maybe I voided my warranty but now I have 3 meters bluetooth range 😎 instead of it constantly dropping

some dremeling to make a window for the antenna, and a bit of clear plastic and sikaflex
-
@kanguru007 I've been wondering when someone would do this. Well done on the mod, glad it worked out for you!
With that little window you made would you say it's as water resistant as before? Considering doing it myself instead of the alternative mod of piggybacking a 2.4ghz mini antenna outside the shell which I've seen others attempt.
-
@Lia I cut the plastic so that it overlaps the window 1cm all around and used Sikaflex to glue it (the stuff used to join the teak on a boat deck). To make it safer I totally covered the plastic with Sikaflex, both inside and outside. I think it's good.
-
@Lia be careful washing out all the aluminum dust that the dremel tool will make create, just one particle can short-circuit something and ruin the board.
-
@kanguru007 Not bad at all.
Will certainly keep in mind. Done a fair few repairs to my mainboard this year, don't fancy doing more lol ;)

Nice MOD. Report back on how the functionality/ durability goes after a few 100 miles. 👍 Might give this a try....
