Xelio P1001A-BK Wi-Fi Antenna Replacement

Introduction

INFORMATION ABOUT THE COAXIAL WIRE:

  • The wire that connects the Wi-Fi antenna to the motherboard is a coaxial wire.
  • The coaxial wire consists of a wire insulator (plastic), wire braid shield (middle layer), and center conductor (inner layer) surrounded by an insulator.

The connecting points of the coaxial wire to the motherboard are very small and may require a magnifying glass to see clearly.
