Step 3
Wireless Card
- Detach the small wires connected to the card by lifting the ends straight upward. The wires are held in place by friction and should pop right off.
- These wires should be handled carefully since they’re the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas.
- Take note of which wire goes where, as mixing these cables will cause both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to stop working.
