Difficulty

Steps

Time Required

15 - 35 minutes

Introduction

If your Acer Aspire Go 15 AG15-31P-3947 is having problems such as slow internet speeds, frequently dropped connections, or inability to detect available networks. This guide demonstrates how to replace the Wi-Fi card.

Tools

Step 1

Before you begin, power off your device completely and disconnect from the charging adapter.
Flip the laptop over so the bottom is facing up.
Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove ten 5.6 mm screws from the back panel.
Place the end of an opening tool in the seam between the bottom and top case and slide it around the perimeter to release the clips holding it together.
Use a few opening picks in the seam to keep the clips from reattaching.
Remove the back panel.

Step 2

Use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the battery connector to "walk" it out of its socket on the motherboard.
It may take a lot of alternating before the connector comes out. Be patient, and don't pull on the cables.
To reconnect the cable, align the connector and use a spudger or clean fingernail to push it fully into the socket.
Don't push on the cables themselves, or you may damage the connector.
Lift the battery upwards to remove it from the device.

Step 3

Slide a thin, ESD-safe pry tool or angled tweezers under the metal neck of the white coaxial cable connector (as close to the head as possible) and lift straight up from the board.
Repeat to disconnect the black coaxial cable connector.
