Click on the photos on the right to see a larger image in a popup window. First, shutdown and turn off the computer. Removing the panel above the keyboard The first problem is to get to the socket so the card can be replaced.
The socket is below the keyboard, more or less in the middle. First the panel with the power button and other buttons has to be removed. It is done by inserting a small screwdriver under the panel at the upper right corner of the keyboard, above the delete key.
On the photo to the right the screwdriver is inserted in the currect position. The right end of the panel can then be raised slightly, and the panel can be pushed slightly to the right, and then raised. Be careful, as there are wires below connected to the buttons. Loosening the keyboard Place the detached panel vertically towards the display not the way I have placed it on the photo Use some object to keep it upright, in the middle. I used my swiss army knife. The keyboard is held in place by two small screws under the panel.
Remove these two screws. Removing the keyboard Slide the keyboard slowly towards the display, applying moderate pressure. It has to move less than 1cm, just enough to release a series of tabs at the front end of the keyboard.
The keyboard can now be lifted up and turned upside down towards yourself. Beware of the band cable connecting the keyboard to the motherboard. Removing the old mini-pci card The mini-pci slot is the opening in the middle. First detach the black wire from the card.
Use your nails or some small implement. Be careful not to damage the connector, which is very small. I assume the wire is for the antenna. On the sides of the slot are two arms, ending in a semi-circular knob. Press these arms outwards with your thumbs, and lift the card with your index fingers. Once it is liberated from the two arms, the card can easily be removed completely. The empty mini-pci slot Not much there, but that is how it looks. You have the connectors in the front, the two arms that hold the card in place, and the black wire antenna.
One antenna is white, the other grey. Not sure if I should just wait a few days. I have no data on the desktop. I know that it works but I stick to the command-line via the serial port! I initially thought they were M2. I got the screws at RadioShack. I installed the card into the mPCIe slot, screwed it in, and added an antenna. My personal WiFi signal was listed but after entering the password, I was connected, but could not receive any data.
If you followed the video, then you installed the driver for LT4 I believe Set the screw aside. Don't remove any protectors for slots you aren't using, as this will let more dust into the system.
Ground yourself. Before handling any computer components, you should ensure that you are properly grounded. This will prevent an electrostatic discharge, which can damage or destroy sensitive computer components.
Grounding yourself with an electrostatic wrist strap is the best way to ensure that you are properly grounded. Connect the wrist strap to the exposed metal of your computer case. You can also ground yourself by touching a metal water tap. Remove your card from the packaging. Gently remove your new card from the anti-static bag, gripping it by the sides.
Do not touch the contacts along the bottom, and try to avoid touching any of the circuitry. Insert the card. Press the card firmly straight down into the slot. Ensure that the card is level and seated fully in the slot before continuing. If you have the space, leave an open slot between your new card and any existing card. This will help keep your cards and components cooler. Secure the card. Use the screw that you removed from the metal bay cover and use it to secure the card into the same hole.
Tighten the screw firmly but not so tightly that it will strip later. Your card will be suspended horizontally when you set your case back up, so securing it is very important.
Close up the computer. Put your computer's side panel back on and secure it. Set the computer back at the workstation and plug all of the cables back in. If your new PCI card adds ports to your computer, such as USB ports or audio connectors, wait to plug anything into them yet.
Install the new drivers. Boot up your computer and wait for your operating system to load. Depending on what operating system you have, the card may be automatically detected and installed. If not, insert the disk that came with the card and install the drivers using the Setup program included on the disk.
You will typically need to install drivers before the card will function properly. You may need to restart your computer after drivers are installed. Attach your devices to your card. If it is a sound card, you can plug your speakers in. If it's a wireless network card, you can attach the antenna. Check the manufacturer's website. This will ensure that you're getting the latest drivers for your OS.
