CF-52 Mk1 Low spec wifi problems
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2016 10:14 pm
My uncle brought me his Toughbook to reload. It is a CF-52 Mk1 1.8 ghz, 4gb ram and 80gb hd that he got though his work when they upgraded to newer models. He just wanted it reloaded and cleaned up with windows 7. I put windows 7 pro 64 bit on it for now. (got to find my 32 bit disk) I never used the other install as he said nothing important was on it, but it boots into windows fine but the wifi keeps cutting on and off. If you go to network you can see the Lan, wireless and BT there. But when the wifi shuts off the BT completely disappears. Then when the wifi emblem pops back, you can hear the windows defaut sound for connecton and the Wifi icon lights up and the BT icon comes back.
I tired resetting the Bios to defaults and then saving and rebooting but it didn't work. Next I disabled bluetooth in the bios but that didn't work either. The wifi is still in and then out. Anyother ideas of what the problem may be, bad wifi card?
