My Problem
After upgrading to OSX Lion, my Airport Card stopped working. After talking to an Apple Genius, he said it would be at least a $500 repair. I'd rather do it myself!
My Fix
The process was smooth. Only about a 10 minute job. The hardest part was keeping all of the screws organized so I knew where they went during reassembly.
My Advice
Keep a flashlight handy.
My Problem
My 2007 Macbook had the oddest problem with wireless that started one day. I could connect to any wireless network, but I couldn't browse the Internet. At first I thought this was a software problem. After trying different browsers, and then finally a reload of Mac OS, I realized this was a hardware problem.
My Fix
I printed out and followed the guide. Overall the replacement took me 20 minutes. No real gotchas.
My Advice
Just make sure you have the proper tools. Fortunately for me I had recently ordered a Mac screwdriver set from iFixit a few months prior. I had used them to replace the hard drive on my Macbook Pro. Having the proper size screwdriver is key.
My Problem
Wires are so passé. After drying out my laptop, I found it no longer recognized my card! Using the guide, I opened my computer and removed the water-stained card. Then I ordered the new one!
My Fix
Repair was super easy! It was really filthy inside (my laptop's 4 years old)
My Advice
Just do it! Cheap and easy to do yourself and eathernet is soo lame. ;)
