Looking for replacement card for Nic integrated PS2, Video and Ether

faulty nic, motherboard replacement required or use a PCI nic.

Open PC up and re-seat if not integrated with mother board. But yes, easily replaceable even if yours is integrated. Simply pop a new one into expansion slot. Check slots before you purchase one.

Easy way to tell....If there is a video jack (VGA/DVI HDMI) on the rear in the area of the USB connectors, LAN connector, and PS2 keyboard/mouse connectors, then the answer is YES, you have integrated video. If the video jack is located in one of the vertical add-on slot locations and there are no video jacks where I mentioned before, then NO you do not have integrated video.

Yes, you can add an PCI network card instead of having the motherboard replaced, unless it's under warrany.

The Broadcom 4401 NIC is integrated into the motherboard. so you can either replace the motherboard (Around $150 on ebay)

or get either a ExpressCard NIC or a USB NIC

Just use a standard pci nic card.

The steady orange Power LED is an indication of a motherboard issue. If the system has any expansion cards (Expansion Video, Audio, NIC etc) try removing them and using the integrated card and see if issue stops, if so replace the associated card.
If no cards, or no change, issue is most likely the Motherboard

what operating system are you using? also, what nic card is installed and what graphics are installed?

Hello,

More than likely this is the one that you need. It is for a Broadcom NIC. If that one doesn't work, they have this one for a Gigabit NIC listed here. I would start withe the integrated NIC divers. Both files have download instructions on the page if you need it.

Hope this helps. Please remember to rate this information.

Thanks

Check for the pins inside the integrated NIC to check if the pins are bent / disfigured. Does not look like the additional card is making any different, looks more like a moving NIC cable is makin the difference.

Lemme know if this helped!
