Default I6000 and I9300 motherboards

My 'fixed' I6000 has already died.


I'm confused. I thought it was fixed this morning. Did it die
again?


Yes, it did. Turns out my repair of the power connector wasn't
successful. I can sort of get it running but I'm having wireless
problems now.

Not sure it is worth it.


You use the miniPCI card for wireless? Or is it the PCMCIA (cardbus).

Sometimes when you pull the motherboards out, the slots and cards come
loose. No big deal, Pull the miniPCI card out and re-seat it. You can
do the same with the PCMCIA slot, though it's finickier.


Unless.... does it now have other problems?


Don't lose heart just yet. Although... it may be better to wait a few
day before going back in, to lessen the frustration factor.


It's a miniPCI and I've tried every trick in the book. The biggest
problem is that it won't consistently charge as the connection on the
motherboard is toast.

For now, it goes in a drawer. I ordered its replacement today.
