Great tutorial. Unfortunately I booted back up and my Bluetooth is no longer working. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there some sort of reset that can be done to "recognize" the new card? I'm still able to turn Bluetooth on and off from system preferences but my apple keyboard and mouse do not connect. Thanks for any insights :)
If you change your bluetooth card, its MAC address will change. Since pairing is done by MAC, you will need to re-pair all devices.
My Wifi failed, "no hardware found", but the Bluetooth still worked. I replaced the board, but still no dice. Turns out it was the cable. Lesson learned: try the cheaper part first! Not a total loss, now I have Bluetooth 4.
Does the wifi/bluetooth ribbon cable have some kind of glue? Mine is flyaway, so i don't know if it's ok to just put tape over connector or do i need glue? Thanks and sorry for my bad english... Obrigado
