    • Use a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the four 4.5 mm screws securing the antenna support bracket.

    This screw bit was not included in the battery replacement kit. Only Philips and Flathead were included.

    • Carefully remove the antenna support bracket.

    • Be careful not to snag any cables. Do not force the bracket out if it is stuck.

    I had ripped through 2 of the 3 antennas when cutting through the top adhesive. Not sure how anyone removes this display without ruining at least one of them.

    I saw on Reddit this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupportmacg...

    It works perfectly! My wifi was one that was cut. It’s now made of aluminum foil and is pulling down 147Mbps and pushing 80.88Mbps up.

    A ce stade il semble important de faire attention au micro. Pour ma part, il avait un résidu de colle entre celui-ci et le support à retirer.

    On my device the mic is glued to the antenna board. I'd recommend to detach it's ribbon cable from the motherboard before removing the antenna board
