Hi guys, First of all, let me recommend that you don't take this thing apart if you don't have to. The plastic tabs are fragile and there is a lot of very strong double sided tape used to keep this thing together (which IMHO is a good thing cause it adds to the solidity of the unit overall)In short, its a bitch to get apart.and so, without further ado:Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

You'll notice there is a harness in the upper left hand corner (with screen facing towards you) that is labeled "com4"

If anybody decides to do this you need to be super careful... it doesn't look like the circuit card assembly is conformal coated which means that ESD (Elecro-Static Discharge) is a bigger problem than normal. Just make sure you're grounded.

Now let's see some hot novel-on-novel action:pAnyways, it looks like our wireless is a standard mini PCI. Anyone know a better Mini PCI we can shove in there that has good android (or linux) support?

Actually, we still have a spare aux antenna on the card. Wonder how much that could help. Maybe try to run an aux around the perimeter somewhere?

nope that metal plate is part of that grayish plastic assembly. The weight is coming from the battery and screen.
