[QUOTE="Wman, post: 811445, member: 62453"] Ok. I own a Powerbook G4 15" Aluminum. It is sort of a project. I bought it with many problems. I've fixed the screen and everything, but the wifi never worked past like one bar. It turns out the cable that connects the airport extreme card to the antenna (I replaced the antenna itself) has been pulled out so I am only receiving signals through the card directly. The missing component is this: [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=350144238983#ebayphotohosting]Airport Antenna Jumper Cable PowerBook G4 Al 15" Apple - eBay (item 350144238983 end time Feb-17-09 07:46:38 PST)[/url] (pictured in auction). I have the component now. So I opened up my powerbook and now I see that the cable goes under the PMCIA slot and I can't seem to route the new one through. Is there any way to replace this cable without removing the logic board? -thx PS: I will post pics soon, so you can see the problem [/QUOTE]
