Introduction

The HP Spectre x360 13-4103dx laptop uses an internal Wi-Fi card to connect to wireless networks and maintain seamless connectivity for online activities.

Consider replacing the Wi-Fi card if your laptop experiences slow or unreliable wireless performance, cannot connect to networks, or the card has failed entirely.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to replace the Wi-Fi card in the HP Spectre x360 13-4103dx. The process is straightforward and does not require advanced technical skills.

Before beginning, turn off the laptop, unplug any power cables, and work on a static-free surface. Ensure you have the necessary tools ready to complete the repair safely.

Tools

Step 1

Turn off your laptop before you start.
Flip your laptop so the bottom is facing upwards.

* Do so gently, so that none of the internal parts are damaged, Its best to try to clean the backside of a laptop with a wipe to get rid of any dust or debris.

Step 2

Use a Phillips #0 to remove the screws that hold the back panel down.

Its best to be careful when taking out the screws so that none of them chip, and it would be good advice to consider using similar tools if the current tool number isn’t working.

Step 3

Use an opening tool to remove the back panel.
Be careful when applying force to the panel so the components and the panel are not damaged.
Try to start at a corner or a place with the most room to slide under the panel.

Step 4

Remove the single screw from the Wi-Fi card using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

* This screw in particular was very difficult to remove, so be advised that it may be hard to get the screw out properly, especially if the screw shows signs of rust.
