HP Mini 110 Refuses Ebay Bought Broadcom Crystal HD Player Card

Someone by the name of kepsux has posted up a YouTube video of his dissected HP Mini 110.

In it, he places one of those Broadcom Crystal HD player mini-cards (Broadcom BCM70012) he bought off of Ebay, into a free PCI-e slot. In the end, it was a pointless as there is only one piece of software that supports the card and it only comes with a purchase of a HP Mini XP with the card option. They don’ sell the card / software separately.

He ended up returning both the card and the HP Mini 110 and getting one straight from HP with the card installed from the beginning.

Check out the video.
