new ibook 12" and airport extreme range
yesterday i received my new ibook 12'' 1.2ghz 768mb 60gb, airport ready. but it seemed that my airport connectivity wasn't terrrific, in fact it was so poor i thought about calling apple and asking for a replacement computer.
i opened the ibook, i pulled the card out, i put i back in again, nothing changed. but then, rather by chance i happened to have another ibook with airport card side by side with my new one. and i noticed, that the plug of the antenna didn't fit in the new one as it did in the old.
in the new ibook, the ring of the plug was visible as much as the grey boarder of the airport extreme card; whereas in the other ibook it was barely visible (compare the image attached.)
i then tried to plug it all the way in, but it was too tiny and too much hidden to manipulate it with great force. so i took the card out where it would be easier to handle. like this, i could really press precisely on the appropriate parts. i was afraid to break something, because i really had to press hard, but then it gave in and fitted the same way as you can see in the picture on the right hand side.
