[QUOTE="reubenkeeney, post: 1583423, member: 326106"] Hi guys, first poster here. Hopefully you guys can help me with my issue (been having alot of problems with it). I am currently running MacBook Pro 2009 2.8GHZ Core 2 Duo. (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) Basically the screen was coming apart from the lid, so it needed to be glued back together. After successfully doing this, I discovered that my WI-FI will not work, coming up with 'WIFI - NO HARDWARE FOUND'. Initially I thought I did not connect up the wifi card properly, so I disassembled again to find that actually everything is connected fine. there seems to be no shorts or breaks within any of the ribbons and all seems to be sitting normally.. Upon startup, the Wi-Fi would not connect still but I noticed that the bluetooth still works fine (I read that WIFI+Bluetooth are both connected, I may be wrong).. I tried fixes from doing a PRAM reset, to deleting .com files in Preferences, but no joy.. I have attached some System Profile screen shots that will hopefully shed some more light. I don't wanna go out and buy a new wifi card etc unless I am sure that it is definitely hardware problems.. Thanks so much in advance for the help guys!
