Hello

According to the post in the US forum, the WLan card is not visible in the device under network adapters Manager. Right?
You can see an unknown peripheral or Ethernet controller in Device Manager?

If so, then check this Toshiba HowTo identify the unknown device:
[How to identify an unknown device (e.g. LAN wireless module)? | http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=78]

If you don t have any unknown devices and if the WLan card still isn't in the list, then I guess the WiFi chip is defective.

In this case I recommend using a solution just as the use of external USB WLAN.

  • my wireless card no longer works...

    randomly using my computer my card wireless NETWORK has stopped working. I checked, and for some reason any the pilot only are there no more. tried to reinstall that driver for my realtek wireless card, still did not work. site HP Web to find what drivers I might miss even tried, and it came with nothing. I cannot turn it on anyway, can't find it anywhere except my device manager and, even then, it gives me no details on this at all. I don't know what else to try, or why she would randomly doing this. I scanned for virus, nothing came. and I made sure the NETWORK card has been activated in all ways I might be able to turn it on.

    Electrical components sometimes must have all the food sources removed and reintroduced to work properly.  Try to perform a hard reset first, if this does not work then we will move on to the next step.

    To perform a hard reset

    • Shut down the computer by going to the menu start and select shut down. (If you have no display, hold the button for 5 seconds); (if the computer don't market, go to the next step)
    • Unplug the adapter from the laptop.
    • Remove the battery from the bottom of the laptop.  There will be a switch/battery eject button.
    • Wait at least 1 minute with all sources of power disconnected.
    • Reinsert the battery and reconnect the power adapter, and then try to turn on the laptop.

    To be honest, this issue is not known to me but if it please try to set the BIOS to default settings and check again.
    I put t know if this will help but you can back up all your data and install again recovery image to check if the same problem persists with the factory settings.

  • Wireless card doesn't work after Windows Update

    I have a Compaq Presario F730US with Vista. I have installed Windows Mobile Device Center on it, and the computer has stopped recognizing wireless card. Then, after trying to restore the original drivers and do several other things, I have done restore the computer originally installed at the factory.  The wireless worked well.  However, as soon as I updated all Microsoft Updates and before installing Windows Mobile Device, the wireless card no longer works again.  I restored the drivers, and it worked the first time.  Then a few other updates came through, and I can't get working again.  Any suggestions?  It's a Broadcom Wireless card. I saw that a gentleman has been upgraded for its presario to Windows 7 and had the same problem on another post and never had resolution.

    The normal rule is to never accept update from Windows update device driver.

    Always bring the manufacturer.

  • Equium L20-197 no longer works

    Can I invite you for a little help on this one.

    I received an Equium L20-197 that no longer works. Not having is not the chance to see never work I'm not sure on a number of things.

    It is totally dead, with the power supply connected there is no sign of life, no power, light nothing.

    I know there are a lot of things it could be.

    This is should it lights up while there is no battery connected, only the power supply plugged in?

    If she will be so at least I can pass a battery problem, yes the battery is perhaps still defective, but this would mean that the motherboard is probably us. If she must have a battery equipped, even a plate, then it could be the battery.

    Just try to work through step-by-step.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hi mate,

    hehe, looks like a technician is here. :) It s a very good idea to do it step by step because every good techno acts like you. So I do, and it has helped me several times.

    Regarding your question: the battery must not be connected to start the machine, so if the machine start-up even won´t just with connected AC then you can be sure that there is a serious hardware problem.

    In this case, you can remove all (disk, CDROM, etc.) and try again. You can also share the adapter of the ca and the RAM. Thus, if the won´t still machine starts, then contact an ASP (Authorized Service Partner) and ask for a review of health/repair of equipment. It would be the last resort.

  • Equium L20-197 - wireless connection problems

    Have an old Toshiba laptop Equium L20 - 197, running windows XP Home Edition.

    It contains an Atheros AR5005G wireless network adapter.

    The problem I have is that it will connect to my BT home hub (and says that the connection is excellent), but does not connect to any Web site.

    I added a USB 802.11 wireless adapter g to see if I can get a connection there, and it works very well (even if it is interesting only by using the wireless utility Ralink that comes with it - when I tried with the automatic Windows Wireless Configuration, I had the same problem as before - no internet connection - switched back to the Ralink utility and it works fien again).

    Internal wireless adapter worked fine, but now do not - any suggestion welcome.

    Thank you very much

    Rob

    PS I went to Device Manager and check the updates of pilot, but he told me that he found nothing better than the used version of the driver!

    Hello

    There may be some conflicts between internal WLan card and the new external 802.11 g Wireless USB adapter.

    If not, you should check the configuration of the Atheros AR5005G wireless network adapter.
    In the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab, you can change the WLAN standard 802. 11 (A B G) on the same which is used by the router.

    If the router uses 802.11 G can change this in the Wlan settings too!
    Also check the channel. I put the channel on my router and the wireless network card to 11.

    You can also try to connect to the router without using a WLan encryption. Of course, this should be done only for the test.

    Las, but not the least, update the driver WLan:

  • Satellite 2410-404: mini pc card no longer works

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 2410-404 with mini pc installed wireless lan card, allowing to work perfectly - up to a few days ago, I installed a pcmcia by levelone wireless network card, just to check if it worked. This was the case, and so I uninstalled the card and the software that came with it. But now my toshiba mini wlan card no longer works! It is actually recognized and installed by the system and shown as being active - but I do not get a connection to wifi even when there is certainly one around. I can't even bring up the list of WLAN networks available (win xp) that normally you can even if there's no matter what available wlan.

    I checked the registry and found several remaining entries by levelone... but dare not change or delete since I'm not an expert at all regarding registry stuff. Another thing that bothers me is that when I uninstall the mini pc card and let windows reinstall, it shows as "3 wireless" or even "WiFi 4", which seems to allude to some "connection 2" still occupied by some zombie levelone wireless.

    I would appreciate any help on this matter,

    TIA
    Rainer

    Hi Rainer

    As you can see all the software, after removing, let a few entries in the registry. In my opinion, you should remove the list of Device Manager wireless card and wireless connections. Restart the device and the wireless card should be recognized and installed again.

    The wireless connection you can configure with option of windows. If you use another client to the wireless Wi - Fi disable windows configuration.
