Unable to plug black antenna into new Intel wifi card

I replaced the horrible stock wifi card with the newest Intel one. I was able to easily snap in the white antenna into the card but can't get the black one to go in. I suspect it's been bent somehow. How can I fix this? Is there a way to just replace the ends of the antennas and not the whole thing? Thanks!

Hi @advisablyred ,

Don't know the laptop or cards but visually inspect with a magnifying glass and a strong light the connectors on both the old WiFi card and the new WiFi card to see if they are they same type i.e. female or male. Then check the black cable connector and see if the it is compatible with the new card connector.

Just a thought

I had exactly the same issue with the same laptop. I ended up bending the $@$* out of the back connector with zero success. LUCKILY the white is the main connector and the card, even without the aux (black) antennae connector seems to be so much faster than the last card
