No AirPort card installed!??

Hi there to those nice enough to try and help me! Did an erase and install (and zero HD) two days ago on my 1st generation MBP and everything worked fine till today! My Airport suddenly seemed to freeze and I was unable to turn it off. I ended up re-starting to then be presented with the error saying no AirPort card installed! Its also not in the sytem profiler! I have read through the other topics on here already and someone suggested deleting the old airport and making a new one, but I can't make a new one as it is not in one of the services! Please help!!

Regards,
Pym, Owner Gamerswl.com

Was it a card problem? Did they get you a new one?

I solved this issue by downloading the combo 10.5.8 installer from Apple and installing it. My issue began after installing 10.5.8 update from Software Update.

I had this problem last week and I solved it simply by upgrading my operating system to 10.6.2. All of problems containing "No airport card installed" fixed !

PS I posted it here because the thread is about the Airport card message-seems a very funny coincidence if its not related

Holding down command-option-P-R worked for me as well! Much quicker to Google my problem and find the solution here than call Apple support - thanks!

Hi, I got the same problem, do I need to remove the battery for the command-option-p-r method...

Thanks

... it didn't stay that way, it lasts a few hours then drops. Doing the key combination works each time but it's not ideal.

I had same problem with my MBP - SMC reset worked a treat first time. Thanks everyone....

Hello this worked for me: also read my thread...

Just press gently on the black plastic hinge cover of your MBP!!!!!

It'll sort the connection issue, at least for a while.

Cheerio!
