Introduction

Replacing the wireless (WLAN) card may be necessary for resolving wireless network issues. The card is small with delicate wires clipped to it. Be gentle when wiggling the wires and card free from the system since the contacts are delicate and can affect wireless performance.

When working with electronic components, we recommend wearing an electrostatic wristband, it is possible for the static electricity present on you to discharge onto one of the components, wearing one of these wristbands and clipping it to a piece of metal will prevent this from happening.
