1 Make sure thermal
pad is centered on
AirPort Card rather
than stuck to display
assembly tab.
2 Important: Check the
AirPort cable At the
end of the cable, on
the metal part, there
are two grounding
fingers (two U-shaped
marks). Orient the
grounding fingers so
they are facing the
AirPort card and are
in contact with the
AirPort card
connector. The
grounding fingers
should NOT be facing
you. Inserting the
cable incorrectly will
cause logic board
failure!
Caution: When
testing an AirPort
card connection, wait
at least 5 seconds
after shutdown
before connecting
the camera cable
connection to the
logic board. Waiting
less than that could
damage the AirPort
card.
