Hi Kate! thanks for your instruction on how to open and change the WiFi module... I have a question about the version of M.2 Key E wich are compatible with this Laptop.
The original one is a M.2 Key A+E RTL8822CE from REALTEK. I think this is giving me a problem with WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR Blue Screen issue. So I take it off and then not problems are visibles, everything works fine.
So I take off the WiFi module from a LENOVO L340 wich it comes with INTEL 9462NGW, M.2 Key E form factor. Is not working.
I look into the respective Schematics and foun that Lenovo ideaPad 3 doesn't have some conections lines (SPI,UART,others), just USB conections... so i think there is a problem with Key E types wich wont works withs this Laptop.
So question is... Do am I ok?? Does Key E need all pins connection? I will looking for more info, so if I coul answer me will share it too here!
I hope you all community still fine! Cheers!
