Has anyone run into this or heard about this. My G4 Albook 12" works fine in all other aspects. I put the AP card in, and I get the grey apple startup screen, the little segmented wheel starts spinning at the bottom, then stops. end of startup. force shutdown required. I put in another working airport card from another 12" Albook and it did the same thing. I googled and did apple forums but found nothing.

Thanks in advance. I'll try to answer any questions you shoot my way.

Are you sure you have inserted the AE card completely? This is a common problem in the 12". Make sure you've inserted the card all the way until you feel it "click" and until the end of it is completely flush with the edge of the bottom case of the machine. The problem is that even if it's not in all the way, it will still fit under the little Airport door in the battery bay. Try removing and reinstalling it to make sure you've got it in all the way.
