You're very welcome.

 

Please post back and let us know if you decide to roll the dice, if the Broadcom wifi card worked for you.

Hi:

 

See this discussion.  If you are not willing to take the gamble, then you will have to go the USB wifi adapter route.

 

You would have to confirm that your model has two antenna cables connected to the wifi card in there now.

Here is the link to the service manual for your notebook.  The wifi card R & R procedure can be found in chapter 4.
