    Hey all. I need to buy a third internal antenna wire for my 7805u. I'm going to install a half height 5300 card. There was a link to wires being sold on eBay posted on this forum a few weeks ago but I can't find it now. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

    Use the guide for installing Blurtooth card. As for the LCD, remove the pads, screws, then gently slide the brezel (holding it mid-way) to the right or left. Once one side "pops" free, do it in the opposite direction to free it up competely.Then you can run your wire around the screen. Install just the reverse of removal. I changed out the 5100 for the 5300 and am glad I did. Good Luck.
