CF 30 Install New 4965AGN WI-FI Card
Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2013 3:02 pm
Having some difficulties installing 4965AGN Wi Fi Card in new Win 7 installs for two CF 30 purchased off of ebay.
First CF-30 was a CF-30DT which means it did not have Wi Fi. Learned this the hard way. Found out however that the two antennae cables were there. Both connectors had tape on them sitting in empty wifi slot. Does this mean that a 4965AGN can be installed? Are those cables really connected to something? When I took the tape off the white cable the connector came with it. These are really miniature. Tried to fix and ended up (Cutting) shortening the cable. Where does that white cable go? Can I get a replacement white cable?
The second is a CF-30CA which had an intermittent original wifi card. Placed a 4965AGN in the slot. Win 7 recognizes it but one of the two antennae cables are two short to connect to the 1 & 3 connector so I connected to the 1 & 2 connector. Win 7 shows no connection with a red x over grayed out strength bar graphs in that status . Do I have to use fingernail polish on one of the card leads as I have seen on other forums or is it a problem with one wrong connector or both. It the white connector is to short go connection 3, how do I increase the length or do I have to buy the white cable and what ever it connectors to? BTW, the wifi switch is on and the wireless switch is enabled in the BIOS and so is the express card.
Thnaks.
