WWAN upgrade (DW5560 or DW5570) in Latitude E7240 - Antenna cables issue ?
I want to upgrade my Dell Latitude E7240 with a Dell Wireless 5560 (or 5570)
This Mini-Card has 2 U.FL/IPEX connectors (a MAIN and an AUX) that should be connect to antenna cable.
But my laptop only has only 2 antenna cables with female U.FL/IPEX connector (One black / One grey) already used by Dell WLAN Mini-Card.
On my previous Dell Latitude E6230, there was 4 antenna cables with female U.FIL / IPEX connector in order to connect 2 Mini-Card (One for WWAN, One for WLAN)
On the video below (at the very end), showing E7240 bottom cover disassembly ; I noticed that there were more than only 2 antenna cables...
So : How can I upgrade my E7240 and get two Mini-cards to work ?
Any suggestions / Help will be apprecied.
NB : I try also fo to find Service Manual for E7240 ...
I search here (ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_latitude_laptop/) but I can't find it.

You have to buy antenas as well, ask some ebay seller for proper one. You can try to find tutorial how to install them or just to track and follow canal for antenas from wifi (the end of antenas for catching signal have to be placed behind the display).

Hi Vorval, thats the wrong link, that is a wifi cable/antenna link, NOT LTE mobile broadband (afaik).
i Cannot locate the correct antenna/cables on ebay
