Title:

Airport Card not found, No USB power left side...

Text:

Recently was given a broken MBP A1226. Took laptop apart covered MB w/aluminum foil and heated the graphics card and now am able to use the computer. Purchased a brand new 85w power cable/cord, installed a brand new airport card, and 2x 2GB SDDR RAM upgrades.

I have performed the following: (With old RAM and new RAM)

-Rechecked all connections

-Tried to add a new network connection

-Deleted and re-installed OS X

-Booted from CD

-Reset PRAM and SMC

-Unable to find under -listallnetworkhardware

-Repair disk/Verify disk

On a side note... took the battery into BatteryPlus and they said that the battery was running hot, a regulator had gone bad. I also have no function on the left USB. Power cable light comes on when plugged in, mic and headphone jacks work.

Is it possible that my left I/O magboard gone/going bad and would cause the battery problem, usb, and airport card to not function? Or am I looking at a couple separate problems?

Thanks again in advance.
