I have a problem with the wifi antenna cable of my lapton which I need to replace it. Do you have a guide of how to do it? I bought the replacement but I am sure about the process. Thank you
There is a complete tear down guide available Dell Inspiron 15-7559 Teardown. In the tear down you will see that the wifi antenna is connected to the display assembly so you will need to take the display assembly apart as well. What is the issue you are having with the laptop?
I am having the same problem and I believe I have found the cause. Like many Dell 7559 owners I began having issues with the left hinge on the cover/ monitor. The screws and the threaded inserts have pulled out from the plastic lower case. The white primary and black secondary antenna wires route through or near this hinge and are now broken. Plain as day they are both severed and inside the monitor side of the hinge. I am now trying to figure out were the end of these wires are supposed to attach. Not sure if they just got wrapped around the axle (literally) of the left hinge or are the connected to it by design. Lousy design flaw. Dell should admit this is common and fix it for free. Can anyone point me to a diagram or picture of where the antenna wire connects on the end opposite of the the wireless card?
Uninstall and re-install the Wi-Fi card driver. Note: I recommend using something like IOBit Unistaller that thoroughly removes all traces of the driver and any configuations. Without out doing that corruption may remain and just be re-incorporated with the new driver. In general, I have found, this is often the cause of “mysterious” problems with devices. Especially video drivers, LAN and Wi-Fi.
Hi, I’m having network strength issues with the same model (specifically strength of signal dropping unreasonably fast with distance from source, way faster than any other devices) - I tried reinstalling various drivers, changed the wifi adapter and ran a couple antivirus scans but am a little reluctant to open it up this way Do you have any further ideas of what should I try or would you advise to change the antenna? is there some step in this decomposition that I should be really careful about?
