Wifi antenna interference

[hardcore]

A while back I decided to keep the wifi card connected but disconnect the wifi antennas. This keeps the display auto dim functioning but still brings about an improvement in sound quality. There are 2 antennas. One of the antennas is connected to the rear chassis and the other is connected to the core infinity board.

Here are some photos of the 250 / 1000 Pro when opened. Please note that it is tricky to open the amplifier and you can easily damage it, as the ADH sticks to the bottom cover and if you are not careful you will damage the connecting pins when removing or closing the cover.



Pictured above is the 250 Pro with the bottom copper cover removed. That black metal shield in the middle is loose and would cover the ADH module.



Pictured above is the ADH module which is 'stuck' via thermal pad to the bottom copper plate of the 250 Pro. It has rows of pins which slot into the motherboard on the opposite side. The heatsink for the CPU is also stuck to the bottom copper plate. I didn't touch both.



Pictured above is the wifi card inserted but with the antennas disconnected. The long antenna cable which goes to the rear antenna socket is picture here with the end covered. I removed and kept the short antenna cable which goes to the core infinity board.
