Dell X200 Keyboard Replacement

To contact us Click HERE
Well, the old Dell X200's keyboard gave up the ghost. Not entirely, but the good old backspace key stopped working, and it's really hard to use a keyboard without a backspace key.

Happily, it was easy to fix, as follows:

1. Buy a replacement keyboard (I bought my "like new" replacement keyboard through eBay for about $20)
2. Remove the battery
3. Unscrew the six screws from the bottom of the Dell marked with a (K)
4. Lever out the old keyboard from the bottom left. There is a little latch there.
   
5. Before fully removing the keyboard, un-snap the ZIF ribbon connector
6. Remove the keyboard completely
   
7. Slide the new keyboard into place
8. Push the keyboard cable into the ZIF connector; lock the ZIF connector
9. Screw the keyboard back in place with the six screws
10. Reinstall the battery

The end result? My 8 year old Dell X200 laptop is still running strong! It'd be awesome to get 3 more years out of it. Its only real limitation is it's limited RAM.

Fixing Wifi Problems: MacBook wireless card replacement

To contact us Click HERE
For years my cousin was suffering with the WIFI of his 2008-vintage MacBook. His MacBook would drop its WIFI connection every few hours (or minutes), and he'd have to manually stop and start the WIFI on his MacBook to fix it. The bad behavior made web surfing, Netflix, and anything else on-line quite unpleasant.

The Bad WIFI card, as pulled from my cousin's MacBook.
I tried everything to try to fix the problem. I replaced his router, tweaked OS settings, and even re-installed the OS. The on-line forums weren't particularly helpful - a lot of people had a lot of ideas how to fix it with software, but ultimately none of their suggestions worked.

So I concluded that the problem was with the MacBook's WIFI card.

Some of you might think that the MacBook has its WIFI chip soldered onto the MacBook's main board, but that's not the case - the classic MacBook uses a fairly common WIFI card. Getting access to that card isn't trivial, but if you're able to drive a dozen or so screws with care, it can be done.

I bought the replacement WIFI card on eBay. It was a standard Broadcom Mini PCI express 802.11a/b/g/n card with two antenna connections ... (a lot like this one at Amazon) and it was under $20.

I took the MacBook apart, based on the an on-line guide, removed the old WIFI card and put in the new one. I reassembled the MacBook.

We booted the MacBook, and everything came up fine. The new WIFI operates perfectly, and there were zero software changes that had to take place. No special drivers required, and performance and reliability has been better than ever. Interestingly, going into "About This Mac" feature of the Finder shows that the WIFI card type was a "Third Party" card instead of an "Airport Extreme".

If your MacBook's WIFI is persistently problematic, I suggest you think about having your WIFI card replaced.
