Need help reassembling Wi-Fi Card

No matter how I press the white wire connector it comes off.

EDIT: LOL. I would have had to disconnect it anyway. Still looking for advice on how to put it back in.

OK, putting the antenna cables in is the last remaining hurdle in being able to resurrect my Framework 16. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The current state of things. :frowning:

This video kinda helps to show how you would re-insert the antenna cables.

Install the wifi adabter first then attach the antennas, if one of them really doesn’t hold anymore, you may have broken the connector and need to replace the antennas but that connector is notoriously a pain to connect so it possible you are just doing it wrong and it is actually fine (better scenario than having to run the new antenna wires).

Starting to think I fucked up real bad. I’m going to get an actual repair person to try to fix this.

Worst case you borked internal wifi, as far as fucking up things goes that’s pretty mild. Usb wifi dongles exist and antennas (and wifi cards for that matter) aren’t all that expensive, just a bit of a pain in the ass to install.

Those antenna connectors are the devil though.

Actually, I do have the antennas from the old Top Cover…
