T510 WiFi card suddenly dead?

#1 Post by MTyn » Thu Jan 18, 2018 9:32 am

The T510 (4384-A78, W7 x64) of my wife does suddenly not have WiFi anymore.
Its enabled in Bios, no light, not visible in device manager and also not shown with Fn+F5.
Did run System Update but no change

Card type is Intel Centrino N1000. Model 112BNHMW.
There is no FRU number on it so think its not original one.

Any suggestions i can do before start searching for new card?

Thanks!

Check the wifi On/Off switch, it should show green.

$10 bucks or less on e-Bay. Don't sweat it, just buy a new one.

Intel 1000 is really lame wifi card. Get either 6205 or 6300 that is for your notebook as lenovo.

Found a used Intel Wireless-N 6200 card local. FRU 60Y3231. Picked it up and installed.. works like a charm again. :D :banana:

In all those years of Thinkpads this was the first hardware that suddenly died here.
Already got my eyes on a used T520 2760QM with LED,8GB and SSD as replacement.. but now its fixed for 12 Dollar.
Wife is happy again and im the man! :mrgreen:
