    Hy guys,

    I don't know if any of you aready had this problem but i'm trying to install mac os on my 751h and i remembered that i had a RTL8187L and to i took it to swap for the ar5007EG because the driver is much more easy to install.
    But when i opened the wifi cover slot i saw that the 5007EG card is "half size" and the support / scrool stay in the midle of the mini pcie area. So when i tryed to install the RTL8187 i couldn't fit because the scroll holder force the new card UP, making the "closing" slot imposssible.
    I've tryed to remove that part but even with much force, i couldn't.

    so, what should i do to remove it?

    thanks!

    You may try to use right size card instead of using force...
