Before removing the WWAN module, follow these steps:

2.Disconnect all external devices connected to the computer.
3.Disconnect the power from the computer by first unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet and then unplugging the AC adapter from the computer.
4.Remove the battery (see Battery on page 46).
5.Remove the memory/WLAN module compartment cover (see Expansion memory module on page 54).
6.Release the keyboard (see Keyboard on page 62).
Remove the WWAN module:
1.Disconnect the WWAN antenna cables (1) from the terminals on the WWAN module.
NOTE: The red WWAN antenna cable is connected to the WWAN module “Main” terminal. The blue WWAN antenna cable is connected to the WWAN module “Aux” terminal. If the computer is equipped with an HSPDA WWAN module, the red WWAN antenna cable is connected to the only terminal on the module.
