    Hey guys anywhere i could come across the antenna wires for the 15 r2, as the tabs came of my killer wireless card doing a repaste as they were stubborn and the tabs on the killer card seem very brittle. Tryed digging the reminisce of the tabs out of the old wires but seemed to have buggered them up aswell.... preferably in canada.

    thanks

    You need to replace the entire panel.

    hey one of my previous alienware had same issue, i just bought the antenna myself from local laptop repair shop, its not the same, but its from another Dell XPS model, its the same module.. just make sure you get the antenna with longer cable, otherwise you have to replace the whole LCD backcover.. which would cost you around 50-100USD depends on the seller..
