Bluetooth and WIFI problems after SSD Install

Hello everybody!

I was install SSD to my Mac Mini 2011. Everything goes fine, cause ifixit install guide is awesome.

But after assembling my Mac and power on it, I can't use bluetooth and wifi. Mac reports Bluetooth: Not Available in upper bar.

System Profiler says nothing about bluetooth adapter installed. In WiFi (under Network section) I see WiFi Airport.

I think all cables installed and connected properly, but Mac don't think like that. SMC and NVRAM reset doesn't help me after all.

Any thoughts? Maybe airport/bluetooth plate was broken?

Thanks a lot for any help! (sorry for my english)

Sounds like the AirPort ribbon cable either is not connected or got damaged somehow.

You'll need to open the system up again follow this IFIXIT guide: Mac Mini Mid 2011 AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement. Follow the guide up to Step18. You can see the cable at this point for a more detail of the cable look at Step21 & 22.
