    laptop wires

    Curious if they should be separate?

    Wifi wires? I trimmed the gold connectors, but the wire appears to be aluminum or stainless? Not sure if there is a core wire of a different material?

    Also, rest of the wires go into #2?

    If it's "silver looking" wire then it's probably tinned copper.
    In tinned copper wire, each strand of copper is coated with tin.
    Tinned copper wire lasts up to 10 times longer than non-tinned wire. It also resists water corrosion and provides enhanced conductivity.
