I was repairing my computer and in the process, was not as careful as I should’ve been with the wifi connectors on the WLAN card. I broke the gold connector off of the black antenna. I was just wondering if there is any way to replace this antenna or if there is a way to put that gold connector back onto the antenna wire. EDIT: The Black wire is also the the one that is associated with the Bluetooth function of the wifi card. Thanks in advance!
Hi, Here’s a link to the service manual for your laptop, taken from this webpage Scroll to p.54 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedures to remove / replace the display assembly. This will give you access to the antennas. Here’s a link to just one supplier of the part. It is shown just to give you an idea of the cost of the part. There are other suppliers online that may suit you better. Just search for Dell XPS 13 9350 antenna or 0854MK to get results
You will also have to remove the display hinge cover after you remove the display assembly. This link is from the service manual (there are different versions and some do not address replacing the wireless antenna, this one does). If you look at the table of contents at left of the page for which the link is provided, you will also find instructions for replacing the wireless antenna. The antenna is not glued on .. it is fastened with 4 screws.
