Hi all I got the ac card from Taobao. Some professional contacts in China ordered it for me and sent them out for me. So I installed it, The form factor is exactly the same as the previous one. It's recognized as an ac card without a problem. Now I had to bring the mac back to the apple store because f some strange coating peeling off the screen. They agreed to change the screen (after over 2 years of ownership) for free. The tech man called me at some point telling me the wifi card wasnt recognized. I explained why and he didnt make a fuss about i, wich is great. He just told me to watch out : The card I have isntalled doesnt have the thermal insulator the original had, and it could be a problem if the wifi cards started to heat and could damage the motherboard. So I guess I'm going to peel off the insulator from the original card and put it on the new one... Just be warned.
Hi all ! I have a one year old 15" retina MbP. Could it be possible, if the part becomes available somehow, to replace the Wifi card on my mac with an ac one like on the new model ? Or does the form factor change ?
