Can I replace my airport card?

I received from a customer a MacBook Pro mid 2014

She needed a new charger (the Apple Store told them it was the logic board, then she send it to 2 repair shops, where some of them give a piece (I didn’t know which one because I found the issue)

So when I booted up and asked her to put her password, it turned on! But the WiFi said there was no hardware installed (i assume it was the airport card)

Then I opened and there’s the Airport card, the piece that they took was the right speaker!

Can I buy another airport card or has the same issue like the iPhones with touch ID and need to use the exact airport card?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

To start with you can switch out the Airport board but I don’t think thats your issue.

More often the I/O Board cable has issues. I would try replacing it first. Here’s the IFIXIT guide you’ll need to follow: MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Mid 2014 I/O Board Replacement Follow the steps till Step6 then jump down to step17 & 18. Here’s the part you’ll need: MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Late 2013-Early 2015) I/O Board Data Cable.

If that doesn’t fix it here’s the IFIXIT guide to replace the AirPort board: MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Mid 2014 AirPort Board Replacement and heres the needed part: MacBook Pro 13" and 15" Retina (Late 2013-Mid 2014) Airport/Bluetooth Board
