HP/Compaq 802.11b/g Mini PCI Adapter
|
|
You are bidding on an
802.11b/g Mini PCI card. This particular auction is for HP/Compaq laptops
only.
|
| SPECIAL OFFER: BUY 10
CARDS GET 1 FREE! (orders of this size must
ship to a confirmed address if payment is funded through PayPal) |
Installation on most
computers
is a snap (though it takes a little
longer on computers where the mini PCI slot is under the
keyboard).
Installation amounts to unplugging the two antenna wires, pushing two
clip levers, lifting the card up, removing it, snapping the two antenna
wires on the new card, and snapping the new card back in place.
It
took no more than 5 minutes in our Dell 8600.
|
| Most laptops that
did
not come with an internal wireless card already have the wireless
antenna installed; you just need to install a card and plug in the one
or two antenna connections (most laptops have two; the Intel card will
choose the one with stronger signal). You will typically get much
better
signal
with an internal wireless card than using a PCMCIA or PC Card. |
| Please check compatibility
with
your laptop. These cards should work in
the mini PCI slot in most newer laptops, but we do not guarantee that
it
will be compatible with yours. Returns will be handled in the form of
an identical replacement card. |
| Recently, HP, Compaq, and IBM
have implemented a BIOS lock that is
intended to force you to buy your card from them. For IBM
laptops,
there is a CMOS modification available on the net that should help you
circumvent it or you may purchase an IBM
specific card from another one of our auctions here.
Be advised that we are not responsible if the CMOS modification voids
your warranty. The
HP/Compaq cards in this auction have an HP/Compaq ID.
|
Note,
if you receive the "error 104" message on your HP or Compaq laptop (and
you've purchased one of these HP/Compaq cards), you may need to upgrade
the BIOS on
your laptop to the newest revision. While upgrading your BIOS is
quite
routine, follow your manufacture's directions exactly and if you are
doing a BIOS upgrade from within Windows, DISABLE YOUR VIRUS CHECKER
until after it is installed. BIOS upgrade issues need to be
handled by your laptop manufacturer. While uprading your
BIOS may be neccessary for these cards to be recognized, we take no
responsibility for it and upgrading your BIOS is done at your own risk.

| Here is a very detailed video
of how to replace a Mini PCI modem or
10/100 NIC card in a laptop. While it does not show the
installation
of an Intel Wireless card, I think it is a valuable illustration of the
ease at which this card may be installed. Please
note that the wiring harnesses pictured in the video are not
pictures
of the wireless antennas (there are ample pictures below of what the
antennas look like). If your laptop has a wiring harness, you
will
need to just push it aside. The antenna (for instance, the
Dell 8000
has only one antenna; attach it to the connection labeled "Main") or
antennas (like most newer laptops) are the only things that
attach to
the Mini PCI card. |
| If your laptop did not come with
preinstalled antennas, we have them available here! |
| Protect your hardware
during installation with an antistatic
wrist strap. |

Here
are some pictures of how we replaced the Intel 2200 card in one of our
newer Dell 9300 laptops:
|
Download
and install the drivers.
|

|
Locate the mini PCI
slot
on your laptop. On the Dell 9300, it is under the panel that you
see towards the top left.
|

|
Remove the battery
and
disconnect it from the AC adapter if you have not already.
|

|
Remove the screws
holding
the mini PCI cover.
|
 |
Lay the cover
aside.
You can see the Dell mini PCI card above.
|

|
Here is a closer
look at
the mini PCI card. Note the Main and Aux antennas above.
|

|
Remove the two
antennas
(just pull up on the metal connector; they will pop off).
|

|
There is a lever
located
on each side of the mini PCI slot. Push them to the sides and the
card will flip up to about a 30 degree angle.
|

|
Insert the
replacement
card at the 30 degree angle and push the card down. The levers
will move out of the way and then snap into place.
|

|
Snap on the antennas (or single antenna
if you only have one). When properly connected, the antennas
should pivot freely. It makes no difference which connector you
connect them to. If you have only one antenna, just pick one of
the connectors (either one; there is no reason to prefer the Main one).
|

|
Why
should you purchase your card from us?
|
We
have sold thousands of these cards. More than 99% of our feedback
is from internal mini PCI wireless cards. Feel free to read
through it.
|
We
are the only seller that offers to support you after the
sale. We have a software engineer on site to help you with
your questions.
|
Our
cards carry a 30 day replacement guarantee.
Most sellers offer their card "AS-IS" with no returns. Why
is the card no longer in their laptop...perhaps they just got tired of
surfing the net wirelessly and took it out.
|
Our
cards ship from the United States. US buyers will not incur
customs duties (NAFTA does not cover these cards; they are not made in
North America).
|
We
ship fast.
|
We
have the best price and you can BUY IT NOW :)
|
|
|
Notes to
US buyers:
|
All
items are shipped with delivery confirmation (yes, even if you choose
first class mail).
|
Delivery
confirmation is not a tracking number; it is there to confirm when it
has been delivered and nothing else.
|
Despite
claims to the contrary on the USPS web site, they don't update the site
information until your item is delivered.
You should expect this message to appear on the USPS web site until you
receive it:
"The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper or
shipping partner on [Month DD, YYYY] to expect your package for
mailing."
|
| If
you buy a large quantity of these, we reserve the right to upgrade your
shipment method to UPS Second Day Air at no additional cost to you. |
| Delivery
is guaranteed on all shipments. If your item is taking longer
than you
had hoped, please contact us. |
|
|
Notes
to buyers from International, APO, FPO, and US Territories:
|
We
will not declare your item as a gift; it is not.
|
We
always fill out a customs form. The final value of the auction
will be the stated value on the customs form.
|
USPS
Airmail and Global Priority mail have no tracking or delivery
confirmation options.
|
Delivery
confirmation is not available to APO, FPO, and US Territories.
|
In
general, USPS Global Priority Mail arrives sooner than USPS Airmail,
but they don't guarantee it.
|
The
USPS does not offer refunds if it takes a long time to receive your
package. Neither do we. If it is taking longer than you
would like...wait longer....we sent it and it will arrive.
|
| Delivery
is guaranteed on all shipments. If your item is taking longer
than you
had hoped, please contact us. Some countries have widely varying
delivery times due to customs and other circumstances beyond our
control. Please be patient if your item seems to be taking too
long. |
