Dell XPS 9570 Wifi connector snapped off

So like many of other XPS 9570 owner, I purchased Intel 9260 mPCIE wifi card to replace the default Killer wifi. When lifting the main connector, I was not pulling it straight up and the PCB connector snapped and stuck in the cap.


Luckily I have access to a microscope. With some effort I was able to take the piece out without causing too much damage to the pigtail. Now everything is back and seems to be functional.

Lesson learned: swapping wifi card involves some risk factor. I probably would not do that if given another change.

You can see the snapped UF.L connector and the metal piece on the right (I dig out of the cap)

 

Hey Coldfire1, I am currently also experiencing this exact same issue with my 9570 - what tool(s) did you use to “dig” the piece of the PCB connector out of the wifi pigtail? Thanks

 

Utility knife and fine tweezers. Magnifier is a must. A good stereo microscope is even better.
