Product: OMEN 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop PC 15-en1000 (2L1F2AV)

I want to upgrade the card from the intel ax200 to the ax210 which has 6ghz.  I've opened up the back and removed the battery and ssd's but I do not see a m.2 wifi card anywhere on the backside of the motherboard.  Most envy's cards are readily accessible.

 

Is this unit upgradeable or is it soldered to the motherboard?  Thank you.

Hi:

 

While it is rather unusual, the Wi-Fi adapter is an integral part of the motherboard according to the service manual.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

 

There is no procedure to remove the Wi-Fi card and the motherboard removal procedure tells you to disconnect the antenna wires from the integrated Wi-Fi adapter.
