Einleitung

If your Samsung Captivate is not connecting to the network, one problem could be a faulty antenna cable. Replacing this part is very simple and can be accomplished by anyone.

  1. EybUoyOHCfFVhKId

    • Remove the back cover by pressing on the bottom section of the phone and sliding the bottom piece downward.

    • Lift up the back cover.

  2. QTmnfmmV1NUlLDEt

    • Place your finger on the bottom of the battery and lift to remove.

  3. dZLFWq1tnZfZ3pMw

    • Replace the old battery with the new one.

  4. jXmfv2gShBUAliBW

    • Insert the spudger underneath the bottom section of the phone.

    • Gently lift and push the spudger to slide the bottom section down to reveal two hidden screws.

  5. JBrMmkHFGr6MQu2B

    • Remove the six 4.5mm #000 Phillips screws.

    • Starting at a bottom corner, use the spudger to separate the rear case from the front display.

    • Move the spudger towards the top on both sides. The plastic opening tool is easier to use for this step.

    • Be careful when detaching the top. Free each side, stopping short of the center of the cover. Apply backward pressure on both corners with a finger applying pressure on the center, and slide the whole back cover toward the bottom of the device. Note: forcing the cover can result in cracked plastic.

    • Use a spudger tool to pry up the antenna cable from the connector on the motherboard.

    • Pry up the other end of the cable from the connector on the antenna array.

Abschluss

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

Quick question, is this the antenna for wifi or cellular network?

Michael Perdomo -

This is actually just the cable that connects the motherboard to the antenna array. I believe the antenna array that it connects to is for WiFi though.
