Just to say if you only need to replace the cable the from the main logic to the Airport card it is very simple after battery disconnect its just pry up logic board connector carefully then peel back tape at airport card and remove cable.

Thats all there is to the cable replacement and it fixed my No wifi hardware found and intermittent wifi which it would seem is a common fault As always a great guide thank you.

what's the difference between the normal "phillips screws" and the "shouldered phillips screws"?

Daniel Rathlef - Antwoord

If you look closely with the screws (my eyes needed a magnifying glass) you will see that some of them have heads that are "stepped". hard to describe in words.
