It's a user's guide for the general u500 series of lap-tops:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7QsFu5wGXIiODc2NWI1ZDAtYTBmYi00NGQyLTljODItMGYwMjI5MDc4ZWQ1
(or http://bit.ly/zygnZV if that's too long)

But it does show a door on the underside covering the wireless
card, so it's likely a simple matter of unhooking the antennae,
gently prising it free and installing a new card.

(also, I have no idea if Toshiba does hardware whitelisting
on any of their lap-tops, but you might search around a bit
before you buy a new card)
