x60s can not find MC8775.

#1 Post by deanfirst » Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:16 am

the wan card can not be found in the device manager.
not even in other device.

I try to put the MC8755, then unplug it while the pc is still on, then put the mc8775(without FRU, the bios has been flashed) then it will appear in the device manager. and also I could not find the bluetooth as well. someone help please.

brave man, I didn't think the mini-PCIe slots were hotswappable. If you got a non-Lenovo card to fit it's best PM Zender and get his version of the BIOS to ignore bad cards.

You must do two things:
1) Install a modified BIOS, and
2) Tape Pin-20 of the MC8775 if it does not have a Lenovo FRU#.

An X60/s will not "see" a non-Lenovo MC8775 if you do not tape Pin-20.
