Hopefully someone here can help.

My 12" Powerbook (bought in 2004; 1.33 ghz, 1.25 mb RAM) has suddenly lost its AirPort functions. In the System Profiler, the AirPort card no longer appears. The AirPort icon in the menu is gone. In Network Connect it's gone, too.

Can someone help me diagnose what has happened or suggest a fix? Can hardware like an AirPort card fail without prompting a failure message? Is there a way to re-awaken my AirPort card? My favourite little computer is proving to be mortal. Please help me rescue it.
