Hi, my model did not have the wireless card so I am looking to fit one. Can you tell me exactly where the two antenna cables from the card attach to the Slice, as it is difficult to see from the photograph?
You can see the antenna cable from https://www.laptopmain.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/HP-Elite-Slice-Disassembly-11.jpg
Thanks. Sorry, I meant where do the cables go from the card? Are they attached to part of the case somewhere or are they just loose inside it?
I should have added that my model didn’t come with the antenna cables either.
i can use EXP GDC Beast on this PC?
