I recently had issues with my airport card (it was making my computer freeze) in my iBook G4, so I took it out and put in a new card. But for some unknown reason my iBook won't recognize the new card! I ran Apple Hardware's quick and full scan of my system and everything is working fine...except it says that my there is no airport card. I've reopened my computer three times now to make sure that it was seated correctly (i.e. I pushed on it real hard to make sure it's in the socket), but still nothing. Does anyone have any ideas or advice?

Make sure that it is connected to the logic board as well as to the lead for the antenna firmly
