3. Once all the screws are removed, you should easily be able to remove the back cover. This can be done by hand or by using a Spudger as seen in the tools list.
4. Once the back cover is removed, make sure you disconnect the battery cable.

5. Disconnect the white and black antennae from the Wi-Fi card.

8. Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the 6 mm retaining screw from the Wi-Fi card, and carefully pull the card free to remove it from the laptop.
