ID: 105121
Description: This guide covers the accessing and replacing...
Steps:
- Begin by placing your laptop on a clean surface such as a table and away from any liquids which may spill and damage components.
- Flip the laptop over so the bottom is facing up.
- Use your Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the eleven visible 5 mm screws on the back of the laptop.
- There are some screws underneath the rubber feet. Use a spudger to remove them and gain access.
- Unscrew the two remaining 2.5mm screws. Keep these screws separate from the first eleven 5mm screws.
- Flip the laptop back over so it's right side up and open the screen.
- Using a spudger, separate the keyboard surface from the bottom of the laptop.
- While lifting the keyboard surface from the bottom, you will notice three cables still attaching them together. Gently unplug each of these cables from the motherboard.
- Remove the keyboard assembly.
- Inside the laptop you will notice the wireless card located in the upper middle. This will be what you are replacing.
- Attached to the Wi-Fi card is a black wire that must be removed. Using your hand, lift gently on the wire as close as you can to where it connects to the Wi-Fi card.
- Once the wire is removed, set it aside so it does not get damaged.
- Remove the screw holding the wireless card in place.
- With the screw removed, gently pull back the Wi-Fi card and then lift it out of the laptop. You are now ready to insert the new wireless card.
