Did you have to install this underneath the keyboard or does your Dell have the panel underneath that laptop that you just open and insert the card?

I just installed a Novatel EVDO card in my Latitude D620. I got some in for testing as opposed to using external cards. IMO, PCMCIA add on cards are much better. You get increased signal and they are easier to swap in/out.

 

Mmm hmm, and was "Frank" from India a big help for you?

 

yeah, just pop it in underneath

not at all...he had to keep putting me on hold for 5min to answer my questions.

 

I should point out that Apples have built in wireless cards AND antennas.

 

he was using a Hindi-English dictionary.

 

so do most laptops. But this is Dell's bottom of the line model. My wife's parents don't have a lot of money and they wanted to buy her a laptop so they got her this one. They only paid $100 for it and once I get the wireless working right it will do everything she needs.

:rofl: I bet he was.





I just took the LCD screen off (it was actually very easy) and checked to make sure there wasn't an antenna. There wasn't . So I picked a pair up on ebay and I will install them next week. Looks pretty easy and now her laptop will have 2 antennas instead of 1. (not that special many laptops have 2 antennas but low end dells usually only come with 1)

 

I should point out that apples are pretty feggy

 

Just tell them you have a dell certified tech in the area and to just send the part.


Bring it to me and I'll do it. It's stupid simple.... well not stupid simple but I've done them and I didn't even finish college. PotatoE.

 

thanks for the offer but you're right...it is simple. I can handle it myself :goodjob:
