[QUOTE="songjoey, post: 1322090, member: 205586"] My MacMini mid 2011 i5 has a broken bluetooth/wireless antenna connector. It was very flimsy and even being cautious it broke & cannot be connected. I have had a friend who is in electronics for years and he says it might not work if soldered.... without the possibility of also rendering the antenna inoperative... if the soldering didnt work. Sooo, #1 Two others have also said I need a new card..... but both the service techs and I cannot find the card in stock...... only backordered (how long ????) Where Is there any replacement card compatible for this New MacMini 2011? or genuine Apple replacement card availability? #2 If I decided to not replace the card ($200 repair/w card) Will Airport still function with a USB adaptor of some kind (please suggest) and how well?? Lastly, soldering possibility or other fix??? (please suggest) pleas help! [/QUOTE]
