Soldered WLAN module replacement, any catch ?

[ss45]

Hi guys

ive got spectre 15 with WLAN module soldered
in the windows device manager the device gave error 10 code.
It is a common complain, user has to shipped the laptop back to HP for service since its a hardware problem. disabling reenabling or reinstall driver didnt help

Can i easily order new WLAN module of the same model (Ax201),
unsolder the damaged one, then solder new one onto the board ?

Is there any ROM programming involved ?

For reference the module looks like this onboard

Hi

Were you able to successfully replace the Wi-Fi module? I have the same issue.

Can anybody share some tips with replacing onboard Wi-Fi module thanks.

Code 10 is a bios enumeration fault and unable to allocate the proper resources.

Test with the latest bios. Voice your issues with their technical support team. Poor coding of the bios. Been there and corrected such faults with HP and Dell. Then received a call from Dell legal to insist we remain quiet to avoid being sued. Crapware.
