Wifi card not installed

My Macbookpro 15" early 2011 gives the message no wificard installed.
Resetted everything but nothing helps.
The problem began after falling from the table

If this occured after an impact, then it needs to be taken to an Apple retail genius bar or authorized repair service for diagnosis. There is likely a broken connection that needs to be determined.

Iphone 5 SIM card not installed or no service

Hi from lady few weeks I am having this problem where phone says SIM card not installed or no service. Turning the phone on and off does work but it happens at least ten times a day. I have got a new SIM card thinking its a problem with the SIM card.
But now I have noticed the moment I switch on to 3G mode from the settings it does the same thing.
Can anyone tell me is it the problem with the phone or my service carrier. I have been working iPhone for almost two years never had this problem before.
I am using iPhone 5. Thanks

Have you followed all steps in the article below?

Install a SIM card.
If you have and the error is still occurring the a hardware issue most likely exists.

The dreaded Airport Card not Installed error

I'm getting this error now, along with problems with my ethernet port. It was working fine on Sunday, I closed it and put it in its bag, then when I took it out later, no wireless and ethernet wasn't working. I rebooted and then got the "Air Port card not installed" message. The ethernet card will not pick up an IP via DHCP, however, if I manually assign an address, it can contact machines on my local net only - I even finished a Time Machine backup to a windows share after the failure.
failed repair attempts:
Reboot
SMC and PRAM reset - multiple times
Reinstall
Delete .kext files (not all of them, just the ones recommended in other threads like IO8011family.kext - which was recreated, but still no joy.)
I'm about ready to wipe and reload, but I fortunately have a the old hard drive I took out when I upgraded - it exactly as I took it out - I didn't change a thing.
Before I try swapping the drives or wipe and reload, does anyone have any ideas?

Well, repairing disk permissions did not help. Another SMC rest and PRAM reset did not help, and booting from external hard drive (different software) did not help. I'm really scared now because there is no way I can afford to repair it until November. Does anyone have any ideas?

After updating 6.1.2 Sim Card Not Installed

Hi, I updated my I phone 4 this morning and when I turned my phone back on it said "sim card not installed". It was totally fine before the update and I haven't had any issues before this. Please help

I use Skype fairly frequently. The rather appalling rate of dropped calls does not seem to have increased with the update. It also appears to be pretty much the same as the rate of dropped calls when using my MBA.

I have an Ipad 2 16gb, I bought a sim card yet it says sim card not installed

Hi Peeps, please can someone help in what I do next! the ipad 2 will find the sim card network for about 15 secs then goes off and says sim card not installed.
does anyone know whether I need to update or download certain software for this to work.
It is the IPAD 2 16gb, sim card checked with network provider and its working fine!!

Giff gaff use the 02 network, so there is a chance that you are "locked"to that network (02 as Giff gaff don't sell iPads)
Without putting in a different sim, you won't know the "3"sims from eBay offer about the best deal inro £13 for 3 months data @1gb per month, I've used them for almost a year now :)

Honestly I dont think so, but your best bet is to take it to yoru verizon store and ask them or you could just pop in a sim card of tmobile and see if that works.

Airport Card Not Installed Error on Macbook Pro 13

I've a Macbook Pro 13 less than 1year old. 3 days ago, I attempted to update my iPod Touch 3G from 3.1.2 to 4.2.1. While in the process, my iPod froze and I forced quitted iTunes.
On the next boot, Airport was off. And no matter what I did, it didn't turn on. I fixed this with a reinstall of the OS. Yesterday night, I turned off Airport to save power. Today morning onwards, I see the warning "Airport Card not Installed".
What could be the problem?

No idea, but here is a thread on this very subject and many suggestions which have worked for some people:

Good luck!

My Mac air keeps on loosing wifi and when I want to switch it on! It says wifi hardware not installed. After about 5 minutes the wifi is back on, but only for about 10 minutes before loosing signal again.

My Mac air keeps on loosing wifi and when I want to switch it on it says "wifi hardware not installed" After about 5 minutes the wifi is back on, but only for about 10 minutes before loosing signal again. This is really frustrating.

I am also having the same problem.. Its too much annoying and its unfortunate nobody at apple support has anyclue of what is happening?
... This is happening almost most of the time keeping my phone down most of the times.

Hello Abhihit9,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I found this article while researching the symtpoms you state here named iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3780.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
Restart your iPhone.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPhone as new.
Contact your carrier to:
Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
I know you have reseated and replaced the SIM card already so you can skip that part.
Regards,
Sterling

I replaced optical drive, now MacBookPro is very hot and wifi hardware not installed

My late 2008 MacBookPro 5,1 2.53 GHz laptop's optical drive would not record last week. A lens cleaning didn't help, so I replaced the optical drive Tuesday evening with iFixit instructions. Other than stripping one of the screws holding the drive in place, all seemed pretty straightforward. I had to disconnect the camera cable to get the drive out but replaced it. After putting everything back together, the new drive seemed to burn discs well and everything (including the camera) worked perfectly.
Last night I came home to the laptop, which, as usual, was sleeping and connected to the AC adapter. Not as usual, it was really hot. I restarted it and when it rebooted the wifi icon had an x in it and said wifi:hardware not installed.
I reset the PRAM and the SMC. No luck.
I have an appointment to take it to a genius bar tomorrow afternoon, but what could I have done without realizing it?
Thanks for any suggestions (I have been working on Mac desktops and laptops for a number of years...this is the first time anything like this has happened to me...)

That is true. I cannot think of any way to test the Optical Drive without swapping it into a known correctly operating MBP.
A thought which probably may not be an issue. When I installed an Optical Drive in my old (2006) MBP, I remember seeing in the instruction manual an item called a grounding pad (which looked like a tiny steel brillo pad with out soap) which was missing in mine. The MBP worked and I essentially ignored it. Perhaps that may not be case with your situation.
My thoughts are that the Optical Drive is malfunctioning and the cause of your problem. Perhaps you should consider getting a new replacement from OWC. But that entails a $100 risk with no guarantees of success.
Ciao.

Wifi card not recognized after reboot.

I've got a Lenovo X140e and an Intel wifi card. (Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260) that I installed myself, since the support for the Broadcom card it came with was spotty.
If I reboot my laptop, the card won't show up with either iwconfig or even lspci. If I do a cold reboot (power down entirely and start back up), it will show up just fine.
What gives?
Relevant lspci output:
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 4b)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 38
Memory at f1300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi

When the card is recognized, rfkill lists it as unblocked; when it's not recognized, it doesn't show up at all.
I've got i3 installed; for connection management I've been sort of trying different things - netctl never works but wifi-menu has been pretty reliable. I haven't installed any special power management stuff at all - I'm not really sure how to find out what was auto-installed?
