Ahh, never checked one that old, any newer one I've seen has had it. | |

No John, I THINK what he's trying to say is one of Dell's favourite little tricks is not include the capability and not put the Mini PCI connector on the motherboard. | |

If there are wires there they'll have ends on the, would never need to solder anything like that, fair enough though. | |

iirc yesterday from when I took it apart the wires are there, but no connectors i.e. would need soldering. I'm not 100% sure though. | |

PDF user manual says it has a PC Card - I guess this is the same as PCMCIA? | |

quote: If it has PCMCIA slots then get a PCMCIA wireless card, there fairly cheap. If its a newer laptop then it might have an ExpressCard Slot. They are the same width but the connections are totally different :thumbs: | |

I think I did see wires/port for one of those when I took it apart. | |

My sister has given dad her old Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. It all works fine except my sister has put loads of shit on the 40GB HDD. I want to replace, then use all the Dell CD's to reinstall Windows so it's like a fresh laptop for dad. |
