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

@Greyzone99 Many thanks for this info. It's unbelievable, my wireless is working perfect once again and I don't have to spent Euro 750,- for a new logic board. 😁

Sorry to say, I was still under warranty so it was free.

I updated my macbook pro 2 days ago, immediate the update, WIFI connnection went off, and show "Air-port card not installed".. Anyone face the same issue and how to solve it?

I just had a similar problem and was easily fixed by shutting down my Macbook pro. Holding down the option+command+pwr button and magically fixed itself... But if that doesn't work then I'm lost 😝

Nothing worked: finally went retro and installed an ethernet cable for her. That did work.

A year ago (since my last post), I bought a USB unit with an antena for the far end of my yard reception. It was an Edimax. works well.

My internal card still works intermittently.

Had the same exact problem. In my case it was the cable between the Airport card and the board. It would work intermittantly enough to think other attempts to fix it would work -- but it would eventually fail again. A local tech, who was lazy and had a bad attitude, swapped out the Airport card -- but the problem came right back.

Get the cable replaced. It isn't expensive -- and should do the trick.
