My Slim came without the wifi board, and subsequently without the holding screw.

Anyone know the thread, size, or depth of a replacement screw I could use to hold the replacement in? It seems like it won't go anywhere with the pseudo-USB connector in place, but I'd like to be positive.

Any help would be appreciated!

Tuve ese mismo problema. Fui a una tienda y el técnico tuvo que quitarle la tarjeta de WiFi a otro xbox porque no hay repuesto

Worth noting.. Before you purchase a new wifi card, try taking it out and reseating it. Just had to do that with mine when the wifi suddenly stopped working. Once I pulled the card and put it back in, it worked beautifully.

Also, for clarification, you are opening the side OPPOSITE the side with the hard drive.

Is it possible to replace it a newer, updated, improved WiFi card that is faster?
