New antenna for Sony Ericsson GC83 wireless network card

Step 5 Install in laptop

Install the card back in your laptop and route the antenna along the side. Cut the wire to length and make sure the conductors are not shorting out. I taped mine along the side of my laptop with electrical tape. It seems a little cheesy but holds it flat and is hardly noticable. Best of all I can now slide it into my bag without fear. Signal strength seems to be at least as good as with the original abomination.
