t43 hard drive and wifi

[ianf]

hello
firstly in bios ,the latest version i have a check choice to boot with just the beep warning and then continue to boot , i dont have to press escape to to continue, i am not complaining but have others found this as well this is good news as it is a bit of a pain to press escape .
secondly .. the dreaded wifi problem i cannot get my intel 2200 to work ,as stated it just freezes the t43 with black screen its fru is93p3485 i believe this is a correct fitment for t43 and the card had been working ok in a t42 , has anyone got the file or link for zender bios update , i have tried several other makes all give no boot to windows or windows boots and the card is invisible in device manager but that intel is the one that locks machine.

thanks ian

Hi,

What is the model number of your T43? I know when I put a Intel A/B/G FRU 90P7301 into my T43 it would not boot. But I put that card into the T41 that I sold and it booted fine.

thanks mnr
i tried zender bios next and that intel card that locked the t43 dead now boot buts, card still would not work 93p3485 (93p3484z1z9ez497jfr) so i guess it will never work in this , i have another card coming from ebay type 2915 see how that works out , also have a BT module coming from a t43 and the new indicator plates , although building up this t43 cost me less than £100 all in with ram etc i wish i had gone for another t60 .


thanks rbs very much
