Hi,

I was disassembling my T430 laptop and did not capture what FR cable is plugged into which TR slot on the Intel 6300 wireless card. With some research and AI help I have come to the following solution, but it's probably wrong.

Please let me know which colour should go to which slot, and note that, from left to right, they are TR1, TR3, TR2 so it's not natural counting.

With some research and AI help

First off: ask people before consulting AI.

Second: your embedded photos are too large. Please convert them into links.

but it's probably wrong.

Yes, you're wrong. Orange wire is for the WWAN/3G/Cellular antenna, not WiFi. You only got 1 correct (gray at TR1)-- so much for AI

Black is TR2 (rightmost), and white at TR3 (center).

Three: take photos as you disassemble. Or better yet, consult the T430 Hardware Maintenance Manual.
