This guide explains how to remove the wireless card from a Toshiba Satellite A210 or A215 laptop. In most laptops the wireless card could be accessed from the door on the bottom of the laptop but in this model the wireless card is hidden under the keyboard.

There are two antenna cables connected to the wireless card. The white cable is the main antenna and the black cable is the auxiliary antenna. In order to disconnect the antenna cable grab the golden connector with your fingers and unsnap it from the wireless card.

You remove the wireless card the same way you remove the memory module. After you remove two screws securing the card, it will pop up at a 30 degree angle. Pull the wireless card from the socket by the edges.

Also you can use this guide for removing and replacing the keyboard, dial up modem, and power button board.

Here are instructions for taking apart the display assembly on a Toshiba Satellite A210 and A215 laptop. These instructions are not for beginners. In order to get inside the display panel on this model you’ll have to go through many disassembly steps.
You can use these instructions for:
- removing the hard drive, the memory modules and the DVD drive
- removing the keyboard with the top cover assembly
- removing the LCD screen, the video cable and the inverter board
I have no idea why Toshiba engineered it this way, you cannot remove the LCD bezel without removing the top cover. Weird! This is extremely service unfriendly model.
