Change the make of the wifi unit? Chipset overheated maybe your problem?

    I have experience with USB wifi units that overheated and when downloading software it slows down terribly due to chipset overheating. 10x booster does not help WiFi in general. I use older 802.11/b wifi to get DSSS mode which transmit data faster. /g/n OFDM tends to have too many garbled packets resend, which also slows down data transmission.

SOURCE: Dell Inspiron Mini 10 abruptly shuts down every time I watch video

This is common with the Inspiron line of laptops. It's caused by over-heating. It is an air flow issue. Two things you can do to help alleviate the problem:

First, with the machine powered down and unplugged, use a can of canned-air to blow the vents and fans free of dust clogs.

Second, install rubber bumpers on the bottom of the laptop to elevate it off the surface. This will allow air to flow freely under the machine and in and out of the proper vents and fans. You can get these just about anywhere. They are just little rubber nubs with a self-adhesive side. Peel and stick.

SOURCE: wi-fi is not working..while installing

Sounds that the wireless adapter daughter board is either loose or failing. First, we need to make sure it is making good contact with the laptop's motherboard. In order to do this, we have to do the following:
1. Turn off the laptop & remove the battery.
2. Look at the compartments in the bottom of the laptop. You should be able to see 2 or 3 areas with small rectangular plates covering them. These plates usually have one or 2 screws holding them in place.
3. Check which one of those plates is the one which covers the wireless adapter daughter board. When you find it unscrew its screws & remove it.
4. Below the plate, there will be a small daughter board screwed to the laptop's motherboard, with 2 thin wires attached to it (usually one black wire & the other is a white wire). Gently, remove both wires using a small flat screw driver to pull them out gently. Don't forget to note down which wire connects to which connection point.
5. Unscrew the wireless adapter daughter board & remove it from its slot.
6. Clean both the slot & the daughter board's terminal connectors using a dry electric contact cleaner. You can purchase it at an electronics store.
7. Leave the slot & the daughter board for a while to dry.
8. Re-place the daughter board back in the slot & screw it to the motherboard.
9. Reconnect the 2 wires.
10. Screw back the covering plate.
11. Put back the battery & turn on the laptop. Check if the problem was fixed.

If this did not fix the problem, you will need to repeat the steps to remove the wireless adapter daughter board & replace it with a new one.

SOURCE: i disabled the wireless (wi-fi)

Hi there !

It is not uninstalled, maybe you just disable. Just go control panel and choose network setting and choose network connection and enable it to bring back the icon for wifi internet.

Why do Netflix movies keep stopping?

It could possibly be a slow internet connection speed. Netflix posted requirements. This is a good site to check your speed. http://www.speedtest.net/ Internet Connection Speed Recommendations Below are the Internet download speed recommendations per stream for playing movies and TV shows through Netflix.
  • 0.5 Megabits per second - Required broadband connection speed
  • 1.5 Megabits per second - Recommended broadband connection speed
  • 3.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for SD quality
  • 5.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for HD quality
  • 25 Megabits per second - Recommended for Ultra HD quality
HD Video Quality
Movies and TV shows we have available in high definition will play in 720p or better with a fast enough internet connection. To watch Netflix in HD, ensure you have a HD plan, then set your video quality setting to High in the Playback Settings for your account.
Netflix Bandwidth Usage
Higher quality video uses more bandwidth than lower-quality video. If your service provider applies a bandwidth or data cap to your Internet service, you canManage Bandwidth Usage by changing the video quality settings to Low or Medium to consume less data.

Why Does YouTube Keep Stopping on my ps3

The spinning circle is the video trying to load. This could be due to low internet speed or bad wi-fi strength. Try pausing the video. If you see the grey bar at the bottom let it load for a bit before un-pausing the video. Hope that helps

Need more information to really help you. Are you playing movies in the DVD/CD player of the laptop? Are you playing movies by streaming from Netflix or Amazon or Hulu or Xfinity? Are you playing movies from an external hard drive or flashdrive plugged into an older USB 2.0 port?
Your wi-fi connection may be too slow to stream without freezing. Your cpu/processor may be too old and slow to handle HD video. Your video/graphics chip built-in to the laptop may be old and not capable of handling HD quality video.

I have a question. i want to get netflix for my service. but do i already have to have internet service where i live?

If you want the instant streaming option, you do need an internet connection with at least 500kbps (0.5MB) speed. (kbps = kilobits per second) You might be able to use a public wi-fi network (for example, at a Starbucks) but you might not get the bandwidth to keep the movie going. Netflix also has a DVD-only option, http://dvd.netflix.com/ , which doesn't require a high-speed connection. (You do need enough access to the internet to select movies for your movie delivery feed but using a library computer's network access might be enough.)

Note: if you use a public wi-fi network, you are at risk of someone sniffing out your Netflix password. Make sure that the Netflix password isn't the same as your password for any other account that you have.

I hope this helps.

Nec ready 120lt parts

You need a Type 2 PCMCIA card for this laptop. I was able to find a wired one here. Be sure that your OS will work with the card you choose. Also I have no experience with that website, so buyer beware. Another good place to find older computer parts is eBay, happy hunting.
