Z580 - WLAN adapter problem

I've got Lenovo IdeaPad Z580, with Core i7, 4 GB of RAM and 1 TB of HARD drive processor.

A few months ago, I noticed that my BONES sometimes would freeze (make this beep sound freakin ') if I moved my computer too fast in my office (weird). She got worse a few weeks ago and seems to be somehow connected to my wireless network adapter.

It especially simply - nothing works. Switch WLAN disappears from the BIOS configuration, etc., like it wasn't even there. If I'm lucky (as I am now), it would work somehow. All of a sudden appears again in the BIOS etc. I can even use it on my Windows 8, but... If I propose a little my laptop, it will suddenly freeze and restart causes WLAN adapter not in the system at all, or the connection is de-energized ("metered" stuff etc.). Restart adapter according to the results of system in "find no WLANs", wlan switch endangered or gel.

I tried to reinsert the WLAN card, it sorta fixed stuff when I did it for the first time, I had a week or two without a problem, but he returned and reintegrated support is no longer.

First question what I can do with this adapter WLAN problem?

Second question is - while doing all this thing reinserting, my screws are a little bare now (but not completely, it is possible to get them unscrewed without any problem) because I have not noticed my screwdriver is broken and ruining. My laptop is still covered by the warranty? I do not have removed or broken any warranty seals in the process well, just the screws.

I forgot to mention, by WLAN adapt is Atheros AR9485WB-EG.

Information on repair mentions setting parts disconnected.

  • Satellite A210-14 - strange problem with new WLAN adapter Intel 4965agn mm1

    Hi chubbyhamster,

    To me, it sounds like this map isn't WLAN compatible with your laptop. I guess that all wireless network adapters are compatible with all laptops (assignment of pins e. g.).

    As far as I know use fast N project you need 3 antennas. I think Satellite A210-14 has just two antennas because only WIFI b/g card built in. This means that you can upgrade your laptop to the project speed N t.

    Alternative you can use the LAN card or a USB key which takes in charge the project N, but in my view, WIFI b/g standard should be fast enough

    Happy new year to you all. I have a problem with the adapter wireless following a downgrade from Vista to XP Pro home. Device Manager indicates that a network adapter, which is the LAN and it does not work properly.

    I have two points with one exception - Ethernet controller and Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device.

    I find all the major engines of the Toshiba Australia but he lists three (I think) site possible WLAN - Atheros, RealTek, and one of the other manufacturers.

    I tried all three without success but am willing to acknowledge that I can have a mistake, perhaps by installing all three drivers at the same time for example.

    The indicator on the front of the box portable wireless lights on or off with the hard switch setting.

    I am also unable to locate the display of all available wireless netrworks, this can be a symptom of the driver is not installed.

    I tried to locate the wireless card, but it doesn't seem to be accessible through the background panels, including the Panel of RAM module.

    Any ideas please?

    > I have two Articles with one exception - Ethernet controller and Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device.

    The Ethernet controller is the WLAN adapter.
    I guess that the WLan driver is missing and so the wireless network card does not appear under network adapters

    No, you cannot use the eSATA port for the use of the USB WLan adapter.
    You can only connect compatible external devices that support eSATA port!

  • Satellite P15-8409, Atheros wireless network adapter problem

    Hello. I'm having a frustrating problem with an old laptop Satellite P15. I restored the phone to default settings using the recovery disk that the system was working very badly. After that, the wireless network adapter has stopped working. In the Device Manager "Atheros AR5001X + Wireless Network Adapter" is marked with a yellow exclamation point. In the menu properties, under general, the State of the device the following is listed:

    The device cannot find enough free resources that it can use (code 12)

    The operating system is Windows XP Home Edition. The same problem has been present in SP1, SP2 and SP3. I also updated the BIOS to V2, but it also did not help.

    At work, we use a wireless internet connection. At home, I have a DSL connection. Curiously, when I plugged the network cable to the House, the yellow exclamation mark disappeared and a wireless connection icon appeared in the network connections window. I assumed that the problem has been resolved by updating to Windows; However when I brought the computer in the office, the wireless adapter was once more in the State I described.

    I searched the internet for the same problem, but was unable to find anything. I would be very happy to help.

    all the best,

    James

    BIOS version is installed on your machine? And you have you recently changed some hardware etc...?

