    • Set the laptop top-down onto the workstation.

    • Remove all screws circled in red.

    • When removing screws, group them by size. The bottom case of the laptop includes a sticker that shows the size of the screws.

    • When reassembling the device, note the numbers by the screw holes and use them to know what size screw correlates to what hole.

I need to know what's role of the cables AUX and MAIN because i cut one

M a n i _001 - Contestar

AUX and MAIN cables are antenna cables. In this laptop there are two antennas, MAIN and AUX.

If you have a soldering iron, simply solder the two parts of the cable you cut and everything is gonna be fine.

I also recommend using shrink tubing to isolate the soldered part.

Note : laptop can work without this câble, but WiFi speed and stability will suffer.

If you can't solder the câble or can't by a new one, you can try to use only main by pluggin the only remaining antena câble to MAIN and leaving AUX unlpuged.
