  1. In the photo under “remove the keyboard”.
    There is a second empty slot next to the wireless card. Is this where a second half height wireless card is placed in a different model? Do you know what model features this? Can I solder in a header thing and attach a wireless card myself?

  2. Thank you, it was very helpful but as a noob in this fields it would’ve been great if you would’ve shown how to clean the fan, or do i just have to blow air into it?
