ID: 87626

Description: If your Dell Alienware M11x R3 has an issue...

Steps:

1. Loosen the eight retaining screws on the base of the computer with a small Phillips screwdriver.
2. The screws have retaining washers to hold them in place, so you don't have to remove them from the base plate.
3. Remove the bottom cover from the laptop.

4. Your Wi-Fi card will have two coaxial cable wires connected to it.
5. Gently pull up the wires to disconnect them from the Wi-Fi card.
6. Be careful when you pull the wires. Pulling them hard or yanking them hard might cause damage to the wire or the Wi-Fi card.

7. Once the wires are removed, use an appropriate screwdriver to remove the screws holding down the Wi-Fi card.

8. When the Wi-Fi card pop ups, slide it out of the socket.
9. Any mishandling of the Wi-Fi card will cause serious damage to it, so please be careful with it.
