Einleitung

Is your laptop having wireless connectivity issues? Your wireless card may be faulty. This guide walks you through the process of removing the wireless card so you can replace it and get back to surfing the web.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Flip your device so that the bottom panel is facing up.
Remove the eleven 5mm Torx T5 screws from the back panel.

Your list of t7 screwdriver costed me to order a wrong one.

it should be T5 but the ad listed T7!!!!!

it is frustrating.

Lift the back panel off

The back panel is also held on by a few clips, but a spudger can come in handy here.

The clips on the sides are between the USB ports on the left side, and just in front of the USB port on the right.

Schritt 3

Remove the two 3mm Phillips #1 screws holding the battery to the laptop chassis.
Disconnect the battery from the IO board by holding the connector by the sides and gently pulling the connector out.

The left screw is hidden below a tamper-evident sticker.

There is a plastic channel along the right edge of the battery that has wires running through it to a different board. It works best if the other connector next to the battery connector is unclipped and those wires are taken out of that channel.

Schritt 4

Carefully remove the battery from the laptop.
Make sure that all wires still connected to the laptop are out of the way and not pulled out with the battery.

Along the right edge of the battery, there is a channel with wires running to a connector next to the battery connector. It works better to disconnect that connector too and fold the battery to the right.

Re: the above “fold the battery to the right” comment: If all you’re doing is replacing the touchpad, the “fold over” method works as it keeps the wires in the channel. If you’re replacing the battery or whatever those wires connect to, obviously that won’t work.

Schritt 5

Place the laptop with the LCD facing down so that the hinges face opposite you.
Disconnect both ends of the two blue ZIF (zero insertion force) connectors in the upper left corner and by gently flipping the black tabs on the connector and pulling up and away from both ends of the connectors.
Do not pull on the blue tab of the cable without lifting up the black tabs on the connectors. The cable should slide in and out effortlessly. If there is resistance when pulling the cable, double check the black tabs.

Schritt 6

Unplug the black and white wireless LAN cables in the upper left corner by gently pulling upwards.
To reinstall a wireless LAN card, note that the black cable goes to the MAIN jack, and the white to the AUX jack.
