I dropped my Macbook on the floor and the lcd screen broke.

I changed it and now it works fine.

Now though the left USB and the Airport does not work.

Attached are images of how it looks in System Profiler and Network Settings.

Can you diagnose where the fault is?

I can change the cards, as long as I know for sure that where the issue is.

Thank you for your help in advance,

Christoffer

Before you consider replacing anything, you'll need to partially disassemble the laptop, removing the top case, so that you can ensure all the connectors are snugly fitted and haven't come out.

Follow the iFixit guide for replacing the logic board - only, you shouldn't have to remove anything.
 
All connectors are fitted and ok.

Because the card is seen in the System Profiler, my guess is that it would be the antenna or antenna cables.

Can someone with the A1260 check if their System Profiler looks the same?
 
Doesn't look like the card is seen to me. There should be more info on the System Profiler>Airport page. You most likely need to reseat the connector on the BOTTOM of the left I/O board to the logic board or replace the left I/O board.
