    Alright, I have searched the forums, Sony and googled the web and I cannot find any info on where the wireless card is located in my Sony Vaio VGN-FS550 notebook :confused:

    It's not accessable from the bottom (only the memory & HDD have access panels). Maybe from the keyboard or by removing the entire bottom???

    I am going to replace the card when my new one arrives.
    Please, if anyone has info or finds something let me know!! Pictures a plus!!

    Thanks!

    Replace the Intel 2200 B/G wireless wifi card in my Vaio VGN-FS550 notebook with this one (see thread) http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=34165

    2200 has had disconnect problems from the git go.

    I replaced the wifi card today and you have to remove about 30 screws to get the entire bottom off. The wifi card is next to the memory chips.....for anyone else with an FS Vaio :)
