Introduction

This guide is useful if software or external methods haven’t worked to improve your internet connectivity for your Acer Chromebook CB315-3HT-C3FQ. Your network card may be broken and need to replaced. Be careful not to strip any screws during this guide, as it will make it difficult to remove the network card.

    • Flip the Chromebook over so the bottom is facing up.

  2. KQZRMo23K6n6GPKc

    • Always wear an anti-static wrist strap when working with an electronic device, as static electricity from your hand could damage it.

    • To use the anti-static strap, attach the strap to your wrist and then attach the end of the cord to something that is also metal, preferably something in your Chromebook. This strap will discharge any static electricity that you build up instead of it going into the metal parts of your computer, which could damage the components.

  5. kC2AjTAGiQG3w1KT

    • Gently unplug the two (white and black) wires from the network card.

  6. IwpTCvF1g2fHaGyZ

    • Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the screw blocking the network card.

    • Remove the network card from the laptop.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
