I just bought a UX50 off of eBay. I always wanted one since I played with one a couple of times in a local shop after they came out, but they were waaay to expensive back then. I already have a Tx as my main device, so I bought this mainly to use around the house, writing up ideas, reading an ebook, checking mail and stuff.
It came cheap because it said is was broken but only the weak battery was mentioned. I thought that would be easy enough to replace, and it was.
Then I found out the wifi doesn't work. :mad: I thought I would be able to fix it easily with the 'tape solution', unfortunately not... I tried pressing the wifi chip in every possible way but nothing helps.
When I press scan, the green wifi light blinks twice, then I get the message: 'interface not found(0x121C)'. I guess this means the wifi chip is really gone? :confused:
Is this easy to fix, or does this mean motherboard replacement for $180?
Are there any MS wifi cards out there that work with a UX50?
So no email checking or web surfing now. Ah well, I really like the rest of the device so I'll at least keep playing with it for a bit :D
