Administrators Hervé Posted June 2, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2018 As I said, you either look that up on HP's web site or on the Net. Look up for specs and/or spare parts. Can't do better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted June 2, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2018 Do you know what a whitelist is? In case you do not, as an opposite to a blacklist which defines a set of rejected/denied items, a whitelist defines a restricted list of authorized/supported hardware. On a computer, it's invisibly embedded in BIOS and, in the case of wireless cards, it's a set/list of models that will be supported, anything else being unsupported. If you install an unsupported wireless card, you computer won't pass POST and won't boot. If you have a wireless card flying around, try it and see if it's accepted. If you do not have anything look for your HP model's spare parts list/catalog on HP's web site. The only alternative to whitelists are patched/hacked BIOS in which they've been removed.
