Satellite A30 - 303 install wireless mini PCI card internal

Hello
I am installing a PA3300U (Atheros) mini PCI WiFi internal card and have a basic question that I hope someone will be able to answer. There are two cables, white and black (under the cover of the wireless card on the case) which I suppose are for the internal antenna. The question is where do these attach to on the mini-PCI card (unfortunately I have no instructions for the card mounting)?
I'll be very grateful for any assistance with this.
Best regards, Dave.

Hello

I don't actually see one of the Atheros cards, but on other brands, there are two connectors that are marked with the HAND and to THE.
A white cable normally goes to the HAND and a black to the auxiliary voltage

  • Startup gets "Network cable unplugged" on (new) wireless mini-PCI card

    Repost in the previous topic was locked, but has not been resolved. Original post below, please see previous post for more details

    I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have intermittent problems connecting my Tecra 9100. If the 9100 has been off for awhile (like overnight), when I restart I get always "Network cable unplugged" for the wireless connection. Reboot several times (anything from 3 upwards) I finally get connected to the router and everything then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (that is, once that the wireless adapter is connected) does not cause a problem, but as soon as I leave the stop of the machine during a time he fails again on restart.

    There are no errors in the event log.

    I am using wireless mini-PCI cards and have already updated to the latest version of the driver.

    Any ideas gratefully received, for now every morning is a 20 to 30 minutes of rebooting frustration trying to get my connection work.

    (Running Win2K professional)

    Hello

    I have the same problem if I stand for laptop and access point at the same time. If the access point is already in use, the connection is established shortly after. First the access point must establish a connection to the modem. Now the wireless connection is not available.

    I guess after the second reboot, the connection between the AP and the modem is already finished and you can use the network wireless successfully.

  • Wireless Mini-PCI card does not work after installing it in socket

    I have laptop satellite A30, it has a plug for a mini PCI card.
    I buy a (chipset intel) and install the driver on the PC.
    The problem that I can not power on the wireless?
    There is a switch for this perpose on the side of the laptop, but when I change nothing happen!
    Also press the Fn with F8 button but nothing is also happening.
    I discuss this issue with other friends, they told me that there must be something in the BIOS and activiate/deactiviate the wireless, but I can't find anything related to map wireless in BIOS?
    For this I need your help
    Concerning

    Hi guys,.

    THX starbucks for the post, but I must correct you:

    As the wireless card in the mini-pci card slot is the only one, there is NO onboard wireless card. So it can't be anything to be disabled except the pci socket.
    And regarding the problem: perhaps the card is not compatible with this machine. I suggest to buy a card based on the atheros chipset because they are known to work VERY well (in fact they work) in almost all brands without bigger problems and they do in computers laptop toshiba.

    If the card was not recognized then another card must be installed-> atheros and not INTEL chipset

  • ? PRO/Wireless mini PCI card will switch

    This question has been posted before, but I have not found a solution

    I have installed a PRO mini-PCI card / Wireless 2915ABG in my A30. It is recognized as a card very well, but I can't turn it on. Not with the switch and or the software.

    Any tips?

    Hi rothirgo,

    As far as I know Satellite A30 series is built with Atheros and Agere wireless card. This means that Toshiba has been test machines with just these two cards and do not support another manufacturer of the WL card for this machine. If you have the Intel card and good driver, it should work too.

    Is in the device, a problem Manager? When your card has been properly installed, go to control panel > network connections. If there is Wireless Network Connection showed that it should be enabled.

    If you do this, you can now search for available networks in the wireless network connection properties.

    Just one last question. You have wireless on / off switch on the left side of your laptop? What Wireless Card on FN + F8 check if there is an answer.

    Please let me know what you have done and are there any error messages.

  • Card wireless Mini PCI for Satellite Pro has 10

    Someone at - it successfully installed the Toshiba PA3300U-1MPC or any other in Satellite Pro A10 (model PSA15E-01PJY) wireless Mini PCI card? This model already has the internal antenna, the switch and the LED
    mounted.

    On the site of Toshiba UK accessories compatibility table indicates that the wireless adapter is compatible with the Satellite Pro A10 series. When I called the helpline (0870 444 89440) Toshiba, we said that this wireless card was not compatible with my laptop and have been unable to provide any internal wireless card that was.

    Hello

    @ drewlfths: I m not 100% sure where the wireless network card is placed on Satellite Pro M10.
    But in my opinion it s under the keyboard. I think the best way is to contact Toshiba service in your country for details.

    By the way: the Satellite Pro M10 supports only the standard Wi - Fi: 802. 11B. In this case I n t think you will be able to use a super G standard.

    In your case, I prefer to use an external solution such as a Wlan USB key.

  • A30-151 Mini PCI card Possible?

    Hello everyone, I have a Satellite A30 151, which says that the manual site and toshiba, is capable of receiving an internal wireless Mini PCI card, the site lists even more compatible models(PA3300U-1MPC). However, I rang Toshiba support they said initially the cell phone was not compatible, but seem to display of their minds and say that the site must be right. Has anyone installed one of these cards for an A30 151? I opened the slot of the wireless card, it has a slot, but no antenna wires that I could see, swich wireless is also absent. I would really like to know if this laptop / card are compatible and if I would be able to adapt or if he has to go to a Toshiba Service Center? Please help if you can. Thank you.

    Hello

    Toshiba Support gives you the right information. You can use Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card (802. 11 b / g) PA3300U-1MPC.

    Don worry on on/OFF switch. You can turn on/off in Control Panel > network connections.

