    Where is the wireless card located in the laptop? I would like to know without having to open the laptop first. Where is it in relation to looking down on the keyboard (under the mousepad, by the directional keys, etc.) I'm stickering a "safecell tab" which needs to be within 4 inches of it. Thanks

    1. Release the four screws holding the thermal module cover.
    2. Remove the thermal module cover.
    3. Pull the Mini PCI Wireless card locks at the same time as the arrows indicate.
    4. The Mini PCI Wireless card will pop up then detach it.
    5. Disconnect the auxiliary antenna cable (gray) and the main antenna cable (black).
