kurosagi01 · Oct 21, 2009

So after i installed windows 7 on my desktop,my wireless card which is an AirPace Wi-Fi card,it suddenly didn't work at first,the desktop wasn't detecting it so i opened my rig up to re-fit it and i normally get a green light from this wireless card to show its on but after booting up my,when i go past BIOS the green light disappears..?it happened 2nd time but after the green light never appeared again and i have tried all of my PCI-E x1 slots and its same thing..
Can someone help me please :S has my wireless card actually died on me now

If the light goes out after the bios and during Windows boot, you will need a Windows 7 driver for it.

it never appears at all now,normally the light stays on even when i shut down but in this case it never did appeared and theres no windows 7 driver for it as its a piece of junk old card =( i guess i would have to go back to vista if this is the case

If the light doesn't come on at all now, the card probablly died.

Good thing they are cheap! Buy the cheapest one possible, just make sure it's "modern". Many have them just laying around, you could always just start a WTB thread for one. :toast:
