Airport Card Problems in new powerbooks

The new PowerBooks are supposed to have better AirPort reception than the TiBooks. I'm very pleased with the reception on my 12" PB. You might want to make sure the antenna is properly plugged into the AirPort card. Sometimes they get loose, or someone forgets to plug them in, and you get very poor reception. If all else fails, take it into an Apple Store and explain the problem to them.
Look at your owner's manual for the procedure on installing an AirPort card. It will show you how to access it. You'll see a metal wire with an angled connector near the card. Make sure this connector is plugged into the little hole on the edge of the card. Firmly press it in until it clicks. If the connector is in, and you still experience problems, take it to Apple.
Are you sure it is an Apple store? I have never known an Apple store to not have certification and I've been to about 7 of them in the past couple of years.
an uncertified apple store...sounds like a white elephant to me
