Hello,
I have a Gateway NV55S laptop and wanted to change out the wireless NIC for something with dual band.
I purchased an Intel Centrino N6205 and installed it in the laptop. When I went to power the laptop back on...nothing. The Power LED was lit but that's the extent of the activity. When I put the OEM Atheros NIC back in all was fine.
So what's the consensus here? Dead Intel NIC or is this a case of Gateway protecting it's own and not allowing unauthorized parts in their laptops.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
