Thanks brother. This was quite helpful.
what does that number on the centre of the card mean 607-4144A? I ordered one but it has a different number. Will it still work?
The sticker on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro said 607-6331-A, but the replacement part I received was a different number (I believe it was the number you mentioned in you comment). It ended up working perfectly fine in mine, despite being a different number
Is it possible to upgrade the network card on this to a better one? this network card seems quite slow on mine.
A replacement should help but it will not be an upgrade.
Can i use the same procedure for Macbook Pro 2009 5,5?
thank you very much...it helps a lot
is this to replace the card with a card that is AC compatible?> ist hat possible? or is this just for replacing it with the exact same part if the part was faulty?
Would the wifi card from a 2010 13" fit in a 2010 15"? My 13" battery has died bt the wifi is good, my 15" wifi died years ago and not used for ages. It's a backup mac for my workshop.
There is one screw I can't remove. The one on the right most side of LVDS Bracket screws. I used a PH00 philips screw driver and a T3 but nothing works. Now I'm stuck here and couldn't continue in detaching the LCD
I know, I know.. It's old video but I got a question.. Is it possible to replace BT 2,1 with BT 4 form let say.. MBP 2012 ?
How do you know if I need you need to replace the antenna or the card?
Antenna never goes bad
Well, my card was damaged, so the macbook was turning into a white screen (without apple logo or something), when I disconnected the card, it turned on correctly. So I think that if the antenna is failing, at least the macbook will turn on
hi, what speed with the new wifi module?
Hi, I have a 2010 13 inch macbook running high sierra, but this problem has already been present when running the original OS for this mac. My problem is that the wifi card cannot detect any networks. Very rarely though, it can detect the networks but cannot maintain a connection very long. If it does detect and connect to networks, signal and connectivity is very good. Other devices in the house can detect and connect to networks without problems.
I have tried adding a new location, deleting the wifi and adding it again in system preferences, and even opening up the laptop and remove and reinsert the wifi card but none have solved the problem.
Should I just replace the wifi card?
Hi there, I guess so, I also have that same problem with the same model and it says that no airport card installed. I tried checking it with the repair services and I was told that it needs to replace a new wifi (AirPort) card.
And may I know how are you able to install MacOS High Sierra on your MB 2010?
Ramon Gozum
I was able to install high sierra following the instructions in this video

I ended up replacing the wifi card and the problem was fixed. Because it is located in the hinge, it is prone to accidents/failure, and this is a design flaw, as demonstrated in other videos as well.
One more thing, the commands are not the same/available in the old OS, so I made the bootable dirve using another newer model macbook running a higher OS. I’m sure you can also do it through a windows device but I don’t have a link for that.
Sean Cimafranca Right. Thank you so much and I will then try it :)
Sean Cimafranca Thank you so muchhhh. Hoping that this time it will work.
Can u please share the link for the wifi card replacement @saveappledollars
Did anybody's monitor not come back on? If so, what did you do?
Make sure the LVDS connector is in snug.
Thanks, Alex. Have you ever changed the WiFI cable on this model. I ordered one and it looks easy except for the part which has the skinny cable, can't figure out how to get to that. I'm hoping that doesn't connect to the camera.
It does and you have to take of the LCD Glass to get to it. It's very difficult and very easy to crack. Before attempting to take off the glass, you should order a glass replacement for $15 in case you crack it. www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LCD-LED-Screen-Display-Glass-c-w-MacBook-Pro-13-A1278-2009-2010-2011-2012-/121243671418?hash=item1c3aaf9b7a:g:6PgAAOSwyQtVr-VS
I'm having recurring wifi dropouts. I can't switch it back on unless I restart, and even after restarting sometimes if won't reconnect. Than on occasions it says "no hardware installed" with an x on a wifi. Then later it will reconnect when I move to a different location. I have no idea what is hapenning. Should I replace the wifi card? I have an mid 2010 macbook...
+bShpend Mula watch this video, it will guide you along www.appledollars.com/wifi-repair
Thank you so much for the tip! This channel is without a doubt the best on these matters. I will let you know how it goes!
Great, keep us updated.
Shpend Mula did you replace the wifi card? I’m having the same issues you noted above. Did anything work for you?
@@devanbruce1605 In my case, with the mid 2010 Macbook Pro, all I had to replace was the wi-fi cable. I bought only the cable on ebay, for couple of dollars, and it still works without any issues. I suggest you try this first before buying the wi-fi card itself, which is more expensive.It is easily replaced on this model, because as you can see on the video, it's on the surface.
What is the wifi cable part # ?
Depends on the model. Check out the ifixit.com repair guide for your specific model, they have part numbers there and you can even get it from them.
Me encantan los videos que ya se desmonto anteriormente.. y sale todo muy facil ...
jajajaja
How the fuck did he make 2:59 look so easy
