The ribbon cable Socket on the logic board which connects to the airport ribbon cable is not working and looks broken. I am wondering if anyone knows how I might fix this problem without buying a $500 new logic board. Is it possible to unsolder and re-solder the connection for the ribbon cable to the logic board? or is this a deeper issue that will require a logic board replacement?
It can be replaced, but since it’s soldered to the logic board it takes a bit of work and a donor board from where the socket should be taken from. Being a plastic part its removal and resoldering requires a bit of skills, experience and tools..not a DIY job, but it can surely be done by someone into component level repairs.
