How to enable wifi on Lenovo 3000 G530?

Question

WiFi

There is an old Lenovo 3000 G530 laptop with Windows 8.1 installed. The laptop does not respond either to pressing Fn + F5 or to changing the position of the wireless network switch, while the drivers are installed on the card, when you try to install the wireless module from another laptop, the BIOS swears that a non-original device is installed. what to do? Installing lenovo power manager also does not help.

Answer 1

1. Check the Wi-Fi module on another device.
2. Most manufacturers make protection against "foreign" equipment by firmware in EEPROM.
3. You can also study in Google the issue of EEPROM firmware for the manufacturer you need. They sell compatible modules
on ebay. PS I myself have an Intel IBM lenovo 5300 N Wireless Wifi update lying around. If the problem is with the physical switch, then tape the 20th leg of the adapter with tape. It will always be on.

Answer 2

Give your laptop a wifi USB adapter.
