I have an HP PResario SR1220NX desktop that needs a new NIC card and sound card. Do they make wireless NIC for this model?

Is the router wireless?

Do you know if it has a built-in Modem, or do you have a separate one?

you can buy just about any PCI NIC card from ebay or even walmart and they should work. make sure they are compatible with your OS. it will say on the box.

If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/joel_63c670a84e9f6a97

no operating system stated, wow, 14 windows and zillion linux. and PS2 OS. even freedos.
I have no idea at all what you have there;.
is this wifi or
Ethernet cable lan connected. tell helper wired or wireless.
then be more accurate as to what is there.

card, what network card, name it, model, and number.
its a desktop and as all desktops vast things can be fitted here.
NIC card PCI, LAN
Wifi card PCI, WLAN
Nic USB dongle
Wifi USB dongle.
'
we cant see what you have there, a photo works or words.

my guess is wifi dead, as most post here, due to complexity of wifi.
if not say so please.

You can install a network card inside the computer. You will need a PCI or an ISA card. (I know PCI network cards are easy to find at most of the computer shops.) See this site for how to install a card: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07111&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=93139 . However you should open your computer and check the space between the devices in the slots in the computer. There is an AGP slot with a video graphics card, 1 PCI/ISA slot with a modem (default specs), one free ISA slot and one free PCI slot. However depending on the graphics card one of these slots may be blocked by the card. You'll either need to get a card that fits the available slot or remove the modem and use that slot.

Here are some PCI 10/100 network cards: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=587&name=10-100%20Ethernet%20PCI/ISA . Most of these are compatible with Win98. I'm not sure if there are any gigabit NIC with Win98 drivers.

Wired and wireless USB NIC adapters exist. However, you will be limited to the USB speed. If you have USB 1.1, that will be really slow. Most likely your computer will require a reboot anytime the connection is lost.

I hope this helps.

(who recently removed an internal modem to put in a PCI gigabit card in a newer desktop than yours. The procedure was straightforward and improved network performance in the household immensely. The failing on-board NIC was tying up the router for everyone.)

go to intel.com use their driver update tool. you can use a USB Flash Drive if your computer no longer connects to the intenet.

You have to install the WiFi card with an Installer before it is recognized by device manager... go to the link below, and download the WiFi driver and install as Administrator. You will need to know your exact model number to do so.. Do NOT just get a WiFi driver that will NOT work, you must get installer version.

You'll need to get an install disk.

Do you mean the CMOS battery? (The little round one on the motherboard?)
In this case, you can replace the battery with a standard CR2032 lithium battery (3 volt, 220mAH rating). You get that at Walgreens, Radio Shack etc.
For how to replace the battery, take look at page 9 of the manual.
If you don't have one, you can download it here.

If you are looking for another battery, just come back here and leave a comment. I will check back and be happy to help.

It sounds like the motherboard is messed up. if it ever lets you enter windows fully, then do a bios update and driver download for you chipset. if it NEVER lets you enter, take it to someone who can hook it up to their machine to see if it's the motherboard or an incompatibe device.

Here is a Compaq document will walk you thorough a fairly lengthy procedure that should solve your problem.