    I don't know what it could be, but in the worst cases, the wlan card has certain shortcomings. You can check this by getting somewhere such an atheros wlan card or intel and install it instead of the one installed.

    Maybe the exchange of cards should solve this problem?

  • Satellite P L50-B-1 1 - WLAN connection problem

    Hi all

    I have an annoying problem that persists with my wifi adapter, after about 20 minutes using my wifi adapter will drop connection and windows will identify a problem with him which will be normally corrected by running the option "solve problems". The windows hotfix identifies is "reset the adapter.

    On occasion if the convenience store will plant which then in turn turns off the wifi card who then cannot be turned on again until the phone has been restarted, but in turn the laptop freezes then trying to stop and I can only turn off by holding the power button.

    Device Manager is not any issues even when the connection dropped and maintains that the device works properly.

    If someone could help me to fix this problem, I would be extremely grateful.

  • Can not activate WLAN Adapter

    Hi, I have a Satellite M40 (PSM40C), but the wireless LAN adapter will not be activated after power on, the same with the switch wireless power. I had the same problem 5 months ago. I installed last BIOS Uptade was fine, but now, I had the same problem again...
    can someone help me?
    THX!

    Hi, Omer

    I don t know what is happening with your unit, but if the WLAN switch is on and the orange led is on check use FN + F8 key combination to activate the wireless network card.

    If you start ConfigFree tool Conectivity doctor tab you can see if the wireless card is active or not.

  • Equium A60-157 - PCMCIA or USB WLan adapter

    I have an Equium A60-157 and you want to add a wireless adapter.
    Can someone advise me on a PCMCIA or USB adapter suitable for this model.

    VIN.

    It s indifferent if you buy a card PCMICA WLAN or WLAN USB stick.
    My opinion would be a USB key, because you can use it on a PC too.

    I put t have much experience with these WLAN sticks but I would buy one from the manufacturing of your router. For example, I have a router of AVM and a stick of AVM WLAN.
    So you can be sure that s has no problems because you have from different manufacturers.

    I hope I could help a bit.

  • Satellite L100-120 WLAN connectivity problem

    It is very difficult to connect to a wifi network, the activity is very slow between 200-500 bytes sent and received, and often, with excellent signal, I get the message "no or limited connectivity.

    Now I use an external adapter that gives me good connectivity, with 4 giga bytes sent and 23 giga bytes received. I updated the driver, now, I 10.5.1.59 version. He has not much improved. I'm still 6 months warranty, but I have trouble finding a service. I'm in France, Nancy and me told me that I have to pack up and send my laptop for service in another city. I wonder why can't help on the site, because the most likely solution is to replace the adapter.

    Can be worn for several days, it's hardly what I expect my laptop. It's a faulty device on my laptop, that gives me a lot of problem and to solve it, I have to endure more discomfort. I guess it's easier to buy an external device and forget that I already have one on my laptop.

    If someone could give me some advice, I would be very grateful, and if you can suggest a solution that would be really great.

    Hello

    I wonder if you tried to update the BIOS.
    To my knowledge the new BIO 2.0 should solve some problems with the WLan connectivity and performance.
    I recommend trying this.
    The BIOS is located on the site of Toshiba.

  • s S10-3 wlan driver problem

    Hello, my problem is that I can't use WiFi on my netbook: s10-3s (model '0703'). I formatted the hard drive and install windows7 32 bit (before is was the same, but the starter edition). Usually everything works like magic with win7, but not with the hardware of this netbook. Graphicschip, Ethernet and WirelessLan did not work after the new installation of windows. I went on site support lenovo and downloaded all the drivers in the sections for material that did not work properly. This fixed my problem with the intel graphicschip and the ethernet controller, so I could connect to the internet via my router lan cable. After downloaded and installed all the drivers wlan 4 listed for my model, it was still not working. I have no more unknown device in Device Manager, but I does not recognize wlan networks, so I doubt that any driver worked. I read that the netbook can have one of these chips-WiFi: atheros, broadcom and intel. My netbook seems to have a broadcom one (it says "Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter" in the properties of the adapter). the switch wlan on my netbook is turned on and the led is lit thanks in advance

    Ah good... How should I know this?

    I solved the problem by installing the power management driver...

    the feature of the fn + f5 was not installed at all. After installing the driver I could turn on wlan with fn + f5 and it worked.

    Good bye
