Steps:

1. Unscrew the nine captive screws on the bottom cover of the laptop using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
2. The screws do not fully come out of the back cover, so there is no need for screw management.
3. There are a few small clips around the edge that you may need to pry at to free them. An opening pick may be helpful for this process.

4. Lift the back cover up and off of the computer.

5. Remove the protective film to the left of the fan assembly.

6. Carefully disconnect the gray and black antenna connectors on the green wireless LAN card by lifting under the antennas with an opening tool.

7. Remove the 2.5 mm screw holding the card in place with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

8. Carefully slide the wireless card out of the slot by pulling it to the right.
