HP/Compaq :: Wireless Card That Will Work With My Laptop Beside Atheros

Jan 23, 2009

I have been having problem with Atheros ar5009 on dv5 for the last two weeks. I did clean install and it didnt help. I tried almost everything on the web to solve the problem but no luck. I just called Hp tech support today but they want me to do the system recovery but I couldnt do it because I did the clean install.

I am thinking of replacing it with different wireless card. I don't know what is compatible with my system. I have amd turion x2 2.1 ghz. the wireless uses pci-e slot. can anyone recommend me a wireless card that will work with my laptop beside atheros?

Model is dv5-1113us

Acer :: 6920G - Network Card Is An Atheros AR2181

Nov 24, 2008

a problem im having with my Acer 6920G, basically the network card is an Atheros AR2181, and ive been having problems with it since day 1.

Basically the drivers it came with (1.0.0.28) would cause my internet connection to "suffer" limited connectivity every 5 minutes or so which would srop download speeds to around 1 kb/s. I thought i should upgrade drivers to the latest which are the 1.0.0.38/9 drivers, i thought i had fixed the problem as for the first 10 minutes or so it was working fine, and then suddenly my pc froze and the screen went funny with lines running across the whole thing, as if it was an overheating issue.

To solve this i bought a USB network card, which works fine but takes up a USB slot and gives me slow download speed of around 20 - 100 kb/s compared to over 10 Mb/s in some cases with the Atheros.

Dell :: Replacing XPS 1640 WiFi Card

Aug 29, 2009

Over in the Wireless section I was told that my constant connection drops in Windows 7 are likely just due to the card (Intel 5100) and to replace it with something that isn't Intel. My question is, what is the best card out there to replace my current one that will support a Belkin N router AND fit in my computer? As I have almost no knowledge of Wireless cards I have no idea what the slot is even called that it fits into. Could someone point me in the right direction? Does anyone know about this card

Dell :: Replacing The Video Card In My Old 9300. What's Compatible

May 10, 2008

I had originally planned on just building a seperate desktop, but had recieved some interesting offers on here and seen some things on ebay that made me reconsider breathing a bit more life into this laptop.

I have an older Inspiron 9300, that originally came with a 6800go (256mb). What other cards can I put in it that will a) fit and b) perform well, without c) needing major modifications (new battery, etc, etc)?

I know the 6800go will, and the x300, but what about the 7300go that was put in the e1505s and Inspiron 6400s a generation later? Do the heatsinks and stuff line up still, or are they the wrong size?

Any advice or links would be appreciated. Also, if someone has a part they'd like to sell, or links to places they can be found for cheap, feel free to hit me up in-thread with those as well.

HP Compaq C700 Networking :: Wireless Connection No Longer Works With Atheros Ar5007 802.11b/g Adaptor

Sep 13, 2014

My laptop has been very happily connecting wirelessly for many years and all of a sudden in the last 2 days it is refusing to connect wirelessly saying there are no wireless networks. the wireless button is turned on and all other devices in the house connect. I have tried wired via an ethernet cable and all is fine. I have tried updating the driver and backing out to the previously installed driver and neither resolves the issue.

HP/Compaq :: Replacing Dv4t HDD

Mar 13, 2009

if any of you dv4t owners have run into the same issue trying to replace your hard drive... I opened the hard drive cover, removed the 3 screws holding the drive in place, and tried pulling up on the metal tab (the one facing the inside of the notebook) but couldn't get the drive free... I've been struggling to get the drive out for awhile now without any luck. Out of desperation I used a pair of pliers to try and get a better grip on the tab, but all I ended up doing was bending the outer casing (not the drive) slightly. It's like it glued in there or something!

HP/Compaq :: Replacing Dv5 Screen

Oct 27, 2009

last summer I was given a HP Pavillion dv5 that had a little problem with his screen:

The part number of the piece is 484363-001, and it seems it has to be WXGA because of the resolution (1280x800). Is there any problem if it's WSXGA instead?

HP/Compaq :: Replacing HDD For Pavilion Dv2129ea

Apr 8, 2009

i have a 3 years old hp pavilion dv2129ea. recently i decided to upgrade it, so i replaced the 1gig ram to 2gig, and went on to replacing the 80gig hard drive. i searched the internet for compatible hdd and eventually i bought a 250gig WD after making sure its compatible. to my surprise, when i tried to mount it, it didn't fit, the pins of the new drive is upside down comparing to the original, plus, the pins of the original drive protrude a bit from the frame. so now i have a 250gig drive which i can't return or use, but the real problem is that i still want to buy a new drive but i don't know how to make sure it's compatible.

here are the specs & the pics:

original HDD
FUJITSU
Model IDFUJITSU MHV2080BH PL
S/NNW9ZT682F8MP
Revision892C

new HDD
Western Digital Scorpio Blue
Model IDWD2500BEVS - 22VAT0
Serial NumberWXE808RX5937

comparison, notice the pins:

Acer :: Backup/Factory Recovery Make Your Own Factory Image?

Jan 12, 2009

I have been given an Acer 6930G by a family member to setup. After realising there's 0 discs included with the laptop, the Acer pop up message tells me I have to make my own factory default image. I have successfully made it on 2 DVDs, my question is now in the manual there is nothing about how to use it, I was wondering if anyone can share any insight to me as to how it works.

