used: http://www.command-tab.com/2006/02/26/t ... error-fix/

made iso cd image

Booted, ran, asked to enter "no-1802", pressed enter

another A:> appears and that is it.

Shut down, reboot with old card still in.

Shut down, install new card.

Reboot - fail: 1802 error

I purchased system restore cds online and reinstalled the OS on this laptop - they had many different upgraded software on them than the previous version. Could this be an issue?

You need to take out the wifi card before you apply the hack.

I disabled it in bios and it worked.

SO, install new card

disable wireless in bios

apply 1802 fix

reboot with defaults

Correct?

[RealBlackStuff]

No.
Remove wifi card, leave BIOS alone, boot with the no-1802 CD/floppy and apply the hack.
Switch off, install new card, boot, install new driver if necessary.

OR

With old wifi card installed, disable wifi in BIOS, boot with the no-1802 CD/floppy and apply the hack.
Switch off, Install new card, re-enable wifi in BIOS, reboot, install new driver if necessary.

No.

OR

With old wifi card installed, disable wifi in BIOS, boot with the no-1802 CD/floppy and apply the hack.
Switch off, Install new card, re-enable wifi in BIOS, reboot, install new driver if necessary.

this is what I have tried.

I will try again. Thank you.

I am trying the "no-1802.com" now.

Do I also make this into an iso and run the same way?

I have tried that, it is not working.

Restoring BIOS defaults wipes out the hack!
Leave the BIOS alone, remove any wifi card, apply hack, switch off, install new card, boot, install drivers.
