xc603 PCI E Upgrade

Ok so I have a XC603-UR15 that I have updated the Ram to 8GB and the HDD to 1TB. Now only thing left is the Wireless/Bluetooth card for the  half-size mini-PCI E slot in it. I would like to update this but I can't seen to find what is needed. I see loads of Used cards for Laptops on the Bay but that don't help me. 

 

So I would like to know where one would go about buying this Wireless/Bluetooth  half-size mini-PCI E with the 2 little Antenas. When I look on Acers website all I find is things for Tablets, Laptops, or Projecters under the Acer name? 

 

Thank you

James

  • Hello James,

     

    Original WLAN/BT board of Aspire XC-603:

    LITE-ON WCBN611AH

     

    This is what you search?

  • Hello and yes that is kind of what I am looking for. However for Desktops there would be a Plate with the 2 Ant mounts and cables that go from the plate to the Card connection inside the Case. 

     

    I would assume that it would be something that I should be able to upgrade and able to buy from some where other then trying to find a Listing on the Bay for one that may or may not work or have all the parts needed to make it right. I know that I can buy other things in my HOBBY life off the Bay where people buy and remove the parts for just replacement. 

     

    I see loads of them cards some being as cheap as 3 USD and a few dollars shipping. But don't do me any good without the rest of the parts. 

     

    I guess it isn't something that is found in the Acer Store or some other Retail company. 

     

    I will just have to keep my eye out and hope I can find one from someone yarding out their system. 

     

    I have one in my Acer Aspire XC600 but it came with Intel i3, 6GB ram and 1TB HDD and the WiFi Card already from factory. 

     

    Thank you for the Help
