UNSOLVED
Inspiron 8200 Problem
Hello,
I am trying to install a wireless network card via my PCMCIA slot and it doesn't seem to be working. The card is a D-Link DWL-650+ and the problem is that the slot isnt reading the card because the indicatior light on the card doesn't turn on. I already downloaded the most up to date drivers for the card and uninstalled and reinstalled both PCMCIA slots but nothing seems to work. Can anyone please help me? I think it might be a problem with the slot, but I am not sure.
Thank you.
- Thanks for your reply. The card is good because I tested it on another laptop. However, I thought it would have been a slot problem but I find it weird that both of the slots are not working. Is there no way to troubleshoot that? Is it an internal issue?Thanks
When you plug it in, if nothing is showing up in the device manager, then it is probably a bad slot or a bad card.
If something is showing up, but it isn't working, that is probably a drivers issue.
Perhaps it's a stupid question, Why this? Could you give more detailed description?
