My G4 just moved from Illinois to Georgia and when i plugged it in and logged on it wasn't reading my airport card. I already tried the reset-nvram and reset-all and it still isn't reading it. I think maybe it was jostled loose in the car ride. Can someone tell me where in my mac the airport card is, and what it looks like?
Got a tip for us?

If your G4 had the Airport card in it, it will be towards the hinge on the left hand side(towards the front of the G4) when you open it up. It slides into that metal sleeve and there will be a wire attached to the card which is the antenna.
The original airport card looks like this:
