    • Use a spudger to carefully disconnect the antenna cables from the card by prying them straight up off the board.

    • It's best to use an ESD-safe tool, such as a nylon spudger, rather than the metal spudger shown in the photo.

    • Note the order of colors for the antenna cables indicated on the card.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
