HP Pavilion 15-cs3065cl WiFi Module Upgrade/Replacement

First thing you'll do is flip it over, remove any SD cards, USBs, and remove any case.

There will be about 6 screws you'll need to remove.

You will have to at least partially remove the rubber feet to access 3 of the screws.

The screws are really tiny, so I recommend putting them in a Tupperware or Ziploc if you don't have a magnetic screw tray.

You'll use a credit card, ID card, or pry tool to separate the bottom of the laptop from the rest of it. Make sure it's plastic, not metal.

You might want to use multiple to hold sections open as you work your way around.

You remove the bottom to reveal the guts.

Find the WiFi module.

Detach the antenna cables.

Unscrew the screw.

It will pop up once it's unscrewed. That's normal.

Pull the module out.

Put in the new module.

You might need to push the end to get it to seat.

Push it flat and screw it in.

Reattach the antenna cables.

They should have labels "1" and "2" on the cables. Attach them to the points labeled "1" and "2" on your new WiFi module.

They're teeny-tiny snap buttons, like miniature versions of what you'd find on a jacket.

Make sure they snap on properly, you might need to use your thumbnail. You can give them a gentle tug to make sure they're actually attached.

Snap the lid back on

Put the lid screws back in

Stick the sticky rubber feetsies back on

Plug back in any SD cards, USBs, and put your case back on if you have one
