5:32 what do you mean by "inside of this is nvme ssd", while pointing at the wifi card? Sure this is an m.2 slot, but wifi card uses different key.

[@rickstechrepairs]

Correction "Same as an NVMe SSD"
as in the method to swap out of the ifi card is very similar to a NVMe SSD
Disconnect antennas
Undo Screw
Pull up slightly and out

[@vitezslavackermannferko7163]

There is a risk of frying the ram or mainboard
