Make sure the battery is properly removed. If not, you could experience shocks.
Unscrew the three screws (Phillips #0) on the back panel to reveal the innards underneath the panel. It is helpful to keep these screws in the holes of the back panel.
Pry the back panel off and set aside.
A little bit of force may be necessary in removing the panel as there are some minor plastic clips holding the panel in place in addition to the screws.

Disconnect the WLAN (Wi-Fi) antenna cables.
These cables connect like button snaps, so just unsnap them by tugging lightly or gently prying them up away from the WLAN card.
Gather the antenna cables (black, white, and grey) and unwind them from the clips they are pinned under to keep them from rattling around.
The grey cable may be attached or unattached to the WLAN card depending on the number of antenna cables your card supports.
Remove the single screw (Philips #0).
