    hi peoples.. i recently brought a xps1530 that came with pre-installed Avermedia AverTV Hybrid Express Slim Expresscard TV Tuner model number: HC82 (DVB-T).. and it also came with a TV antenae.. but i accidently knocked the antenae adapter out of the express card socket for the antenae.. and now the gold tip on my RF cable is missing.. i look and looked everywhere for it.. i even told my mother not to vaclumn clean the area that i was sitting!! lols.. anyways i was just wondering does anyone know how i can get it replaced?? cos my tv on my laptop needs the antenae to work :( would my quickest solution & cheapest too would be to contact Avermedia or contact Dell??

    thanks,
    Loey Mai

    sorry I'm new at this i don't understand what you mean lols.. all i know is that it is the RF Cable - This will connect to a tiny hole on the end of the express card and this connects to my antenna.. & the gold tip/pin looking thingy that connects to the tiny hole on the card, that is what is missing..