Basically I know it is probably a bootable DVD as the root of the DVD suggests (several "BOOT" files) I was wondering how it actually looks like? I haven't tested it yet as the user was extremely desperate to get it running so I had to give it up the moment the DVDs were made.

If I put the DVD in and select to boot from it at start up (before getting into windows) does it take me to some sort of custom screen where I can SELECT that I want to reformat and restore the laptop? I want to know what options I am given and I can only assume that it's the same for most laptops.

And I can only assume again, that if I factory restore it, it will come back with Vista activated and all the initial bloatware again, along with all the drivers for it (so I don't need to go track them down).

This is all I need to know, I wish I can test it but I can't even get the laptop back now (until it breaks ...)

If someone can post their experiences with it I will be grateful, this is just more for reassurance than anything, and confirm my assumptions? Many thanks in advance!

EDIT: I have discovered that I can launch that recovery app by pushing ALT+F10, I have managed to wrangle the laptop temporarily to test and have discovered that I can choose from 2 back up options, but I dare not go any further, can someone tell me the next steps? One says factory default, and the other is user's backup.

I can guess that if I choose the first option, factory default, it'll ask for the DVDs I have created? And the 2nd option will restore a backup I made selecting the user option on the recovery app.

When I replaced my customer's screen on their COmpaq- CQ62-219WM and it showing up black. When I shine a flashlight in it I can see the start menu and whatnot.  That means that I need to file a RMA right? I am guessing because the blacklight is out.

Dell :: Atheros Vs Broadcom Wireless

Apr 29, 2009

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there's a big difference between these 2 cards..

I'm looking to replace my current Atheros based one (Dell 1515) with a Broadcom based one (Dell 1510). Both are advertised as B/G/N cards..

Also, when replacing wireless cards the aerials need to be soldered onto the card itself, correct?

Acer :: 5315 W/ Atheros Wifi

Jan 2, 2009

I've got an Acer Aspire 5315 which is paying up merry hell. We 'backgraded' to WinXP Pro because Vista sucks donkey balls.

According to hardware scans the machine has got an Atheros AR5007EG wifi module (though on the back of the shell it says it'a an Atheros AR5BXB63 which means it's an AR5006 not 5007 - not sure what diff that would make).

The issue is this: if I connect to my home wifi router, the acer stays connected for three minutes (sometimes 3 minutes and 5 seconds), then TCPIP (event 4201) appears in the Event Viewer-> indicating that the device has connected again. It does this twice (three minutes between events), and on the third event throws an event 4202 indicating that the card has disconnected. Wireless light is flickering constantly.

I have scanned for malware, and driver scans tell me that the firmware for the Atheros card is up to date.

Has anybody else had a similar problem? My next adventure will be to remove the wifi module completely and use a USB dongle for wifi access.

I'm going to try a new AR5BXB63 driver that I just downloaded from a third source, but I don't hold out much hope, frankly.

One more thing - when the Acer cuhcks a spazz, it drags down the whole wifi network is I use our 2Wire 2701HGV-W, but doesn't if I use an old SpeedStream 4200 modem and dLink DI524-UP wifi router. How's that for odd?

Acer :: Aspire 5050 Wireless (Atheros AE5007EG)

Feb 11, 2008

I got my Acer Aspire 5050 by September 2007 and filled it with many applications already until I found that its performance was depressing. Then I decided to format my computer and re-install the Windows.

After re-install everything, I just found out that I got a separated CD for the wireless adapter (Atheros AR5007EG + Realtek Ethernet) from the reseller. But I already installed the driver from the original Acer CD.

But it appears that the wireless doesn't work properly as the figures for Received/ Sent packet data are very extreme (this morning I tried and they were 126/ 6) <=- is this a problem? It also got timed out when I tried to connect to my home server, which is located just a staircase away, from my room.

When I go online downstairs, putting my laptop 2 metres from the router, the connection is going just fine.

I tred to install the driver from the separated CD and even searched for the newest update of the device on the internet, but both didn't really help. I got good connection only after I installed the drivers. But after I turned off the laptop for several hours, it couldn't connect to the internet just as before.

HP G71 Networking :: Atheros AR9285 / Windows Can't Connect To Hidden Network

Jan 5, 2010

I have an HP G71 laptop with an Atheros AR9285 WiFi adapter.  I am trying to connect to a Netgear WGT624v3 router.   It was working but stopping.  I can connect with other wireless devices and my laptop has good signal strength of the network.  I was hiding the SSID but I turn it back on.  This did not fix the problem.  I had an access list set up in the router but turned this feature off.  This did not fix the problem.  I turn off my Norton firewall.  This did not fix the problem.  When I ran the update driver, it said the drivers were up to date.  When I ran the diagnostics on the adapter, it said the network connection was not connected to the adapter.

HP Recovery :: Compaq 6510b With Vista - Factory Restore?

Nov 26, 2014

I'm trying to factory restore my HP Compaq 6510b with Vista. I've not got a recovery disc & laptop didn't come with 1 either. F11 option doesn't work however F8 allows me to access the Advanced Boot Options however there is no repair your computer or system recovery option on the menu.Also there is no recovery manager when searching at the start menu.System restore option doesn't seem to be much supportive as the date available only seems to be in the last few days.Am I wasting my time trying to factory restore or is it time to finally upgrade my once trusty & reliable laptop?
