    • Do not lift the AirPort board too high, or you could damage the contacts or socket.

    • Pull the AirPort board straight out of its socket on the logic board.

    • There is a slightly adhesive thermal pad beneath the AirPort board. Be sure to reapply this when reinstalling the board, or transfer it to your replacement board.

Hi! I need to replace the cable with the 3 prongs on the end. Do you have a video for that and would you be able to tell me where I can buy the cable?

Maria Juliano - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Hello Maria - Did you ever find the cable and how a guide to replace it? Anyone on ifixit know where to get this part? I need one too.

Tony -

Yea this cable is easily damaged. Just broke mine trying to put in the new cord…the contact got bent and is no longer able to fit on the little button like socket. So annoying! Definitely need a replacement cable now…

Alex Backman -

Is there any WiFi6 replacement card compatible, so I would not just fix a broken one, but upgrade to 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5.x? All valuable comments are welcome.

Alex AA - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Bonjour,

c'est possible de la changer aussi sur le Macbook pro 13" de mi-2012 ?
