Can I replace the wireless card in my Macbook Pro?

Can I replace the airport extreme card (Wireless G) to the new N card that come in the new MBP?

Yes. It has been done. I have heard that the wireless n card for the mac pro will fit the macbook pro. I haven't done it yet though...I'm undecided about whether to update my laptop so i'm going to wait a while before i void my warranty.
An apple dealer have offered to perform the installation but can't guarantee it will work, and say it will void my warranty but that's up in a month anyway... I'll let you know if i do it.

  • Can i replace the WLan card on my Satellite Pro P750

    I purchased my P750 to run wirelessly on our 5GHz (802.11a/n) frequency network.
    Though I was informed it would work it does not. It appears that my hardware does not work on the "a" band.
    My question is can the card be reaplaced or is it built into the board. If it is in built can an extermal wireless card be purchased to do the job?
    Just in case you asked I have read the forums updated the drivers and enabled the "n" on the AdHoc advanced profile for my Atheros AR9002WB-1NG

    Hi
    The Wlan card is connected to the miniPCI port on the motherboard and its possible to remove/disconnect the card.
    But there could be still an compatibility issues between new device (Wlan chip) and the BIOS.
    I read here in the forum that someone has replaced the Wlan card and finally the notebook didnt boot up due to the compatibility problems between the Wlan and BIOS.
    So in your case I recommend using an external Wlan solution.
    The WLan stick is easy in use and should be compatible with most systems.

  • Can you replace the top part of your macbook pro?

    My macbook pro has some scratches and a small dent on the top and was wondering if you are able to replace this? If not, what are other options?

    Yes, the display assembly can be replaced for anywhere from a few hundred to more than a thousand dollars, depending on model. Under no circumstances is this a sensible, worthwhile investment if the only reason for doing it is minor cosmetic damage.

    Hey guys, want to replace my 256 flash based drive in my 2014 macbook pro retina with a 1th 7200rpm hdd. Is this possible with a bay adapter of some kind?

    hi guys..i've got a macbook pro 13 inch with intel hd 3000 graphic card..is there any way to change it to the faster intel hd 4000?

    No, it is an integral part of the mother board.  To improve the GPU, your only alternative is to purchase a newer MBP.

  • I just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive and copied over a backup from time machine now I have a kernel panic message (you must restart) - what do I do now?

    i just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive, installed a back up from time machine and now have kernel panic ( you must restart your computer) what do I need to do?

    If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.

  • Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
    Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
    Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
    What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame?  The manual should say.

  • How can I erase the data on my 2009 macbook pro that won't turn on because of a faulty motherboard? Do I just remove the hard drive, install it in a working mac, and erase it that way?

    How can I erase the data on my 2009 macbook pro that won't turn on because of a faulty motherboard? Do I just remove the hard drive, install it in a working mac, and erase it that way? Thanks.

    You put the internal drive in an enclosure. If you choose to keep the drive, you don't need to erase it.

  • I can't unlock the screen to access my macbook pro. When I enter the password it just jiggles. I'm not getting an error message, so I'm pretty certain that the password is correct. Any suggestions?

    I can't unlock the screen to access my macbook pro. When I enter the password it just jiggles. I'm not getting an error message, so I'm pretty certain that the password is correct. Any suggestions?

    I already checked that one.
    I'm baffled, especially since it will usually give you the Invalid user name or password entered message. I'm not getting that. Instead the password field just jiggles back and forth. Very odd.

  • TS1367 Will reinstalling the memory card from my MacBook pro erase my saved data?

    Will reinstalling the memory card from my MacBook pro erase my saved data?
    My MacBook pro that I purchased in mid 2010 has been having some issues lately.
    It's been running slow, which is very irregular since in 2010 I spent a lot of money to get the top of the line in every aspect. It's usually faster than fast and able to run multiple programs and browsers at a time.
    The other day it began to act up. I did the smc reset the pram reset and it still had been running vveerryy ssllooww. :(
    Now I was on it this morning and it was a bit unbalanced as I moved it to another table and it shut off completely. No sleep light, no response to the power button. It's just a dead hunk of junk. :( the only thing that gives me hope is that the battery life indicated is still working for some reason and it responds to the power adaptor when plugged in the light on the plug turns on as if the computer is acknowledging it.
    Please help me. For the first time ever I am about to take apart my precious MacBook pro, but I want to make sure I am aware of what I am doing before I do it. I have read the support guide instructions through a few times so far and I am curious if removing the memory and reinstalling it will erase anything?
    Is there hope?
    Also currently I am unable to get to an apple store/ genius bar any live person at a store until this weekend. I am trying to avoid taking it in for I, like everyone else, need my computer for school and work and don't have the time or gas money to drive to one since I'm not in a metro area. : S
    Please help!
    Thanks for your time.

    No, does not erase any data if you upgarede or reinstall RAM sticks.
    You'd better upgrade RAM to get better performance, I suppose.

    The airport card on my macbook pro is not functioning. In the airport firmware folder it says that it opens with final cut express. Is this the problem and how do i solve it?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
    6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
        Play sound effects through:
       Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".
