HP Compaq 515 Wireless Card Replacement

Introduction

Removing the wireless card takes some focus but it isn't very difficult. The only tool needed for this replacement guide is the PH00 bit. Don't worry about losing the first two screws that get unscrewed because they are attached to the device for your convenience. The two 0.4 cm screws are not attached to the device so make sure to put them in a safe place. Make sure the device is off before starting this guide. The Hard Drive Replacement Guide is a prerequisite to this guide so be familiar with that guide before beginning.
