If you are having Wi-Fi problems and none of the solutions found on this troubleshooting page work, you may need to replace the physical Wi-Fi card in your Lenovo Yoga C930-13IKB. The only Wi-Fi card that is compatible with the Lenovo Yoga C930-13IKB is the Intel 9260 Wi-Fi card. Do not install a different Wi-Fi card.
Before buying a new card, check if all the wires are connected to the Wi-Fi card currently in your laptop. Poor physical connection to the motherboard or antenna will cause Wi-Fi problems.

Flip the device over so that the underside is facing up.
-
Remove the six 3.5 mm T5 Torx screws.
-
-
-
Pry off the back cover using the plastic opening tool.
-
Loosen the back cover in multiple spots using the opening tool, then remove the whole back.
The gap is so small that I wasn’t able to insert anything to pry the cover up. The suction cup tool lifted the cover off easily.
There is a very convenient spot to begin the prying process. Up by the hinge, where the metal back turns in perpendicular to the edge to get around the hinge mechanism, there is a gap between the cover and the rest of the laptop where it can be pried up easily. From there it is easy to run a tool and widen the gap all the way around.
I tried Thomas's suggestion first, and it worked like a charm: the suction cup took it right off.
Instead of pushing the cup against the laptop I "pulled it flat" and placed it against the back, so it'd just suck onto it. (Didn't want to deform the laptop cover) -

-
Carefully lift the cover off with your hands.
-
-
-
-
Find the Wi-Fi card located on the right just above the battery. It is a green chip with a white label that says "Intel 9260" somewhere on it.
-
-
-
Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the single 2 mm screw that attaches the card to the motherboard.
This step is not needed unless you are transferring the card, the post that it is attached to is fixed to the main board not the case.

-
Gently pull or use the iFixit opening tool to detach the black and white wires from the card.
-
-
-
Pinch the card on either side and pull to the right to unplug it from the motherboard.
Again unless you are transferring the card it does not need to be removed as it is fixed to the main board.

Brilliant! very clear instructions and it fixed my fault. I wonder if this is a relatively common fault. Windows unable to find WiFi adapter.
Thank you for your efforts
Does anyone know if i need a Lenovo specific 9260 or does any Intel 9260 card work?
the ones sold as a "lenovo" version is 3x the price where i am, so i would like to avoid that if possible.
