Product: HP ENVY 750-177c
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP ENVY 750-177c and was upgrading and 2 thin black wires got disconnected from the motherboard.  They have loops on the end of the wires that look like they could slip on pins.  The wires connect to the top of the computer box.  Where do I reconnect them at?

Find this card in your system. It's the M2 socketed Wireless card.  The other end of the wires should still be attached.  There are 2 stubs left and right of the "2".  If all is correct, that's your physical WI-FI antenna. Just re-tape it to the inside of the case.  The little clips are only used for an external antenna connection.
