Einleitung

If a malfunctioning WiFi module is suspected in an HP 250 G3, it can be detected through the Windows Device Manager tool. In the event that the WiFi module is indeed determined to no longer be operating correctly, the card should be replaced, and this guide demonstrates how to do so. This process is relatively lengthy, but no special technical skills are required to complete this repair.

    • Use a spudger to remove the tape/sticker.

    • Be very gentle as the connector is a hard-to-remove ribbon cable with several small cables. Ripping one of them will damage the ribbon cable, and will thereby damage the screen.

    • It is recommended to use an IC extractor to remove the LCD connector (however, you can use two small flathead screwdrivers or tweezers to slide the connector out of the socket).

    • Remove the golden antenna cable from the socket. Be very careful, and use a spudger.

    • Remove the screw.

    • The WiFi module will jump up when the screw is removed. Slide the WiFi module out.

    • Wear gloves to avoid touching the antenna or the antenna sockets.

    • To install the new Wifi module, slide the new WiFi module in, push it down, and drive the screw back in.

    • Reattach the antenna.

    • In this case I did not remove the main PCB because I would have had to remove the DC jack. It is a very breakable connector, and the wires are very thin. If they are broken the laptop will no longer charge.

    • If the DC jack is damaged or broken in your laptop, remove the hinge instead (this is holding the DC power jack in place).

Abschluss

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