The wireless card seems to be working after updating drivers, but the antenna isn't connecting properly. It looks like the tiny cables might not match the device's requirements, even though they're firmly placed.

Are you referring to the Bluetooth connection? The Wi-Fi part doesn’t require any cables at all.

It seems you're likely dealing with a laptop component replacement. The instructions suggest using the original card model for compatibility, verifying the connector isn't damaged by checking the pins.

Are these style cables the same as those posted by @TetraSky? Your order matches them in size. They come in several options, but as long as your items are similar, it should work. These cables need to run straight and can be prone to damage. I recommend checking both the cable and the board socket carefully.

Based on my observations, it's best to always click; when they didn't, I realized they weren't establishing a connection. It seems the antenna socket remains consistent across all M.2 WiFi cards, only changing when switching from miniPCI to M.2 devices.
