Just completed the tutorial on tightening the loose display screen. Everything went perfectly but when I powered back up it said I have no wifi hardware installed. I tried doing all the PRAM resets and all but no change. I did somehow pop off one of the connectors for the 3 little gold wifi wires but I was able to crimp it back on and it seems fine. Also the Bluetooth is not recognized anymore either. Do I need a new airport card or wifi antenna?If so where can I find it? Thanks guys. Appreciate any help.
Hey there! Looks like your display is no longer connecting to your airport board, or your board was damaged while you were tightening your display. Unfortunately, those little gold connectors have a very small core, which makes putting them back together successfully a bit more difficult than it may appear. I’d try replacing the board if you’ve made sure everything looks like it’s going to the right places. If a new board still isn’t being recognized, you’re basically looking at getting a new display, or finding where the fault in your current monitor is. Here’s hoping it’s the former! When handling the bluetooth boards, make sure to touch the gold connection at the end.
