Looks like the wifi antenna wire.

>>31007342 probably this, OP trace it back to the mobo, if it runs into a small detachable card that it clips on to then you've just cut your wifi antenna.

>>31007342 >>31007478 It leads right back to the mono, there's nothing major it leads to

>>31007342 wifi antennas don't use three-lead nylon connectors. I'm going to guess microphone[s], but really, could be a few things. Those things are tough. it did not just 'separate'. How exactly did you manage to cut it? I don't see any copper strands, so it got cut...

>>31007699 Here is my hack fixing job, took a razorblade and wound it with electrical tape >>31007722 Your guess is as good as mine, as soon as I finished blowing the air can it was right there staring me in the face

Probably mic cable. Not entirely essential. Cut it off.

It's a Mic cable. Wifi cables go straight to the Wifi CARD, children. It's an Asus G-somethingwhocares I think. I've worked on a few.
