Hi Andrew, thanks for your guide on MacBook Air 11" Late 2010 Airport-Bluetooth Card. I am desperately trying to purchase new cables with female connectors to connect to the Card's male jacks. I ignore the size which is important: I tried MHF 4 too small, MHF 1 too big, so before buying wrong cables again I wonder if you can tell me what size is the Card's jack connection. I thank you for your help in advance.
