Hook #1

Hook #2

Hook #3

Hook #4

Hook #5 ( I broke it on mine. So be careful )

It is really tricky to open the case.

1. Take that 1 screw off with torx screwdriver (Size T8) - It is no-brainer.

2. There are 5 hooks like the above pictures.

Dell Wireless 1350 Driver file

I had to find a driver file for Dell Wireless 1350 PC Card from dell's website. I've been using dell's website for long time but it was little frustrating moment for me to find the driver for this wireless pc card because this pc-card doesn't have service tag, dell's website didn't give me an option to choose parts or accessories.

I started search google with model number WL-611GD. I found some possible result but it didn't work out well. So I changed the keyword to Dell Wireless 1350 and finally I could find the following link. I just want to remember this for future.

R11531.exe is the right driver file name for this pc card.
