I have an XDA Atom, it falls down on the floor and the screen broken
then I bought one from ebay and change it myself
but For no apparent reason the Wi-Fi stopped working, do hard reset and this time there's no WiFi even on the wireless manager, it's gone!!
Do O2 self diag gives me "Get Adapter Info () return FALSE"

Any other details to help me solve this?

try to reflash the unit, if you can't still use wifi. It could have been HW problem and not SW.

reflashing is not working. it's definitely HW issue.
so, do u know where the wifi chip located on the board, just want to look at it for curiosity :p

sorry bro, but the fact that it can be HW issue, then replacement is the only solution or fix with SC and or any technician that is knowledgable with the unit.

well if WLAN is the only thing that's not working, you can just leave it as is. it's better to have a broken WLAN than a paperweight unit right? :D

Hi all,

My wireless is not working. The wifi self diagnostic returns "GetAdapterInfo() return FALSE...".
Can you please help me in this problem???
I have Radio : R060822N_MN2ARC_RS00013

My wifi working sometimes well like may be once in 50 try. So it is not something related to hardware. and at that time wifi self diagnostic returns proper MAC address.
Can you please guide me which radio is latest one for O2 Atom exec and if this is not latest then from where I can download latest.

Looking for response.


Thanks and Regards,
