Product: A900 Presario Notebook
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

There is a small WLAN board that is approx. one inch by one and a half inch. It has two pins on the the short end with a wire connected to each pin.These are the antenna cables The terminal connector allows the wire to rotate. I would like to disconnect these wires but am not familiar with the technique to do so. Any advice you care to share would be appreciated. TIA

They simply pop off. Twist and they will lift off the posts. Turn them 90 degrees to the axis of the card in other words pointing out to the side.

Any tips for reattaching them?

Tried the opposite of the removal with no luck.

Thank you for the disconnect info, worked like a charm.

Takes a bit of a "touch" but they will pop back on. I turn the connector on the post while applying moderate downward pressure.
