Great !! thanx!!!
So these are the pics from motherboard ,from both sides , though i m 99,99% sure the antenna was soldered on the side in the pictures 9554 and 9556 and most propable on the uppper left side ....

from the looks of 9557, the antenna lead came completely out of the board, so unless you have a lot of semi-soldered holes, it should be fairly easy to determine where it was connected.

i cant locate where it was soldered ..there r no really visible "holes" where it could be connected...at least not with certainty...i dont want to short cirquit the mainboard

These chinese-made devices don't usually come with much information. Your best be is to find someone with the same model and see if they'll pop the case. Even so, that might not tell you everything as internal components can change daily based on availability or cost.

It looks likely, the circuitry around that area looks like it might be a wireless module. What's the make and numbers of the chips in that area, if you look them up should tell you if they're wireless chips or not, and can you post a close-up of that part as well.
