I can see that internal WiFi module is connected through USB0 (--> page 54). Do you think it is possible to remove WiFi module and connect an internal USB disk/memory instead?
Why not. But better to be careful, as for internal USB port there is no TPS2553 chip included for overcurrent & reverse voltage protection (in neither BD-D6900, BD-D7000 and HT-D7100). There is a question how much 5V current can be safely drawn from this port in BD-D6900; I guess any USB device with power consumption below 1-1.2A will be reasonably safe. I have no idea what 5V total power budget is for BD-D6900 PSU, but it had to be designed with some overcapacity:
- external USB port overcurrent protection is set on 1.5A in BD-D7000
- HDMI pin 18 (5V supply) overcurrent protection is ca 450mA (10x the specs)
- WiFi module itself draws something in 0.5-0.7A range, unless I'm very much mistaken.
In BD-D6900 threre is a smaller 4-pin socket connected to 5V-powered internal WiFi module. Maybe some service-menu settings should be altered (?) and probably some parts added (2 small capacitors, diodes, --> page 57 upper). Right?
Small capacitors are most likely not needed (in BD-D6900 they seem to be already there - C334 & C335, close to CN302 connector).
I'm assuming CN302 is internal USB connector(???). I'm not 100% sure, cause in my BD-D6900 WiFi module was missing.. Funny story: apparently Samsung authorized service forgot to include it while reassembling the player. Previous owner managed to get the refund/compensation from the service center - quite a lot, after splitting it 50/50 with him, I actually ended with 2x more money then I paid for the whole device

.
The unit works pretty well without WiFi module - no apparent problems. I see there are some settings in service menu related to WiFi (NETWORK Support: Int-Wifi, IPREF: Stopped, WIFI Region: E), but there was no need to alter them.
