nc6120.

I looked the cards available for your laptop supported in the maintenance manual wireless and chose this card as being compatible with Windows 7:

Hewlett Packard Part # 381582-001 Intel 802.11 B/G WM3B2200BG.

The card must have the HP part on that number or your laptop does not start even upward except if the unsupported card is removed.

Best bet is to get a used but tested and functional condition on eBay. Search for the part number.

This is the cheapest I could find.

Now for the video card driver...

It's the one you need. Windows Vista Business 32-bit of the nc6220

Instructions to install...

Download and run the file. It will error out and give you an error no operating system support. Close to that.

Go to Device Manager and click on your VGA adapter. Then click on the driver tab, click on set to update driver.

Select the 'Browse my computer for software' and navigate to C:\SWSetup\sp34749.

Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and the driver should install.

  • Replacing the WIFI card for laptop G72

    Hi all

    I think that I have given up trying to fix my current card WiFi RALINK RT3090 because for some reason any it simply stopped working since last Thursday.

    Am looking to buy a replacement one but don't know with all these terminologies

    The repair, I found the sub elements:

    -Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter 1 1 x
    -Module WLAN 802.11b/g/n 1 x 2 Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1000
    -Realtek RTL8191SE 802.11b/g/n 1 x 1 WiFi adapter (for 1.0 and 1.1 only models)
    -Adapter of WiFi 802.11b/g/n 1 x 1 Broadcom 4313
    -4313 Broadcom 802.11b/g/n WiFi 1 x 1 and 2070 Bluetooth 2.1 + adapter Combo BDU (BT3.0 + HS ready) (for models 1.1 and 1.2 only)
    -802.11b/g/n Ralink RT3090BC4 1 x 1 WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Combo Adapter (BT3.0 + HS ready) (for models 1.1 and 1.2 only)

    All I'm looking for is something that connects with my router that is currently configured for 2.4 Ghz (can go up to 5 GHz but not looking for it) and get the best connectivity possible and if I choose to use my Smart TV with DLNA technology.

    Q1: Will all these above mentioned work card WLAN on my G72 (it is B02SA or B20SA) portable or can be picked up any other WLAN card (mini/low-profile if I'm not mistaken, that's what we call them)

    Q2: What is "for 1.0 and 1.1 only models"?

    Q3: Which of them will give me better speeds and possible connetivity?

    Q4: My previous card Ralink RT3090BC4 gave me several questions whenever I have to reinstall my OS so don't want the hassle

    Thanks to all in advance.

    I'll keep your recommendation in mind.

    You would be so kind to answer my original question which will help me a lot

    Q1: Will all these above mentioned work card WLAN on my G72 (it is B02SA or B20SA) portable or can be picked up any other WLAN card (mini/low-profile if I'm not mistaken, that's what we call them). Check in the download section to check if the drivers are available. This nmeans that support BIOS is present.
    Q2: What is "for 1.0 and 1.1 only models"? It's information that can only be obtained at HP internally. It is likely to be market designations for models for the specific world regions. 
    Q3: Which of them will give me better speeds and possible connetivity? Module Intel uses the drivers Intel is more reliable.
    Q4: My previous card Ralink RT3090BC4 gave me several questions whenever I have to reinstall my OS so don't want the hassle. I also had problems with this module in the past. I prefer Intel and Realtek.

    You should consider browsing the forums on the sites of BIOS mod your laptop from warranty. There is a risk attached to the use of modded BIOS, you will have to accept. Modded BIOS files can remove blacklists of module.

  • Can I replace the graphics card on Tecra M2?

    I have a Tecra M2 and the display shows verticle lines across the entire screen. These lines also appear when plugged upward on a normal screen.
    I checked Device Manager and it says that the nvidia card "cannot start." The problems had me uninstall and won't reinstall, no luck.
    Next option is to unplug and then plug back in, but is it possible? If it is separate would rather just replace the card. Thanks for any help.

    From your description of the error, this really sounds like a malfunction of the GPU (graphics processing unit).
    Unfortunately, it is a serious offense and if a replacement of material you will not be able to fix this :(

    It is a case value because you can not only replace the graphics card. You need to replace the whole motherboard because the GPU is soldered on the Board and cannot be removed easily.

    There is nothing to my buddy.
    Seems that you need to contact a support technician.

    Good luck

  • Can Qosmio G50 - I replace the graphics card?

    Jin

    I would like to know if it is possible to replace the graphics card in the default value of G50 (9600gt) with a better (for example 9800gt).
    Thank you for your help and information.

    I am dissatisfied with the performance of default graphics card. Is there another way to improve performance?

    Hello

    I m wondering really that you are not satisfied with the performance of the 9600M GT graphics card. What games do you play?

    Friend of me has the same graphics card in his notebook and it can play all the games. For a laptop, the 3D performance are really good I must say. :)

  • Tecra M4: How to replace the WLAN card

    Most of the NB I know have these cards below the keyboard, or behind a clean cover accessible from the rear. Tried both, found nothing.

    Thanks in advance

    Florian

    Hello Florian

    I fear that you will not be able to Exchange only WLAN card. The WIFI card on this laptop model is placed on site so stupid and laptop must be disassembled. Please be careful if you want to do this alone.

    To be honest you shouldn't do this without maintenance manuals. One small mistake and you can damage the sensitive plastic components inside your laptop.

    Furthermore, this model Tecra a pretty good and quick WLAN card. G standard, if I remember well. I have the same card on my Tecra and data transfer is OK.

    What WLAN card you want to use now?

    No, it is not possible given that the graphics chips more are part of the motherboard.

    Is it possible to change the wifi card internal of my computer toshiba laptop u200-163, I can change the hard disk?

    Thank you.

    If you use the compatible WiFi card I see no problem, but in my opinion, there is no reason for this. I guess your laptop comes with WLAN card 802.11a/b/g and using the g standard data transfer is fast enough and you avoid any problems if you use your laptop for work.

  • Is satellite A200 - possible to replace the grapchics card?

    Hello!

    I've had my Toshiba A200 - 1 M 8 for two years now and everything was going well until one day, while working on this subject, it is just went down. The arrested LEDs had any, even when not connected to the power supply and the laptop wouldn't start. I checked the habit - power cable bad, trying to see if the leds are gone or the laptop start with and without the battery in. Then I checked if all the cables are connected to the mother board the right way - they were. Know a little of material and to be a student of applied computer science, I thought that the problem was probably with the motherboard or something related to it.

    So, an I unplugged devices connected to the motherboard to see if this allows the flow of power through the Commission. Long story short, it turned out that when I disconnected the graphics card (radeon HD2600 256 MB) the LEDs showed once again, and of course, the laptop started, but only a sound signal once or twice, which is normal when there are essential, as the map, missing. After a further inspection, I found that two blocks of memory on the card have burned completely, which explains why it did not work.

    So now, here's my question: 1. is it possible to buy a replacement directly from Toshiba? If not, how can I specify what I seek, when searching through stores online and how can I check if it would be compatible with my laptop? 2. If it is possible to replace the card, it would be possible to replace with a better model (like hd3470), this means that my laptop would be able to manage the best card and is it still possible to find a better card, mounting my laptop (physically, I mean, it's pretty tight in there: P)?

    Thanks for any helpful answer in advance, if more information is needed to answer my questions, I would be happy to provide it.

    Hello

    (1) an authorized service provider can replace the VGA card to you, directly from Toshiba. There is a list of the ASP on the Toshiba site, in the support section.

    (2) Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the VGA card in most laptops because there is no common standard model, the BIOS is coded to work with a specific VGA card and the cooling system is designed for the dissipation of the heat of this VGA card.
