    Ah ok, I was wondering that too cuz I just had a tech today replace my LCD for the dead pixels and it came with the WiDi antenna on the replacement LCD panel/cover. We thought they sent us the wrong LCD replacement cuz we couldn't figure out where that extra cable attaches to...

    3 cables for the 3X3 intel wifi cards and there would be also another cable for the WiDi card. but the WiDi cable is only included if you ordered the WiDi
