1 cable from wifi board to main board is broken
my macbook pro 17 early 2011 does not recognize wifi card.
i have changed wifi card and says the same. because i have a macbook pro 13 late 2011, i have test the wifi board on both mac, and only works on mbp 13. but i have changed the cable from wifi card to the main board card from the mbp13 to mbp 17, and then works.
so, i can see that what does not work from the mbp17 is the cable, not the wifi card.
is it possible to replace it?

Es esta una buena pregunta?

Lets back up here a moment... You have two statements which can't be correct. The MacBook 17" model uses an Airport card thats mounted in the clutch cover and the MacBook 13" late 2011 model uses a different Airport card which is mounted just behind the optical drive under the bottom cover. The connections are different so you couldn't plug one in for the other.
