Hello

Is this showing how to upgrade a MBP min2012 from non-retina to retina display?

Hi, I've seen this Airport board teardown and the Early 2015 one. I think that Airport board is the same and I would like to replace my board with the Early 2015 one. Can you tell me if is it possible? Can be driver issues? Mac OS version issues? Thank you

Thanks for this. I just used this to upgrade my Late 2012 to AC.

Hi Gary, so are you saying that you found a new Airport card that is AC for this “N” stock version ? If so, could you share a link to it?

Thanks!

Michael

Hi, I replaced the card. Even though I was not able to disconnect the battery, because some of the screws there are not screwable anymore after replacing the battery a couple of years ago…

But it worked. Wifi is working fine. But my main problem was that the Bluetooth did not work. The Computer did not even recognize that there is bluetooth hardware anymore, it says Bluetooth: not available.

Unfortunately this problems stays with the new card.

Might there be a falty wiring somewhere else? does anybody has another suggestion to try?

Thanks.
