Attempting to fix a laptop but need some help

[Imgabem]

I recently decided to take on a side project, I had 2 broken laptops and wanted to see if I could make 1 working laptop out of them. The laptops were a toshiba satellite c655d 5084 that the LCD video cable was fried and the trackpad was broken.
Laptop 2 acer gateway nv79 series that had a completely shattered screen and a broken hdd. So what I did was just replace the hdd with the one in the Toshiba and take the screen from the Toshiba and put it on the acer. She boots fine!... The screens just really yellow lol. I assume that's an issue with the video cable. But my real issue is I can't install drivers like the wireless adapter driver. I can't get on the internet via wifi or wired connection. Its telling me because I don't have the correct driver installed. But when I go on a different PC and find the driver from acers site and load it onto the PC it won't still. Anyone know of any solutions?

First and probably most important: When you moved the drive from the Toshiba to the Acer, did you reinstall Windows?

have u wipe ur hdd clean?what driver is not working?

 

[Imgabem]

Hdd was whipped clean, the wifi driver isn't working at all. I've haven't replaced the wifi chip but when I get the driver from gateways site it won't install.

 

[kookie3010]

how about other drivers?if other driver a working it might be your wifi chip.

If that's true wouldn't I be able to see get online via a wired connection (which doesn't work either) but other drivers (VGA, chipset, audo to name what I can remember) won't install either. Most say they are incomparable with the hardware. But I only changed the hdd and LCD so I don't understand how that could be so.

Whoops double post.

 

[kookie3010]

wired(LAN) and wifi connection use a different driver.what os are u on?have u check that its the correct driver for ur os?

 

[Imgabem]

Windows 7 and yes the divers are for win7.

 

[kookie3010]

try an source out from other sites for your driver.also make sure its specific for 32bit or 64bit as 32 bit wont work on 64bit vice versa.

Do you have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 you can install from a CD? That is what I think is going on here.
