[QUOTE="musolen, post: 252266"] The Airport on my G4 1Ghz(OSX 10.3.9)Powerbook has gone. I got a system crash out of the blue and it would only restart with extensions off. I ran Techtool Pro, Norton, Disk Warrior, Hardware Tests etc but everything came up fine. The airport card was the culprit. I backed up everything and did a complete system reinstall but the Airport card is still not recognised when everything else works fine - "no card recognised" in the 'About this Computer' panel although it is still internally connected. I ordered a Brand New internal airport card which arrived yesterday. It is major surgery on this G4 to fit but I have just finished and the problem is EXACTLY the same. "No airport card recognised" with a brand new card in there. I have checked the seating connection a thousand times but it is as firm as it is going to be. If I rule out the Airport Card,(I have tried 2 cards) Software (I re-installed) and connections (they are seated as well as they can be) is there anything else I can try? I am at a loss as to what the problem can be so any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Musolen [/QUOTE]
