    Okay so I was removing my LCD screen from my laptop for a repair, and noticed 3 wires, gray black and white, pulled a little too hard like a (one was disconnected and had a plastic cap on it, i figured they were all like that)

    and ripped the wires from my Intel 3945ABG antennae ports, so I just need to know which ones go on which side, if it matters or not, the black and white cables were the only ones connected to my wireless card. so my question, black and white, left and right?

    It doesn't really matter which goes where actually:
    White -> Main or 1 (usually left)
    Black -> Aux or 2 (usually right)

    For 3 antennas type card (Intel 4965AGN, 5300 or others):
    Grey -> 3 (center)

    On my E1505 which has a 3945ABG card, the black wire is on the right and the white wire is on the left
    Mine only has two antenna ports, so I do not have a gray one.
