Thought I'd swap the default Intel 2200BG Wireless Adapter with an Atheros one instead and I've just stumbled upon a major problem.
As you can see, the black wire is short by about 1.5cm.
With the previous Intel adapter, the connections on the Mini PCI card were further to the right. Also, the longer white wire connected onto the left connection.
Had a slight tug on the black wire and there appears to be no slack. How on earth am I going to get that AUX wire in?
Could I just get a small wire made up and use it to bridge the connection? Is it possible and would it effect signal strength?
I thought about completely taking apart the laptop and having a further look inside. Maybe I could swap the wires over? Obviously I don't want to be spending an afternoon doing that.
