    hey,

    i have a DV2000 (DV2020CA) and i noticed the wireless was not so good (ie weakest signal strengths), a quick google and i found out the issue was the card... so i pulled one out of my ASUS F3SV (WM3945ABG) and i put it in THANKFULLY, there was no 104 error, but i cant turn the wireless on anymore. the actual physical switch that turns on the wireless doesn't turn blue it just stays orange...

    any ideas?

    EDIT: would i have to cover one of the pins?

    Yes, but normally that prevents the notebook from booting at all. I'm puzzled as to why neezee's notebook boots but ignores the wireless card. Is it showing up in Device Manager?
