So I've been using a dell Inspiron 15 5000 series laptop which has not been connecting to the router. Opening the back of the laptop has shown me that the antenna cords that hook up to the wireless card had been disconnected. This leads me to my situation, I cannot reconnect the wires as there is a gray plastic part holder that I cannot remove. In other words, I REQUIRE ASSISTANCE. Anyone happen to know a solution? |

Before dismantling did you even attempt to uodate drivers? Or download the drivers on an different system and install them to a usb and add to pc |

a couple things u can do 1 get a usb wireless adapter dongle theyre like 20 bucks 2 use a precision/mini needle nose plier and a 90deg pick tool and try to fish it out. u gotta be real careful not to damage the wire tho, the wires are extremely thin and dell makes those wires really snug and dont usually leave much slack. if you look in that little square above the wlan adapter opening, its the white wire. 3 disassemble the case and reconnect it the proper way. its not that hard just remember the thread pitch is usually the same but the lengths might be different |
