Hi,
I'm looking at upgrading my WiFi and WWAN card in my T61 to the following Lenovo parts.
- Intel WiFi Link 5300 - 43Y6459
- Ericsson F3507g Other - Wireless WAN card - 43Y6479
Will these work or will they still throw 1802 BIOS errors since they aren't specifically designed for the T61?
Thanks

You've got it in one.Rambler76 wrote:will they still throw 1802 BIOS errors since they aren't specifically designed for the T61?
They are not on the BIOS whitelist for a T61.
Cheers,

I just got a quote back for the Lenovo parts which doesn't really matter now anyway since they wont work in my T61.
But out of interest here are some prices in $AUD and an ebay comparison.
- Intel WiFi Link 5300 - 43Y6459 - Now superseded to FRU 43Y6495 - $284
- Ebay ~$60
- Ericsson F3507g Other - Wireless WAN card - 43Y6479 - Now superseded to FRU 43Y6513 - $220
- Ebay ~$220
