In the event that the WiFi module is indeed determined to no longer be operating correctly, the card should be replaced, and this guide demonstrates how to do so. This process is relatively lengthy, but no special technical skills are required to complete this repair.

    • In this case I did not remove the main PCB because I would have had to remove the DC jack. It is a very breakable connector, and the wires are very thin. If they are broken the laptop will no longer charge.

    • If the DC jack is damaged or broken in your laptop, remove the hinge instead (this is holding the DC power jack in place).
