I decided to take apart my old toshiba a300 laptop since it is broken. I wanted to remove the whole lcd and use it as a headless server or a media pc, only to find out that the antenna cables are fitted into the the lcd. Is there a way to remove the cables inside the lcd and put them elsewhere?

It is possible - you can either disassemble the LCD and detach antennas there or simply disconnect them from a Wi-Fi card and pull them out while removing the screen (it might take some fiddle depending on how these are routed inside). Then simply buy new antennas on eBay (these are cheap) and attach them.

I managed to successfully remove them from the screen, now i have to attach them somewhere!

Just remember that antenna is the metal bit at the end - the rest is just cable, so it's important that the antenna be placed somewhere where it would get good signal and the cable leading to it would not be placed near devices that would cause interference.
Alternative solution would be simply using an Ethernet cable or buying a Wi-Fi USB dongle if the cables running somewhere would look nasty or make a mess of things.pantapanta1 likes this.
