Compaq Presario X1000 Wifi
It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your Compaq Presario X1000. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to communicate with your home router. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own.
Some clues the wireless card is going to die
- The WiFi drops for no reason throughout the day
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- Your WiFi on your laptop is unable to connect to the internet
