    For the disassembly refer to
    Documentation

    Perphaps watch some videos on youtube..

    Since I ordered with the killer card too, I did some research and found out there is an issue with iTunes. More on that here:

    Installing the component should be quite easy so don't worry!

    this is a ram replacement video, but everything is almost the same. the wireless card is in the middle under the keyboard, its the one with 3 leads(black, grey and white). take the old card out and put new one in and install driver.
