    Just in the event of someone else needing help with the 7260hmw card...It worked on a Toshiba P855 series laptop. I did have to tape off pin 20. Somewhat of a job to do. I used masking tape, an exacto hobby knife and a magnifying lamp. It wasn't easy with these shaky 68 year old hands but I did it. On the P855 you won't see the wifi light turn on but the card started working as soon as boot up was complete. The picture in post #19 was a huge help!

    I did not find the solution and following the instructions I have covered pin 20 with a bit of tape (image from post # 19).
    I have finally managed to install the intel 7260 wifi card in my old Toshiba Satellite A200.
    Now, with Wi-Fi AC, the Internet goes very fast.
    And I also have bluetooth covering pin 51.
    The laptop has revived.
    Thank you!
