17-inch PowerBooks get Airport panicky too
Authored by: tlassiter on Sep 02, '03 11:23:24PM

17-inch PowerBooks also apparently are prone to this problem. Mine was, and from reading Apple's discussion boards, others are. too. But on the large PowerBook, the card is not user accessible.

After I had a kernel panic, the machine could not see the Airport card. Period. Nor could I get it to reboot. When it ate the boot/repair CD, it was time for a trip to Houston.

It took two trips to the repair lab to get my laptop straightened out ... and I'm not sure I trust it yet. I think there were gremlins in the factory. Especially if new PowerBooks are announced soon in Paris.
