ONE DOWN! Phreak, it was indeed the cable on the Airport card! Typing this from the beastie...Airport card firmly re-tucked in its innards. Silly me, I thought the external card and the internal card would be on the same cable. So, that problem solved. The sound card issue may have to wait until I do a teardown to replace the screen on this one (there is an exterior side crack). But now I don't have to worry about grabbing the Motorola card for this one. Thanks for the help! J
