How do you physically remove the internal Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG wireless networking card from a Dell i9300? I just got my new i9300 two days ago, and the 2200BG is awful. I have high speed internet, and couldn't even maintain speeds that you get with dailup. So, I have disabled the Intel card, and have installed the Linksys card I was using with my i8500. MUCH better performance. I still would like to remove this card from my system, but I don't know how. I didn't get a user guide for the 9300 like I got with the other 3 Inspiron notebooks I've bought. We also have a Dell desktop, and got a user guide with that also. I don't know if this is something Dell has stopped doing, as I know that aren't automatically shipping Windows reinstallation CD's anymore. I had to request those.
So anyway, does anyone know how I can physically remove the Intel 2200BG wireless card from my computer? Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to purchase a replacement internal wireless card for a Dell? I'd like to dump the 2200 from my 6000. However, I'd first want to know what I'd need to do (firmware installation, etc.). Thank you!
