The antenna connections coming through the IO shield on my MSI Z690 Tomahawk Wifi DDR4 board are loose. I've tightened them as well as I can from the outside, but it's not doing the trick. I think I need to get to the other side of the IO shield to tighten/backup the nuts on that side...unfortunately, there's this big black "heatsink" covering that part of it.
I haven't pulled the board to see if there are any screws from that side that will allow me to remove it...and I DO NOT know if there are any thermal pads that would need to be replaced if I do.
Anyone ever do this? Suggestions?
There are a couple of screws holding the IO shield in place...and I think a couple from the bottom as well...marked by the arrows.
