 | Installing an Internal Wifi AntennaOk, so I'm upgrading my friends laptop with some more ram and adding an internal Wifi card and antenna. The antenna needs to go inside the laptop case behind the LCD screen. I've taken the screen apart, but there's a foil cover on the inside of the case. Has anyone done this before? I'm not sure whether to attach the pads of the antenna onto the foil, or to cut slots and put them straight onto the plastic case. Tried looking for a guide but can't find much. It's an Acer Travelmate 2200 if that's any help.

| Ah, interesting. Somewhere I'd read that if they're attached to the foil it could cause a closed loop and short out the antenna so it wouldn't work. It was a guide fitting to a Dell, and the guy cut holes in the foil.
