Possible at add CDC to X22 2662-92U? (Solved)

#1 Post by aceo07 » Wed Feb 15, 2006 2:08 am

I just got a new ethernet CDC for my X22. My particular type doesn't included the ethernet. However, the card from ebay doesn't come with screws and I think the card is supposed to be screwed in. There are 2 holes. Does it matter if I don't screw it in?

It isn't working. Does this mean I have to screw it in? And where can I found screws that size?

Can someone confirm that I need to screw it in inorder for the CDC to work properly? It does detect in Windows, but it won't show a connection when I plug in a live ethernet cable.

After a really quick look at the internals and the card, I noticed that the card needs 2 connections, one to the plug on the bottom and one to a cable ribbon. However, I didn't notice any ribbons that I could plug it into.

My model type is 2662-92U. Is it impossible to use a CDC to add ethernet to my model?

edit: Nevermind, I found the cable ribbon. It was tucked behind the Mini-PCI card. :P Was definitely not like the maintenance diagrams.
