Horror of horrors this morning: the wireless on my MacBook disappeared. It didn’t get physically removed, it just… vanished.
The icon I have on the menu bar just kept saying “No Airport Card installed”. I thought two things: either it’s physically fried, or my daughter’s “tinterneting” (that is, banging the keyboard) has made it pop loose. Both would require a dismantle, and it isn’t a job for the impatient.
Thankfully, there was another, less intrusive, thing to try first – zapping the PRAM.
Turn off the MacBook, then turn it back on and hold Command-Option-P-R. Keep them held down until you get three startup chimes, then let go.
As if by magic, the card “reappeared” and all is well with the world once more!
Sometimes there are things that just need to escape my head.
i actually love you! that just happened to me this morning and i almost died!! thanks so much
