Where is the Airport Card in a 14-inch 1.42GHz iBook?

A friend of mine is having problems with the Airport card in her 14-inch 1.42GHz iBook. She thought it came unseated and asked me to check. I went to iFixit.com to see where it was located. I followed the guide and, lo and behold, there is no card under the keyboard!
Where is the Airport Extreme card in this model iBook? I am puzzled. HELP!

I do not believe that there is a regular AirPort Extreme card in that iBook.
Regardless it is considered "built-in" and not a user serviceable part on that iBook.

  • Where can I buy the airport card for the G3 ibook?

    Hi
    I recently purchased an old ibook G3 and am wanting to use it wirelessly. I can't seem to locate the airport card that is needed to make it work. Can i buy it from the mac store online? Also, i have the airport extreme at home...will it work on that network with the airport card?? Cheers

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No, the original AirPort card the iBook needs is no longer available from Apple.
    I just checked these links for the original AirPort card today (ranked in order of price, lowest to highest, shipping not figured):

    Yes, it will work with your AirPort Extreme Base Station.
    Good luck with the iBook.

  • How do I get to the airport card in a Nehalem?

    I'm thinking my airport card may not be connected correct or something but I cant figure out where it is to check. I have the 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" I can't find any videos or images of this model mac. When i go to about this mac the card shows up under airport but Airport Utility doesn't show up anything just says rescan.

    In that case AirPort Utility won't show you anything useful.
    I have a Linksys WRT160N. As of right now my airport card wont even find it. My iphone and psp and ps3 connect to the router network just fine.
    Two things that I can think of that might explain what you see: (1) The AirPort card is bad. (2) It's not connected correctly to its antenna(s). (I've seen stories about such problems.) I wonder if Apple Hardware Test could help you eliminate the first possibility.

  • How do I acces the Airport card on a new iBook 12"?

    I have a 1.33Ghz 12" iBook G4. (The latest model.) Since the previous version Apple have changed the location of the AirPort Extreme card.
    Previously it sat on top of the RAM slot. Adding RAM required the AirPort card to be removed. Now the RAM slot is accessible in its own covered slot in a similar location as before but the AirPort card is nowhere to be seen.
    Any idea how I can access it?

    I discovered that searching elsewhere since posting my question. It's a board rather than a card apparantly, like the Mac Mini.
    I'd still like to know where it lurks though and how to get at it. I have a strong suspicion that it's playing up in my iBook. I've read various reports of incorrectly seated Airport cards causing kernel panics. I've spent the day working out that I have a very serious Airport problem. I have a sneaky suspicion that it's a badly connected or malfunctioning card/board.

    Hi,
    I purchased an Apple MB988ZM/A Airport Extreme Wireless Upgrade Kit for my 2.93GHz 8-Core 2009 Nehalem Mac Pro a couple of months ago.
    The kit includes 2 screws inside a transparent pack. The description on the pack reads:
    "HH111009 603-9823-A Assembly Screws China".
    The screws are approximately 4.5mm in overall length, of which about 3mm is the thread.
    The thread appears to be fine, and the round head of the screw takes a Philips 00 screwdriver tip.
    I have checked one of the screws with my "screw gauge" (I am a very keen DIYer!), and its diameter measures 1.5mm.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Bill

  • Cannot install Airport on my old Powerbook G4 - BTHomehub network quotes "password incorrect" although it isn't. Same settings work OK on my iMac, G5 and other Powerbook G4. Is there a fault on the Airport card?

    I have recently re-installed 10.4 on my old Powerbook G4 with success apart from the Airport network.
    Using BTHomeHub (which I use successfully on my other Powerbook G4, iMac and G5) I get the message that the password is incorrect, which I know it isn't as the other macs are OK. Is there a fault with the Airport card?

    Hi Frank, is the BTHomeHub using WPA2 encryption perchance?
    The original 802.11b Airport card cannot do WPA2, and may need a firmware update to do WPA if the earlier of the original Airport cards.
    One workaround might be...

    thanks

    If the technician at the shop is competent, he has given you a diagnosis that should have identified the problem.  You could run the Apple Hardware Test to verify the findings:
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
    Note the Apple Hardware Test is not definitive.
    Go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com web sites.  They have parts and installation instructions.  To install an Airport card is fairly easy.

  • What is the model number for the Airport Card?

    The Airport card in my late 2008 unibody macbook has broken and I'd like to buy another online, what is the part number?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Click on the Apple in the upper left corner of the screen, then About this Mac, then More Info, then find Network, and click on AirPort. That will give you details.
    Why did you conclude that the card itself is broken instead of just a network configuration problem?

    My airport show that the airport card doesn't install. How can I solve this symptom? It's usable 2 days ago.

    Usually, if your Mac tells you "no AirPort card installed", it's because of power not properly being supplied to the AirPort card. Sometimes this symptom is related to hardware issues.
    Reset the SMC of your computer. There are different ways of resetting, depending on the Mac you are using.

    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.

       Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

  • Where is the airport utilities and assistant inmavericks

    where is the airport utilities or the set up assistant in Maverick?

    Unfortunately, AirPort Utility in Mavericks does not support the older versions of the AirPort routers.
    You will need...or be able to borrow....a Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC with AirPort Utility installed, to be able to make any configuration changes to the AirPort.

  • The AirPort card on my MBP says "Not Configured"

    I am traveling overseas and all of the sudden my AirPort card won't function. It says "Not configured" and I have not been able to turn it back on in order to log into WIFI networks. I tried the Network Assistant and it tells me the AirPort is not on but it is also unable to turn it on. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Can you see the AirPort card in System Profiler (Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info)?
    Here are some things to try to reset the connection settings on your Mac:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    3) In the same panel as (2), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    4) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    5) In the folder /Library/Preferences (not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.

  • How to change contry code on the airport card of a Macbook

    Hi all,
    I've a big frustrating problem.
    I'm in italy with a MacBook bought at apple store in italy, I've around my house 8 different wireless network all in channel 6 or 11 , so to avoid interference I've set my router to channel 13 (in europe the wifi channel are from 1 to 13, in the Us from 1 to 11) i've no problem with my iMac 21" (but in the system profiler it tells me as country code FR instead of IT), but every time I turn on my macbook the country code of the airport card is set to US, so I can link only on network on channels from 1 to 11, what can I do to enable the last two channel on the macbook?

    Hi,
    The "Intel HD graphics 4400" is soldered to the motherboard (or integrated) and you can not change or swap out. You have to live with that and saving money to buy another machine.
    Regards.

  • If the Airport card is removable... why can't we put a new "N" version in?

    Why can't we put a new card that supports "N" in our recently bougth (under a year old) computers?
    What I dispise is that I personally own 15 Macs and not all of them are the latest models. So this leaves me with a "mixed" network with many of them using "G" cards.
    This slows things down, and in the case of my home network (5 macs including a trusty G4 imac that is in the kitchen serving up music throughout the house) I feel that I will never be able to use the abilities of the "N" networks
    This could lead to the failure of the iTV / Apple TV product for many of us. I am a Mac addict from day one and buy the latest models of everything, but held back on this because it would not work well on a mixed network.
    I hope someone at Apple reads this or realizes this. We need to be able to pop out the Airport card, pay for a new one and pop in the "N" one. This allows us to stay current with the new technology.
    It is not like we don't already know how to install them.
    Does anyone out there sell an aftermarket version? I had heard that Belkin might offer one, but had not seen anything yet.
