Introduction

Make sure you disconnect the battery before working by removing the WiFi card for safety reasons and so the laptop has a less change of getting damage while working with it. This is seen in the guide on how to replace the battery found here.

What you need

Step 1

              Wi-Fi Card

Turn the laptop so that the back cover is visible and facing you. Make sure it is on a flat surface, such as a table.
Using a standard PH0 Phillips-head screwdriver, work your way around the edge removing the 6mm screws along the way.
Once all the screws are removed, you should easily be able to remove the back cover. This can be done by hand or by using a Spudger as seen in the tools list.
Once the back cover is removed, make sure you disconnect the battery cable.

Step 2

Disconnect the white and black antennae from the Wi-Fi card.
The Wi-Fi card is located on the left side of the laptop when it is flipped to see the bottom of the laptop.
The antennae should snap off upwards easily with a pry tool so the antennae and Wi-Fi card no longer connect.
