Einleitung

If you are having difficulties connecting to the internet and find that your wireless card is affecting your connectivity, this guide will help you in replacing the wireless-n card.

    • Ensure the laptop is powered down before continuing.

    • Grab the cover with your fingers and gently lift it away from the board.

    • Be careful not to break any tabs on the cover when lifting it off.

    This step took me about an hour of careful prying. I didn’t break any real tabs, but tiny rectangular chips of plastic still came off. It felt like the cover had been sealed to the board, so I couldn’t just lift it off.

My Asus Q501L laptop cannot start the wifi card despite having updated the driver and restarting. Troubleshooting returns error Code 10. Did you experience or know how to resolve this problem?

Hey there Tony,

I would recommend first checking the status of the hardware device first. You can view a device's status from the device's Properties in Device Manager. It is possible that the driver is corrupted even though it is “updated” fully and could be causing the issue. If so, remove and reinstall the drivers for the device. It could also be that the WiFi card has a hardware issue. There isn’t really anything I know of that you can do besides just replacing it if that’s the case. If it’s new it might be under warrantee but who knows. Unfortunately Code 10 errors are pretty vague and don’t really give a lot of information. Hope this helps.
