Blue iMac G3 500 Mhz not detecting Airport Card

Hi everyone,

Nice forum. Lots of helpful advice to keep my iMac G3 and PowerBook G4 running smooth and looking good, but I've met an odd problem and I need help.

I just installed a brand new Apple AirPort Wireless Card (802.11b) into my Blue iMac G3 500 Mhz. I followed the installation instructions (albeit brief instructions) that came with my iMac exactly. Turn the iMac back on and I can't seem to find the AirPort Card in the system profiler. It seems the computer isn't detecting it. So, I rinsed and repeated the installation 3 more times just incase I didn't push the antenna in all the way or so other minor detail. Still the OS 10.3.8 is still not detecting the AirPort Card in the system profiler nor can I see the card in the network configurator. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

Bad Card??

Yeah, I thought about that and I can't rule that out. If I take it back to the store where I bought it and they test it OK, they'll charge me a $15 technician fee (I know :confused: ). I am just hoping the lot of you might have other ideas. I supposed something could be wrong with the antenna where it attaches to the computer. I dig a little more into the computer tomorrow. If any of you have any other ideas, please share them.
