Introdução

Use this guide to replace the Wi-Fi card in your Framework 16" laptop.

The Framework 16" laptop comes with an AMD RZ616 6E Wi-Fi card. This is also the same model sold on their website.

Note: the laptop used in this guide is a generic setup of one US keyboard, one numpad module, and two touchpad spacers. Your setup might vary, but the procedure should remain the same.

    • Use your Framework Screwdriver to loosen the captive T5 Torx screw securing Wi-Fi module.

    • The module might pop up at a shallow angle when you loosen the screw.

    • Grip the end of the Wi-Fi module with the screw hole and slide it out of its socket.

    • Don't pull the module too far from its socket, as it's still connected by two cables.
