Dell Inspiron 530 wireless network problem

[mikehende]

Hey guys, this is my son's pc, wireless net worked fine all these years but now works intermittently, I uninstalled the driver and tried reinstalling but I am getting what is showing in the attached screenshot which is "No compatible hardware found", any ideas please?

I can't see your screenshot very well, Mike, it's too small.
It looks as if the DM has all yellow bangs?

If that's the case, it's probably a bad mobo.

If all the yellow bangs are showing under wireless, the card is bad.

Oh sorry, there isn't any "bang" under Networking and only bang on the system is "SM Bus Controller" under Other Devices

Have you tried reinstalling the chipset?

 

[mikehende]

No, chipset did not make a difference

It's got to be a bad motherboard then.
