Hi.
I've broke the lcd of my bmp, so i removed the lcd part of my mac (the entire upside part).
now it works right with an external display but i can't connect over wifi.
the wifi card is in the "screen part" of my mbp.
so my question is:
can i remove the wifi card from here and insert into the "lower case" ( where is motherboard,hd,ect) ?
i don't care about the screen,so no matter if it break during the process.

Ps : sorry for my english :D

Your English is fine. The entered your question is no, I don't think that would work.

Luckily, there is a much less troublesome solution.many companies make inexpensive USB plugs that function as Wi-Fi antennas. If you can find one that says it is Mac compatible, it should be a simple matter of plugging it in and installing the driver.

Why not change the lcd? If you already took out the screen - its not really hard, the main challenge is not breaking the (glued) glass. Lcd should be about $50 from ebay.

Unless this is an unusual Apple model laptop (to the best of my knowledge)...the Wifi card is not located in the display area (upper part)...the WiFi card/hardware is located in the lower part. What is in the "upper part" is the WiFi antenna. No WiFi antenna = no WiFi.
