wireless system on vostro 3300...

nazi4life,

Try running Finding System Information REMOVE YOUR PRODUCT ID and post the rest of the information back here. If you have XP installed, then Finding System Information will not work.

Have you recently reinstalled the operating system?

Which wireless adapter are you trying to install?

Rick

nazi4life,

Install the ST Microelectronics DE351DL Motion Sensor <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed / replaced from this post by Dell> ,  Intel HM57 Express Chipset Family and the

Followed by the Intel Management Engine and the Intel Turbo Boost Technology

Then install

When you go to Drivers & Downloads click on warranty status, then enter your service tag number. Click on original configuration.

There it will be listed which wireless adapter you need to install. Install the drivers for that adapter, the install Dell OSD utility

This should get you online to install the audio and video drivers.

nazi4life,

Next to the part number there was a description with it...

Example:

Dear Rick! :emotion-1:
Sorry for bothering you so much!:emotion-5:

There remains just two more questions:
Is it necessary to reinstall my windows first and then taking these steps? & how can i know which drivers are related to these wireless adapters:
(M14F5, Y8WH3, RM948, WHDPC)

Thanks a lot for your helpSSS...:emotion-1:

 

Dear Rick!

I reinstalled my windows and then took those steps one by one..

but when trying to set up wlan 1520 half mini card, there appeared an error message again (No compatible harware..)

now i doubt if vostro 3300 has ever capability of  setting uo wireless connection..

By the way thanks again for your attentionS..  :)

Wowww Dear Rick!:emotion-1:

Thanks God you're there to help!!:emotion-5:

I removed my keyboard and surprisingly saw that i have NO WWAN Card!!!:emotion-3: 

I think it's a shame for Dell to let Chineses make such a mess.. 

Thanks again for your kind helpSSS..:emotion-1: 

nazi4life,

Glad to be of help.

Take care,

Rick
