Title: Remove the antenna
Post by: cnone on May 13, 2016, 06:57:28 AM

Hello all,
I am using my q10 with the ethernet port connected and I want to remove the antenna. Anyone tried this before?

You can remove the antenna without causing any problems.

It will invalidate the warranty, but the best way would be to remove the HDD tray (4 screws at corners and remove SATA connnector) and then unplug it from the mainboard. The plastic antenna itself can be unclipped from the casing easily.

Man that was easy with your guidance. Thank you. Now I removed the chunky antenna and the unit is compacted ;) No wi-fi issues as of now.
