    Lenovo Legion 5 pro broke connector plug


    Long story short I replaced the wireless NIC in my brand new Legion 5 pro mainly because I had DPC Latency issues with the original one.. I already had to wait over a month to get the laptop shipped and didn't want to send it back so soon with the possibility of them saying nothing is wrong with the laptop..

    So I tought why not replace it with an Intel AX200.. it didn't seem too hard to open the back of the laptop. But that might not have been such a great plan after all. I tried to be careful by removing the antennas from the Wireless NIC but accidentally ripped the connector plug off (the AUX one). I swear I could've dropped dead at that moment..

    Anyway at the time I tried to put the cable back into the plug best as I could and attach it to the new Wireless NIC but I suspect that antenna is not working at all. Wi-Fi is working fine (both 2.4 and 5Ghz) but Bluetooth only works if I keep it really close to the laptop.

    Is there any way I can re-attach the cable securely back to the plug? Or I am really screwed here.

    At a guess, it was crimped and soldered to the wire. (It's a little hard to see.) It may be possible to wick away the solder, if you have the right tools and skills. Did any multistranded wire come away inside the clip?
