VGN-NR38E Wireless adapter problems

[rob_harrison]

Hi,

I have a VGN-NR38E laptop.

Some months ago the wireless stopped working. The switch works and the light comes on/off but the wireless window (Vaio Smart Network) pops up and shows the WLAN/LAN/Modem. The light for the WLAN never comes on.

I have tried updating the drivers and the Wireless Switch Setting Utility and nothing seems to have worked.

I think the wireless adapter has broken and needs replacing.

How easy are they to replace and iof so what replacement to use?

Thanks, Rob.

It sounds like you are right - you nay need a repair.

If you are in the UK then talk to one of Sony's Service Partners - full list here: -

Alternatively, have a look at a wireless card that will fit in your ExpressCard_34 slot. Something like this: -
