Chosen Solution

Recently purchased and intalled Airport/BLuetooth card on my MacBook Air Retina late 2012 model. Everything went smoothly but I get “Device Hardware Not Installed” when booting.. I’ve tried all the web tricks (resetting power, etc),, but I think my problem might be elsewhere in the cable or antenna? Question is do you have other components that I could try? If no, can I de-install and return the card for refund? Thanks, Mike
