Can I use an alternate Airport Card in my iMac?
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 / Wireless, iMac
Hello!
I have a problem with my Airport Card and want to change it out. Can I use the card MB363Z/A without any problems? My Mac is an iMac 24″ 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo and the Airport Card I use is bcm 94321 mc.
Best wishes,
Dimitrios
Although I have not tried it myself, it should work. When ordering Apple service parts for your system it notes the compatible machines as:
iMac (17-inch Late 2006), iMac (24-inch), Mac Pro, iMac (20-inch Late 2006)
You should be fine, just note that it is a very extensive repair that requires the removal of the front casing and shielding. Also the antenna connectors are fragile so work lightly.
Good luck!
