    Stripped/Worn out Screw

    Thanks for all the replies. I am going to try using a pair of needle nose pliers. If that does not work, I'll take it to a local repair shop.

    Stripped/Worn out Screw

    I guess I'll pry around for a pair. I have limited access to simple tools such as super glue and drills. I have made the hole into a square shape (I doubt I can find a Robertson which is < 5mm in size).

    Stripped/Worn out Screw

    I had the idea of using some epoxy onto a screwdriver. I just found the perfect screw driver to apply the epoxy. Let's hope for the best!

    Stripped/Worn out Screw

    Stripped/Worn out Screw

    I am trying to swap my wireless card with a new on my laptop. However, the screw on my laptop is worn out. Is there anyway to remove this screw? The screw is very small in size, it is about 10-20mm. I've tried everything from using a rubber band to using a flat head. Here is an image of the...

    Pigtail

    After spending a few hours trying to find a pigtail (MALE MHF4 to FEMALE U. FL). However most of the companies I found required me to buy in bulk. I only need 10 units, and I was wondering if there were any hobbyist stores in the U.S or Canada that are willing to sell them.

    Which type of antenna is this?

    I would like away from using soldering (I would run the risk of voiding my warranty). Is there a pigtail or some kind of converter that I can use?

    Which type of antenna is this?

    I am not sure, but I am certain that it is my wireless card. I just tried using Windows, and the similar problems exist. I also don't want to use super glue. Sadly, it uses the bigger antenna connector :(

    Which type of antenna is this?

    I appreciate both of your answers. However, my current Linux distro works best with either an Atheros or Broadcom card. Is there any way to connect the MHF4 to the standard U.FL?

    Which type of antenna is this?

    Hello there :) My wireless card has issues (it drops connections every so often) on my Asus UX32VD. So I decided to replace my Intel Centrino 6235 with an Atheros or Broadcom based wireless card. However, I hit another roadblock, since my laptop is an Ultrabook, it uses smaller than...
