HP Stream 13-c002dx Wireless Card Replacement

Step 1 Keyboard



• Begin by placing your laptop on a clean surface such as a table and away from any liquids which may spill and damage components.
• Flip the laptop over so the bottom is facing up.
• Use your Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the eleven visible 5 mm screws on the back of the laptop.
• There are some screws underneath the rubber feet. Use a spudger to remove them and gain access.
• Unscrew the two remaining 2.5mm screws. Keep these screws separate from the first eleven 5mm screws.
Step 2




• Flip the laptop back over so it's right side up and open the screen.
• Using a spudger, separate the keyboard surface from the bottom of the laptop.
• While lifting the keyboard surface from the bottom, you will notice three cables still attaching them together. Gently unplug each of these cables from the motherboard.
• Remove the keyboard assembly.
Step 3 Wireless Card
• Inside the laptop you will notice the wireless card located in the upper middle. This will be what you are replacing.
• Attached to the Wi-Fi card is a black wire that must be removed. Using your hand, lift gently on the wire as close as you can to where it connects to the Wi-Fi card.
• Once the wire is removed, set it aside so it does not get damaged.
Step 4
• Remove the screw holding the wireless card in place.
• With the screw removed, gently pull back the Wi-Fi card and then lift it out of the laptop. You are now ready to insert the new wireless card.
