Windows 10: WiFi not working after replacing WiFi card [BCM94352HMB]

This is my first time posting so i hope its in the right place. Here it goes:

I have just replaced my WiFi card from (BCM943228HMB) to BCM94352HMB. Before replacing my WiFi card i done the following:

1. Made computer boot in safe mode with networking.

After that i replaced the card, then booted into windows 10 (safe mode with networking) and checked device manager. Everything was OK (See attached picture). I then tried to turn on WiFi, but it does not turn on. Any help is appreciated.



Hahaahahaha don't look at the other tab *chuckle*Cool

Windows 10 can't be installed on several Samsung laptop models

I can confirm this workaround, replacing the wifi card the problem is fixed. I have a Samsung Q430 and yes I replaced the wifi card with an Atheros from an old MSI Wind U100 and it works perfectly. My only concern is about the poor performance from the old
wifi card (and the card doesn´t have bluetooth, not a big problem for me...). I will try to restore the original wifi card after a new big release of windows 10, I understand this is programmed by the end of the year. And definitly, I will recommend the upgrade
to windows 10, good performance and stability.

Trying to install windows 10 Laptop from 2010, Samsung Q330

Not exactly. Just a screwdiver. Unplug the wifi card, update to Win10, then plug the card in. That's all.

So Windows 10 IS actually compatible with the wifi card - it's just the installation that doesn't work? i.e. After the wifi card is re-inserted Windows 10 will reboot,function corrrectly and have full wifi capabilities?

 

Why are you booting into safe mode? I would connect a network cable to the wired network port, if possible for you. In regular windows, not safe mode, right click on the 802.11ac network controller and uninstall. Right click on the top device manager entry for the computer itself and select scan for new hardware.

 

I tried that, same problem; still cant turn on wifi

 

After doing #1 I sincerely hope you shut the computer and unplugged the power cord and the battery before replacing the card. Not doing so can damage the card and/or the motherboard.

I had a similar problem with a Dell Latitude D810 so rather than another replacement card I used a USB dongle for Wi-Fi, works good and about same cost.

 

Yes i done that

Edit: i am going to make a live ubuntu usb and see if wifi works in ubunutu

 

That's an excellent diagnostic procedure, use it often when working on others' computers. I prefer Linux Mint, now at 17.2, but there's probably 250 or more flavors to choose from. Most time I work with slightly older to old computers so use the LiveCD or LiveDVD version.

 

It works fine in Ubunut...
So that means it a problem with windows... Any ideas? i really want to get working wifi *Sad

 

What is shown for your WiFi adapter under "change adapter settings" in network control panel?

 

Did you try Bluetooth in Ubuntu? Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are usually on the same adapter, if one doesn't work the other may not be working. Or in other words, turn one off and the other is off.

 

See picture:

i have tried enabling it from there but still nothing

 

I can turn Wifi on and off in Ubuntu, but i cant with bluetooth(i dont think my card's blueooth is compatible with ubunut)

Going to try with Linux Mint *Smile

 

While in Windows mode, make sure you have the latest drivers first, not the Windows supplied ones if newer ones are available. Then goto device manager, right click on the 802.11ac network controller and uninstall. Your notebook is not HP, Lenovo or IBM is it? If it is, then that's why it won't work.

 

They now both work after i taped pin 20 and 50:
