Can I replace 15-ak013tx Wi-Fi module ax200??

[dudanr]

 It's an old model called 15-ak013tx, but I was told that ax200 is not compatible because of the whitelist, can I replace it?

HP does not provide any information on what notebooks have BIOS whitelists or not.

Most HP notebooks made in 2014 or later do not have BIOS whitelists, so the AX200 should have a good chance of working in your notebook.

You want this part number:

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 802.11ax 2 × 2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.0     HP part # L35282-005

Below is the link to the service manual:

My laptop is from October 2015 and I'm looking to buy a Wi-Fi module like the picture, is it compatible?

Yes, if the notebook doesn't have a BIOS whitelist (which I doubt it does), that is the right card.

Notice that on the card's label, the SPS # matches the HP part number I posted.

Thank you, and I'll try it after I buy it! Thank you again!!

You're very welcome.

Please post back and let us know how your notebook's Wi-Fi card upgrade project went.

Thanks to you, I replaced it. It's well recognized, and the speed has increased slightly by Google's internet speed measurement. Thanks to all the feedback, I put it into practice with confidence. Thank you again

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance, and thanks for letting us know that the Intel AX200 works fine in the 15-ak0xx model series.
