Change WiFi Card Sony Vaio FW11

[sykesy69]

Hi,

I'm not too impressed with my Intel Wifi Card and would like to change it for a Broadcom Card I had in my previous laptop...

Unlike my HP laptop there doesn't seem to be a specific compartment for the WiFi Card...

Can anyone help/guide me on how to locate the card so that I can swap it out???

Any help is appreciated...

Hi sykesy69 and welcome.

I do not know about your particular model but on all the Vaios I do know the WiFi card is under the Palmrest - usually right under the trackpad.

To change it requires major surgery - enough to invalidate your warranty anyway.

What problems are you having with the Intel card and are you using the bang up to date drivers?

Well there's not exactly major problems, but with my HP I had a Dual Boot with Mac and I know that the Intel WiFi Cards are infamous for not being compatible with Hackintosh's...

So I just wanted to change it for the Broadcom...
