Tecra M4: How to replace the WLAN card

Hello
I have a Tecra M4 laptop and want to upgrade my wireless card, is this possible without opening the whole case?
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?

  • How to replace the WLan card in Equium A200

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 has a Realtek wireless card which apparently is not compatible with Ubuntu.
    I bought an Intel 3945ABG card.
    From what I understand the card is located under the keyboard on this model.

    Does anyone know if the fixing strip can be suspended on or does keep the screws (requiring the withdrawal from the base of the laptop).
    I don't want to cause damage by doing the wrong thing.

    Thank you very much.

    Hmm it of known to me that the keyboard is fixed with 2 or 3 screws. The screws are hidden under the cover of thin plastic.
    This plastic cover holding the screws of the keyboard is connected only so you could remove it using a thin object and could extract.

    But note buddy you should always be careful and you shouldn't t use a force!

    I also have a second opinion; This replacement of WLan Confiez always a technician of the ASP. Why? Because a withdrawal of the keyboard can affect the validity of the warranty!

    Hello I have the Satellite Pro P300 - 13M.

    I'm out of my warranty period, is it possible to fix this? Can I replace it myself?
    USB network adapters are a viable solution to replace if I can't replace it?

    Help > _

    To resolve this issue, you must replace the motherboard. The network card or a network location is soldered on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

    In addition, it would be not covered by warranty. This isn't a matter of Toshiba, this is caused by the customer.

    However, if you want to repair you must contact an ASP or search you on eBay for a card mother of second hand.

    This LED should shine when you activate the WLan switch on the side of the laptop.
    Looks like you have not activated the WLan switch.
    I put t know exactly where the WLan switch, but you should check the front of the laptop near the headphone jack.

    Check it out.
    Then the LED should shine and you must activate the antenna with the FN + F8 key combination.

    The wireless network card is connected to the port on the motherboard miniPCI card and it of possible to remove/put the map.

    But there could still be a problems of compatibility between the new device (Wlan-chip) and the BIOS.
    I read here in the forum that someone replaced the Wlan card and finally the laptop didn't start because of compatibility issues between the Wlan and the BIOS.

    So in your case I recommend to use an external Wlan solution.
    The WLAN key is easy to use and should be compatible with most systems.

  • 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.

    Chase

    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

    Well, the replacement of HARD disk drive is very easy on the Tecra S1.
    At the bottom of the unit, you will find a cover that protects the HARD drive Bay.
    A screw covers. Remove it.

  • Satellite A100-847 - replacing a WLan card

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100-847. I would change as WIFI card for new with "n" standard.
    I found some tutorials how to proceed, but it was for Toshiba A105, very similar to my only.

    I opened the bottom cover where is memory and modem, but I couldn't see all the PCI ports.
    Is it possible to do?
    Does work through mini-PCI or is integrated on the motherboard?

    Hello

    The A100 PSAA9E supports a minPCI WLan card that supports the IEEE 802 standard. 11a / g WLan standards.
    I m not 100% sure if it would be possible to upgrade the WiFi network with a WLan card 802.11 minPCI n because the two antenna cables.
    You should first clarify if the antenna is compatible with the 802.11 standard new * WLan N standard *.

    The minPCI wireless network card must be hidden under the keyboard. So you'd have to remove the keyboard first to get access to the wireless network card.
    The wireless network card is also connected to two antenna cables. The cables must be removed carefully using a pair of tweezers. Then spread plugs securing the wireless LAN card until the card appears.

    Usually it of not difficult to replace this WLan card but if you have no experience I wouldn t recommend doing this.
    This replacement must be done by a qualified technician!
    In addition you guarantee the validity could be cancelled after these updates.
