[* black] The back side of board is devoid of interesting silicon, but we can't help but notice the strange silver jumper wire clinging to it. Hey wait a minute, this thing actually [guide|113786|looks|stepid=217555|new_window=true] [guide|92362|kinda|stepid=173133|new_window=true] [guide|51568|familiar|stepid=112664|new_window=true]. | |
[* black] What's it for? You're welcome to inspect where it's routed and try to guess! | |

+ | [* black] We think it may be a shielded diversity antenna of some kind, with a grounded exterior to insulate RF to and from the interior signal lead. The accompanying sticker ''NEW SAM'' could be labelling the wire as a Surface Antenna Mount. |
[* black] That said, NEW SAM could be anything: ''Super Activity Monitor; [https://thumbs.gfycat.com/FatSpectacularInganue-size_restricted.gif|Silver Aerobic Master|new_window=true]; Slippery Agile Meerkat; Solidified Aerodynamic Meter'' ... The possibilities are endless. Leave your NEW SAM guesses in the comments below. |
