    • Using your finger, remove the battery connector using the handle found on top.

    • You do not need to remove the connector completely from the laptop. Doing so may result in damage to your computer. Instead, pull the handle so the connector is suspended above the pins.

    • Carefully remove both antenna connectors. Ensure that you pull the antenna connectors straight up from the socket.

    • Using angled tweezers, hook one end of the tweezer under the connector. Set the other side at the end of the connector on the WLAN card. Keeping the tweezers flat, lightly squeeze.

    • These connectors are extremely fragile; ensure that they are aligned properly.

    • For reassembly, ensure that the antenna connectors are aligned above the sockets and press down gently. There should be a slight click. There should not be tension or resistance while doing so.
