Wifi module cable connection guide?

I asked Framework support to buy the Wifi antenna cables and wifi card again. Then today I have replaced those antenna cables and wifi card, seeing the Antenna Replacement Guide. And now the wifi works! I appreciate the Framework support team.

This is great insight. When my Framework arrives, I will take great care with these connections. Thanks!

Again, great insight! It can be easy to fall into the “I know just enough to be dangerous” mindset and avoiding advice that isn’t solid helps to stay away from that.

@ImaxinarDM, you seem quite knowledgeable on this topic, do you—or does anyone else—know of a tool to make the connection process easier? I’ve got shaky hands and I don’t want to break these delicate connectors accidentally.
Any other advice for the steady hand impaired is also welcome. And just to address the easy answer of having someone else do it, that not an option for me. Thanks!

At my age, right there with you. I use dental picks and something like a mini mahlstick (I made) that artists use to keep their hands steady and off the canvas.

Yeah, I can’t agree more: in my experience with various laptop-related tinkering, I’ve always ended up doing it like you just described, because it’s much easier.

Thank you, I’ve ever heard of that before, but I’ll definitely give it a go. I appreciate the response.
