EliteBook 850 G1
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My old and trusty 850 G1 shipped with a WWAN adapter. It has always been working well, and I really appreciate having it on 4G. 

 

Now the WWAN adapter has failed. What should I do to bring it back alive?

 

Recently, I got the 703 error from BIOS during startup (see details below). This happened after a Win10 update, but I don't know if that's what's caused it. There were no hardware changes when it stopped working, no lightning strikes etc.

 

I tried re-installing Windows 10 drivers, updating the Bios to version 1.49, unplugging the WWAN adapter, reboot, power cycle, plug adapter back in etc. Nothing change in the error message. The WWAN adapter is still disabled by BIOS and invisible by Windows.

 

Thanks for any help!

Børge

I'm in the process of buying my next laptop. It will be an HP or a Lenovo. 

 

To keep matters simple, I will let the response of this request be the sole determinator of which brand to buy 🙂
