Find the correct part for your Intel Centrino N-1000 device.
I received the Wi-Fi adapter from my HP Pavilion DM4, but it’s no longer functioning. The device isn’t detected at all, and standard fixes aren’t helping. It looks like the hardware has failed completely. Finding a suitable replacement or upgrade is proving difficult since this model is now outdated. Please let me know if you need any advice. Thank you.
Looking up 112bnhmw on eBay shows prices starting near $6 plus shipping. Use the same card or one listed in the service manual for that model (search HP [model name] service manual). Some laptops include a whitelist in BIOS, so they might reject other cards even if compatible. Opt for the original or parts recommended in the manual. If you need the manual, share your laptop’s exact model number and I’ll help locate it.
Hi, thank you for your message. I looked on eBay and Amazon and found many items under 112bnhmw, but all the ones I’ve seen so far mention they won’t work with HP laptops.
HP 572520-001 112BNHMW b/g/n WiFi intel Link 1000 300Mbps Wireless Card is listed on eBay. Similar listings appear for the same model. Providing the precise part number will help identify compatible HP components, typically referenced in service guides.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. Your HP Pavilion DM4 with serial number 1177ee is under consideration. Please let me know if you need further help.
The service manual covers the entire DM4 series. Page 36 details the component replacement guidelines. Chapter on wireless modules begins on page 38, listing approved options: Atheros 9485GN 802.11b/g/n, Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n, and several Bluetooth adapters. For parts availability, search these numbers on eBay. Consider the 6230 WLAN module or Atheros 9485GN for speeds up to 300mbps. The Intel modules offer higher frequencies but may not match the performance of the other models. Prices typically range around five to six dollars on eBay.
The Atheros 9485 lists as 1x1, equating to 150Mbit. At 2.4Ghz it might shift to a narrower 20Mhz channel width, reducing it to 75Mbit—possibly even less in practice due to interference. I’d likely choose the Intel 6230 instead, as it supports a 2x2 configuration.
