Hi ALl, new here

A friend of mine has broken her Broadband port and requires internet access urgently, i told her to get a PCMCIA adapter and that would override the onboard connection for her broadband. She lives along way away from me and i havent seen the notebook but after her going out and buying one she advises me that the above notebook doesnt have a PCMCIA port on it, i cant belive this to be true but maybe it is??

can anyone advise me if this particular notebook does or doesnt have a slot, and if not can they advise me of another way to get her connected to the web without using the onboard LAN slot? USB or someing?/

i cant find anything on the web for it, i think it maybe an advent laptop?

Sorry for sounding a numpty but i really want to get this sorted for her prior to xmas.

andy sensible replies are very much appreciated

Hi,
Here is a link for this model:
Ei-3086

This link contains ALL the info.

Your friend is correct, it does not have a slot.
Is this ethernet physically broken or just inoperable?
Does she have any errors in the Device Manager?

She may have a wireless (internal) card. Some have a Realtek RTL8187 Wireless LAN. The on/off button is next to the power button.

This laptop also has four USB ports, so another option would be a USB Wireless adapter (must have wireless access) or a USB Ethernet adapter (Hardwired)

Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Bill
