Anyone out there had any positive experience of repairing a broken antenna wire ? The split is about an inch away from the logic board. My confusion arose because the seller had accidentally connected the dummy ide port on the imac while pinching the airport cable, after I had started assembling it had just snapped, and the points where it snapped were right inside that ide port on the board so I convinced myself it belonged there !
So my question is does anyone have any knowledge of repairing ? In a duct tape world I could just strip a piece of insulation and twist the two together and retape. I don't feel comfortable soldering this. On Apr 1, 5:38 pm, johnwd5 <[email protected]> wrote: > Turned out to be a badly pinched airport cable that had snapped.
