    I had to take apart my HP G60 laptop to fix an overheating problem, and I got everything back together except for the WiFi antenna cables that are coming from both ends of the monitor. I'm not quite sure where to attach these to get the WiFi working again, but everything else works fine. My wireless card is intact and screwed in, I just don't know where to plug the cables in.

    look closely at your wifi card. there will be connectors that match up to the antenna wires.

    As stated above, on most WLAN cards they color code where to connect the correct corresponding antenna.
