Close your case and give the update a try It’s preferred that you don’t touch the metal layer connecting the adapter to the motherboard because it’s very sensitive. Let’s unplug itīe very careful with this part, you will be disconnecting the card gently, try to distribute your pulling force along the whole card and don’t focus on pulling from one edge.

Once unscrewed, it’s time to unplug the adapter.

So, begin by unscrewing it before you unplug the adapter from its slot. Watch out for the little screwĪlthough adapters are well connected to the motherboard, there is always a screw that locks it tight to the body of the case, so that while you are using its ports, it’s less likely to get disconnected. The adapter may be connected to one of those types of slots : PCI or PCI express, it will be the same procedure but it’s good to know what you are dealing with before removing it: The PCI express is much smaller. If you’re not sure which on is it, use the back of the computer (where the antenna was connected) as your clue.

Inside you’ll see the motherboard with all the connections. Use the screwdriver to open the side of your computer case, and then takeoff the cover.
