ibook g3 does not find installed airport card

[joyous jorge]

hello my ibook g3 says the appropiate hardware is not found on the computer when i start airport admin utility. I just installed the original airport card and it doesn't recognize the hardware. what do i do? my os is 10.2.8 and my airport is 3.1.1. I tried to install airport 3.1.1 again but the system says it still does not find the airport card and says for me to install it and shut it down. ...help...

Maybe recheck the card's connection. Make sure it's in nice and firm... Misinterpret at your own peril.

thanks i keep doing that but it still doesnt work

 

[mad jew]

Okay, try resetting the PMU. 🙂

i did it but nothing, but after resetting the pmu the time didnt go to zero like in the instructions

 

[mad jew]

The time won't generally go to zero but rather some abstract, strange date. Nevertheless, sometimes the machine updates with the internet before you even notice it was ever incorrect.

Is there a chance it's a faulty card? Can you try it on a different Mac? Remember that only older Macs will let you use the original AirPort card. 😱
