Snow Airport Base Station works, but no signal

Hi List,

The airport seems to be working fine because when I attach it directly to my tibook via an ethernet cable, I can access it. I just updated the airport to the latest firmware as well.

Here's the problem - I don't a signal at all from it. I've opened up the abs to check to make sure that the antenna is snug, but still no luck.

I've done a hard reset according to Apple's tech info doc.

The three white lights are acting normal.

And if I'm not mistaken, airport reception has nothing to do with whether or not my cable modem is working (even though it is).

I've even opened it up completely because there was a site that mentioned that the flux in the solder could have melted and fried the board. No signs of that either.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Check the connections to the Airport card in your PB.
