I replaced the horrible stock wifi card with the newest Intel one. I was able to easily snap in the white antenna into the card but can’t get the black one to go in. I suspect it’s been bent somehow. How can I fix this? Is there a way to just replace the ends of the antennas and not the whole thing? Thanks!
I had exactly the same issue with the same laptop. I ended up bending the $@$* out of the back connector with zero success. LUCKILY the white is the main connector and the card, even without the aux (black) antennae connector seems to be so much faster than the last card
