    How hard is it to replace the network module on an E1505? I have comfortably installed a battery, Bluetooth card, memroy and hard drive. The network module looks a little more tricky though. Anyone replaced or installed one in their E1505?

    I actually meant module as in internal mini card.

    The mini pci card is very simple to swap out. I dont know the E1505 very well but you should be able to access it from the bottom or below the keyboard.

    pretty much the exact same procedure as replacing a RAM module

    err, you mean the network ethernet is not a hardwired chip on the motherboard or intigrated into the northbridge (or was it south?) like most motherboards in the past 3 years?
