Introduction

The network card might not be vital to the function of a laptop, but it is vital part for you to be connection to basically anything you need to do in your life on the computer.

Unfortunately at this time iFixit doesn’t have a troubleshooting guide for the Dell LatitudeE7470. I would recommend before completely replacing you look up a troubleshooting guide to make sure that’s what’s wrong with it.

Be sure to back up your hard drive before replacing it so you don’t lose any data while you’re doing the replacement. Make sure to power off your laptop completely and disconnect from any external power source prior to beginning the process.
