Swapping out wifi card

I've never done this before, but seems a lot of others have.

When swapping out the wifi card, how do you deal with the antennae?
I saw when I opened up the AAO last time to insert new ram, that the antennae are kinda built in to the atheros card. Do they come off and just attach to the new card?

how does that all work, please enlighten me before my new wifi card comes in and I dismantle my AAO once more

thanks :mrgreen:

 

Dismantle the laptop, remove the keyboard and upper plastic. Then screw off the card and put it to 45 degrees angle and pull put.
Antenna conectors are not soldered to the card and you can remove it with no problem at all. Just squeeze them thight with your nails and pull. Then connect antenas to new card and put the card back in at 45 degrees, push ih down when you hear "click" and screw it.

Sorry for bad english

 

thanks, i'll try that when my new card arrives and report back with how it went

 

just reporting back, I did exactly as you said and it works great
the AAO detected the new card perfectly fine, and i'm now running an intel 4965agn card
while i had the laptop opened, also swapped out the 512mb ram i'd installed earlier in favor of a 1gb stick i pulled out of another laptop.

thanks for the help!
