Satellite A100-028 - How to replace the mini-PCI WiFi card?

Hello

I want to replace the Intel with a Module Atheros wireless card.
Unfortunately on the background there is no cover for the mini PCI Slot.
Where he is? I guess that they are under the top cover or under the keyboard.
Should I a short "How To" in this way:
Which screws I release that covers and so on are to be released.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Galdor,

It of not simple to change the W - Lan card.
The card ist under the keyboard and under the top cover.
You have to disassemble the entire and when you do that you lose your warranty.
I think it's the best for you to contakt a service point for this work.

    Hello

    the device DVD/combined my A100-692 is damaged and I want to replace it.
    I found no still no guide how to replace the unit.

    Is there something available?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello!

    AFAIK, you must remove the keyboard first, before you can replace the CD/DVD drive. Remove the screws on the lower side, and then you can push the disc if you have replaced the keyboard.
    It seems to be a bit tricky

    Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help. They can replace the CD/DVD drive for you.

    Good bye

  • Installation of a missing mini PCI WiFi card in the Satellite 2450 101?

    My Satellite s2450-101 seems devoid of a WiFi card.

    There is no mention of such a card in the adapters in device Manager\Network, which lists the following three elements: 1) 1394 Net adapter MAC bridge Miniport) 2 and 3) Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
    The Wireless Communication switch on "on" does not have the led lights up.
    By pressing Fn + F8, that should turn the wireless LAN has no effect.

    Responses to the following would be much appreciated:

    The laptop S2450-101 comes equipped with a mini PCI WiFi card in standard, or not?

    If so, how can it be activated?

    If it is not the case, how can we install such a mini-PCI card? The laptop is more two years and more under warranty.

    Sincere thanks.

    Hello

    I found the info that this unit is ready WLAN and is attributed to the WLAN option in option. Check please the Device Manager and see if the wireless adapter is listed under network adapter. If this is not the case, the device is without wireless network card.

    Let us know if the card is on board and we can write once again how the card must be activated.

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the WLAN slot is placed under the keyboard. There is also the antenna cables (black and white cable). Update is not a problem, and you can only do so at your own risk of course. ;)

    Unfortunately I put t know exactly what WLAN card is compatible. If you want you can use the external solution. It is much easier.

  • Satellite A505-S69803 - how to replace the Wlan card?

    Before we get into the details of my problem.
    I pulled out a DSL product, set up hundreds of wireless routers. I was a service technician laptop for 3 years for laptops as well.

    I picked up a Toshiba, the price is right and so far cause I learn that you get what you pay for.

    This machine has a realtek wireless card.
    As everyone knows... Realtek is cheaply made of defective material.

    Toshiba refuses to replace this card.
    I need to buy a new card for this laptop.
    I need to know if it's a mini-pci, half height mini-pci, pci-e, or mini-pci-e card.
    I plan to get a processor intel for her.

    I also need that white papers for I can remove the wrist cushion / bezel on this camera. They have guides to the user, but unlike other manufacturers of portable, do not have their service manuals available.

    Any help to get to this laptop fixed would be appreciated. He is soon out of town with my parents.

    Hi vlad2,.
    Realtek is also known to run perfekt Linux - this indicates that the material is not so bad as you think...

    Toshiba sells such unity as specified - if you want to have some other hardware choose another model of laptop computer or replace the wlan by yourself...
    in case of doubt, that the card is in it, open the door under which lies the card - for a tech notebook pro like you no big deal - and check it out.
    replace this part should be easy...

    to respond to your complaint: + "Toshiba will not replace this card." +
    course than that! If this works, there is no need to replace and you will always get the same thing as the spare part because this model comes with sound...

    I don't like to repeat myself, but a mobile technician should be able to take the machine apart (you will ruin your warranty with this action)
    Disassemble the caches is a thing of partner service - not for customers...

    by the way: "I learn that you get what you pay for" + means what you see is what you get, to spend more money is not bad at all...
    You can't get a mercedes for the price of a small car...

    and what is your technical problem with the WiFi network?

    What card WLAN have you had before and do the work of a former?

  • Satellite A100-386 - how to upgrade the BIOS?

