Does anyone have WWAN under the keyboard pics?

Sorry to be a pain , but I would really appreciate if anyone has any pics of WWAN under the keyboard that they can post up.
I would like to install it, but would rather not do any LCD fiddling. If I could just see where it goes along with the routing, that would be great.

Thanks

Sorry - I should of mentioned that it's the actual WWAN "antenna" (I think it's a flat dark grey/black looking thing; fru number 91P6989)

It's number "2" on the diagram.

Mounts on the underside of the keyboard bezel; wire routes down left edge of unit.

Wow?!?! That sounds far simpler than the LCD Bezel removal. I appreciate your reply, but I have one more question regarding the antenna.
How is it attached/fastened to the underside of the keyboard bezel?

Thanks.

Fits into a contour designed for it -- like solving a little "puzzle"! -- and is secured by one screw (perhaps two; I don't recall).

That seems so easy! It sounds like a 5 minute job! (I hope)

Thank you

I received the antennas today and will be attaching only 39T9647 to the keyboard bezel. I won't be attaching the LCD antenna as I think I may save that spot for a wireless N antenna instead. (I'll most likely pay someone to install the LCD version for me!).

However, I have a tiny problem with one of the part numbers 41W4945....

1) does anyone know what 41W4945 is for?
2) Do I need to use it?
3) Where does it go?

It would of been nice if these item came with some sort of installations instructions ...

Thanks

It's hard to tell the size, but it looks like a small antistatic bag. My guess is that it goes underneath the WWAN card to stick the ends of unused antenna cables in to decrease the chance of a short.
