Guest glossywhite Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I opened this up to investigate why on earth the WiFi reception is SO SO poor... and it's because there appears to be nothing more than a surface mount jumper acting as the antenna! :-/ For those wishing to open up their Ainol tablets, I would tell you this - it is VERY simple, and not at all scary. Being an electronics guy, I've opened/modified/repaired more devices in my 37 year life than I can even recall, so this kind of thing doesn't phase me - it's just good to use common sense. Simply inserting a thin plastic card (1/2 the thickness of a credit card will do) between the brushed metal frame and the backing "tray" (which is essentially what it is) will release some elegantly simple clips - just work your way slowly around all four edges... then ease the front out. ### WARNING - FLAT FLEX RIBBON CABLE INSIDE - FRAGILE!! ### The ribbon cable for the LCD is VERY thin, Kapton tape colour (dark yellow) DO NOT tear this OR strain it! That's all. :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/22008695@N03/sets/72157631771546735/ Edited October 15, 2012 by glossywhite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kram23 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Could you find space to attach a wifi antenna? Maybe a one from an old router or wifi card you dont need anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