    Hello

    I wanted just to update my old Satellite A100-386 with 4 GB of RAM (2x2gb Crucial) instead of 1 GB, as I am now running Windows7 Pro 64 bit instead of the original XP 32.

    I read that I had to upgrade the BIOS as mine is v2.00. So, I downloaded the last of them.
    It seems to be an automatic upgrade of BIOS (S10V600.exe) as mentioned on the site Web of Toshiba.
    But when hit the .exe, I have a box of error message saying:
    "LOADPEDRV. "EXE: could not start the service.

    My question is: do I have to be 32-bit OS to run the upgrade of the automatic BIOS or is it possible to Flash the BIOS with a Windows7 64 bit OS run?

    Thanks a lot for all answer as I found no 'how to' in search on this forum.

    Best regards
    François

    Hi FPSim,

    Who said that you need to update the BIOS to upgrade RAM? The maximum RAM capacity depends on the motherboard and chipset and not BIOS.

    Official website of Toshiba, I have seen that the model supports 4 GB of RAM so the BIOS update is not necessary. Increase the RAM and everything is ok.

  • Satellite A100-233 - how to use the multimedia buttons in Linux

    Hello!

    I used to use media keys and ALTLinux on Toshiba Satellite A100-233 (who, under the power button)... Its possible? If so, how?

    PS: Sorry for my bad English... If you can answer on Russian... =)

    Hello

  • Satellite A100 - display balack after replacing the LCD screen

    Hello

    So I'm trying to fix a LCD on a Satellite A100. The girl I am set as said she accidentally hit the screen with his hand and became black.

    When you turn on the laptop I can here windows activate, nothing is on the LCD screen. It is not the backlight, because I don't see anything on the screen at all. So I bought a replacement LCD screen and that one does not work either. Same question

    I think it is the inverter, any suggestions?

    Could be the sensor cover?

    Thank you! Kyle

    Hi Kyle,.

    Did you buy this new LCD screen to a service provider authorized? I ask this question because it would be interesting to know if it s a Toshiba valid a party or 3rd party a spare.

    Did you check the connection of the LCD cable? There may be a link to lose or the cable itself is touched.
    Theoretically, it might be the FL inverter too, but I doubt that. Otherwise, you'd see something on the screen but very dark.

    Or does anyone know how to remove the drive of this laptop Bay

    Hello

    I think the disk replacement procedure is very similar to replacements on other laptops.
    To remove the STRANGE bay module follow these steps:

    1. turn the computer.
    2. remove the black binding screws.
    3 turn the computer over and open the display.
    4. push the module bay ODD.

    All that s. It s not achieved with a screw.

  • Satellite P300 - 271 - how to replace the keyboard?

    Hello
    I have a Satellite P300 - 271 and there are a few damaged keys. I bought a new keyboard for this laptop.

    Is there a caraa how do I replace the keyboard?

    Greets, Benjamin

    Hi Benjamin,

    As far as I know that these manuals are not for the public. Technicians certified for laptop only can download these manuals. You can download the normal user manual that came with your laptop.

    A friend told me to replace the keyboard to remove the keyboard first, support but it s fixed by screws on the underside. After that, you can remove the keyboard but be careful with the cable.

    Disassembly of the laptop is a little tricky. If you n t have experience with that you should ask a technician for laptop help.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA8: How to order the Toshiba XP-> Vista upgrade CD

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite A100 (psaa8)
    I found that a document indicates that I can move on to Vista and a link but it does not work.

    So can you please help me with this, I got bored of XP.

    I read that some members ordered a free vista CD.
    Can you tell me how to order and it is good or bad?

    Hello

    Remember that this offer is limited by the date! I think you're too late dude!
    But why you're bored? The XP is the OS really friendly and fully compatible with all 3rd party devices!
    Vista needs a lot more use as XP and runs slower than XP. If you want to play games on your laptop, I would recommend staying with XP! All games run faster under OS XP!

    You know the Vista Customization Pack? This allows you to use XP but it looks like a Vista.
    You know, the whole images, icons, etc. will transform the look of Vista.

    It s nice and for people who wants to change the old XP style new style Vista ;)
