    E1505 built May 2006. It came with wireless B/G. My house is wireless and all other computers work fine. This particular computer has issues.

    I removed the Dell wireless B/G card and installed a Dell NJ449 Draft N card. Windows says that the card is operating with no problems. I cannot get any wireless signal. Any ideas would help.

    Isn't there like a new antenna that needs to be installed as well that runs up the monitor?

    No. The NJ449 Has two leads. I just opened up my newer E1505 which came with a NJ449 and it only has two leads. Not three. I am thinking that the three wires you are refering to are on a Intel card?

    Swapped the card into another E1505. The card is dead. Used the known good card from second E1505 in the first E1505 and it worked great.

    End result. I ordered a new card.

    I have deleted your other thread, both threads could have in one. Also make sure you post in the right subforum. Thread moved
