I just installed a mini PCI wifi (802.11b) card in my TP600X and also
installed a pair of internal antenna routed just below the keyboard.
The signal received is very weak (one bar). So I disconnected that
antenna pair and hook up a spare and route that one outside if the
laptop. Same weak signal. Looking at the antenna wire, it looked like a
very small coax cable, terminated at one end on a small coax type
connector (center pin and snap ring on the ground side. What bothers me
is the other end. both the center wire and ground is soldered to a thin
metal bracket. So how does this antenna work when resistance wise it is
a short ?

It won't work if it's as you described. Would it be too painful to you to mention the brand/model of the wireless gear?
