Whereas my sisters consumer hp 15" laptop requires removing the keyboard? to start opening it up. It required so much dismantling to replace the WiFi card I told her to buy a usb dongle. Lenovo equivalent you just unscrew a hatch and its there.

I replaced the WLAN card on my wife's Lenovo consumer laptop a few years ago and needed a hacked BIOS because the original one was the only one that was accepted for ... I don't know what reasons. Lenovo -- in that price bracket -- isn't really better in that respect.

Well that sucks. Bad luck. So much for that theory then.

Well, it was easy to find and replace, though. The laptop just wouldn't boot afterwards ;-)
