    • Start by using a spudger or plastic opening tool to remove the bottom cover.

    • When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that's ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.

    • Once enough of the glue is removed, peel the cover off by hand,

    Careful as the rubber bottom rips extremely easily. Be very patient.

Where do you source the replacement wifi card?

cterrell9 -

great piece of advice. After some searching I found this on ebay.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Atheros-AR500...

or type in search bar Atheros AR5008 AR5416 Mini PCI N 802.11N 300M WIFI Wireless Card Dell ASUS SONY.

It cost me around £10.00 and seems to be working fine now after installation
