    So I'm trying to get access to the slot where wireless card is located... but Toshiba has sneakily hidden it under a large orange ribbon-like cable. I'm not entirely sure how to disconnect the cable to gain access to the wireless card. I've attached a picture below- can someone offer any suggestions?

    Me thinks you lift up the black tab on each of the connectors.

    Yup, that did it! Then you pull the extra clear plastic tab over the orange cable, and it comes out easily. Thanks. Successfully installed new wireless adapter!
