How to remove wwan display component?

#1 Post by ssd_thinkpad » Thu Apr 21, 2011 10:29 am

On my T60 display, I have installed the wwan antenna box on the right. As I do not use wwan any more, I want to remove it. I opened the display, but did not figure out how to remove it.

I installed this antenna in my T60, and with the LCD bezel off, all I did was to remove the blanking plate/cover and push the antenna device from the front side and in towards the back. It didn't make any distinct "click" when it got seated, so you should be able to just push it back out quite easily. I am not sure if any piece of it ended up behind the LCD panel, as I had the LCD out at the same time for another reason. But since the bezel is off already, it's not so much more work to loosen the LCD panel. But do just try to pull the antenna out first. Be aware of the cable that goes through the right hand hinge, and down to the WWAN card.
