    You'll most likely be redirected to the DesktopReview Forums.

    When I removed my wireless card, I noticed that the black and white antenna wires were swapped. I don't know if this causes a problem but you might as well open up the case and check. You may need to remove 2 screws to remove the fan shroud to access the msata ports.

    Yes, that's where this should be posted.
