I have a 1Ghz eMac and a Dual 1,42GHz FW800 PowerMac G4, both bought used
and without AirPort card. I needed Wifi on the eMac and I bought what I
think is the correct AirPort vía eBay. When it arrived I put it on the eMac
but it did not recognize it. I tried on the PowerMac (loaned to a friend)
and, again, no luck. The seller was kind enough to send me another card in
exchange for mine and when he received it he acknowledged it didn`t work.
I tried the new card and had the same problem. I contacted the seller and he
assured me the card was working when he send it to me, telling me maybe my
computers had some kind of electrical probelm which was damaging the cards.
They came very well packaged and doesn`t looks like they suffered any damage
in transit.
So, is there any possibility a damaged AirPort slot can damage a card? Also,
is there anyway to test the AirPort slot to know if it is working.
I guess the problem may be on the eMac since in both cases I tried the card
on it first.
Thanks!
