After being dropped this macbook has no wireless or bluetooth connectivity. Ethernet internet access is fine. Can you please give some advice on how to access the airport (wireless) card ( is it in the hinge area?) so that I can check any connections. PS Your step by step guides are fantastic! After the drop the DVD drive would not accept any discs. So I used your guide to remove the drive and found the little arm that prevents another disc being inserted when there is already one loaded had been dislodged. I was able to reposition the arm and it is now working well. Thanks again
To access the card, which is under the display clutch cover (why you can’t “see” it) you have to Remove:
- Access door
- Battery
- Bottom case
- Camera cable guide
- LVDS cable guide
- Display assembly
- Display clutch cover just in order to see if the antennas or the ribbon cable have been disconnected in the sudden stop. Good Luck, N.
The Antenna is the least likely problem. Its most likely the cable or the card.
have that same problem with the CD / ROOM, but I found the way I always read the CD / ROOM, ….. Try this: Reset your system and while it is resetting, try inserting the CD or DVD to the drive accept CD / ROOM, note that the system will recognize the CD or DVD. Get the CD or DVD inserted you will use. PS: Preferably always keep a CD or DVD into your CD / ROOM., not to return to reset your computer.
