Thanks. Took all of 20 minutes start to finish to upgrade my broken NIC.
Hmm, look like an M.2 interface, could an M.2 SSD be installed instead?
Can confirm that the airport card for the 2015 Macbook Pro fits and functions perfectly as a replacement if you can’t find the mac mini one.
If something wrong with my bluetooth, is it also replace this logic board ?