    If your laptop is not is not more than two years, it will be best to contact the Toshiba authorized Service partner.

    Hello

    I've had my laptop for several years now and have only just signed up for wireless broadband service. My Satellite A30-203 can be improved internally with a mini PCI card (I checked the back) but where I can get a compatible?

    Hello

    Thank you very much.

    Moral salvation

    Well, in my opinion, you bought a bad wireless card. I don t think that your game can works with your device. Before you buy some hardware components, you need to check the compatibility of these parts. Toshiba service partners always have information about the units on the right. However, I found a wireless card that is compatible with your laptop. It's a PA3212U-1MPC.

  • Question about card WiFi for Satellite A30 303

    Intel pro wireless card works with my satellite A30 303? The signal is strong or more just to buy a USB WiFi adapter?

    I have to buy a wireless card, but I don't know who... and if a USB adapter works better than a PCI (signal stronger and more stable)

    Null value

    Hello

    It could pass the Sat A30-303 with the Wireless LAN PA3212U-1MPC card.
    It is an Intel 2100 Pro minPCI wireless network card that supports the 802. 11b standard.

    But to be honest, I prefer the external solution like WLan USB stick.
    You know that, sometimes, some compatibility problem between the wireless network card and the WLan router might appear. In my opinion it is much easier to test and remove the external USB WLAN as a wireless network card internal minPCI.

    Hope I could help a little.

    My computer is a Toshiba Wirless lan Mini PCI Card.
    I installed the card a few years ago - everything worked great.
    In early 2006, I installed a new operating system (XP Pro + SP1, same system as before) because it was necessary.
    I installed all the drivers for the card of W - Lan, of course, the map worked in a good way (no driver incompatibility or other problems).
    But, and this is the reason of this topic here. It is not possible to connect my card to any hot spot. I tried with 2 different access points, but the result is the same. 'No connection Point found '.

    Does anyone have an idea of what to do or where I could look for failure? Is there maybe no special software required (I couldn't remember that I needed in my last installation special driver or software)

    If more information is needed, please let know me.

    Hello Christian

    First your English is fine, and I'm sure that every user will understand what you want to describe.
    Back to your problem: the wireless card properly recognized and listed in the Device Manager?
    If so, please be sure that this card is enabled. Just that you should be able to see any wireless network.

    You n t need any special software. WIFI connection can be configured using settings in windows.

  • Satellite 2450-101 Mini PCI card please

    I have a Satellite 2450-101, which is longer under warranty. I upgraded the memory and noticed a mini-pci slot with two waiting for a card antenna cables. I need a g card (the 3300 looks like a good bet). The manual refers to a mini-pci slot and the CD from the laptop comes with Atheros drivers for the same... I am currently using a PCMCIA card but want to spend money with Toshiba to get a good onboard solution. I called Toshiba who say that he is not a slot in my laptop... Please please don't refer me to a partner because I've never actually talked to one yet. Honest answer please... can I mount a mini-pci card... is the 3300 OK, and how do I join the cables (if this is difficult, I won't)...
    Thank you

    Hello

    I found information that your device is ready for the Mini PCI Wireless card. As you know on the wireless card there are two connectors that are marked of PRINCIPAL and auxiliary normally a white cable goes to the ESSENTIAL and a black to the auxiliary voltage

    Sorry, but I can't tell you exactly what wireless card will be the best for you. In my opinion, you should contact partner in your country. I'm sure they can give you correct information, which is compatible with your device and how much it will cost.

  • Satellite A20-S103 WiFi mini PCI card need help

    Hello

    I own a Toshiba A20-S103. When I bought the camera there not of wireless. I have the switch but wireless. I would like to install it but I don't like solutions card mainly because of the portruding antennas and special care, I imagine that you must have for such a solution (do not break the card because of the carelesness). Now, I opened my laptop and I have the empty mini PCI slot and the antenna cables. I found several mini PCI card on the Toshiba site in the communication options and accessories section. The problem I have now is that although I found two mini PCI card 802.11a/b/g, which seems to be compatible with my model, I can't decide which is the best because the information provided for each of them are the same. The only thing that seems to be different is the reference number (PA3318U-2MPC and PA3298U-1MPC). Also, there is a two 802. 11 b / g cards compatible with my model but even once, I can't make my decision due to the fact that the information provided for these cards is not helping to distinguish between them. Looking in the manual, I found that my model suports only 802. 11a / b (or at least what they say). And there's a mini PCI 802.11 g on the Toshiba site which is not compatible with my model. If it makes me wonder if I can get a card 802.11 g. I would really like it for the higher speeds that it will support. I don't want to pay more money to use a PCI 802.11a/b/g only to discover that I can just conect to 11 Mbps and not 54 or so... Also, I found on the internet of the 802.11 cards g that promise speeds greater than 54 Mbps. Toshiba provides such a solution? If not, are there maps 802.11 g third-party compatible with my model? I hope that there is someone out there who can help me sort this mess.

    Hi Stefan

    It is not easy to give you a proper answer. In my opinion, it should work, but it is also important to install a suitable driver for the wireless card. I'm sure that it is possible to install the driver for another model mobile using the same wireless card. It will be perhaps better to contact the Service partner and ask them because they have such information and more experience with this sort of thing.

    Best regards, Joze

    Hello

    You can change the settings in the properties of the wireless network.
    In the wireless tab, you can choose the network and press properties.
    There, it should be possible to set the wireless network key.

    In my opinion, if the card wireless doesn t support the WPA if you need other maps.
