    • Lift the keyboard up, then pivot it towards you to lay it facedown on the trackpad and palm rests.

    • Be careful when lifting the keyboard up. The ribbon cable connecting it to the motherboard is very short, and the connector is fragile.

    • The top corners of the keyboard may be stuck to the laptop bezel with double sided tape. See rectangles in Image 3. Be careful as you lift the keyboard up and pivot it toward you.

I need to replace the wifi card in one of these laptops and I’d like to get a different brand. What is this form factor called?

deekstercaddy - Réponse

Your tutorial is WONDERFUL, clear and precise. Thank you. Now I need to find a replacement for wifi card. Any suggestions? Thanks so much but I do need to get a new card and I am not finding it too easy to find. Take care and be safe.

Is the Bluetooth a separate module to the wifi card?

batmanc - Réponse

I have the same issue. Couldn’t find anything on the internet. My BT is defective, because it sometimes disables my mouse. This computer was a beautiful and well build, with the great touchscreen, but wireless connections are total mistake from the early beginning. The integrated wifi likes not to find any network. Since 2019 I’m working with the usb WiFi module bought on aliexpress. It is far better than the installed, but sticks out the chassis and took one port.
