Chosen Solution
Whilst installing a second hard drive, I managed to damage the connector on the logic board that handles wifi/bluetooth/isight camera. Of these things, the bluetooth and the camera both still work fine, but i have no AirPort card showing up in my system profiler - one of the pins on the cable end looks slightly bent, but bends back into line, but one of the pins on the logic board end seems slightly out of place. If the logic board connector is in fact damaged, anyone know if it’s possible to repair this?
Yes this item can be replaced. You will of course need the replacement part and a SMD rework station. I have replaced this connector successfully. Did you note the small black plastic piece that is glued to the logic board to keep this cable in place. You may be able to resolve your problem by reattaching that or at least making sure that it is firmly against the back of the connector.
Hello, whats is the name of this black plastic piece?
