Disklavier

Dear intelligent Disklavier owners,
I have tried to re-insert my wireless card into the computer on my Mark IV to no avail. The handheld remote and the piano/computer had failed to communicate with each other, and I had removed the wireless card from the piano/computer to take a look. Somehow, it appears a pin is now bent and I cannot get the wireless card re-inserted now! Ideas?
Alternately, I have tried for HOURS to get an Apple express to connect to the Disklavier, using every online tool/video/PDF I could find. Probably the most helpful file I found is this one: http://www.midiplayertools.com/Documents/GJairportexpress.pdf. However, when I get to the final steps and try to connect to the Disklavier, nothing works. The light on the Apple Express flashes yellow no matter what I do. My computer and the airport utility says the unit is working/ is showing a green light. But it lies. The unit itself does NOT show a green light. 
I am one frustrated Disklavier owner. I needed to use the piano for my PA for a recent fundraiser in my home and wasn't able to get it to work due to the remote not connecting to the piano. It was after this event that I have spent countless hours trying to fix this issue. I don't like spending money on things I could do myself; I prefer to spend money on worthy projects like our peace initiative in N. Kenya and our local "tiny houses for the homeless" project (we raised money for both projects in December, the time I needed the piano for my PA!). Anyway, if someone could point me in the right direction, perhaps on Carol's site (i tried looking there too, but didn't seem to find anything that would help with this situation), I would be grateful.
By the way, I have tried controlling the piano from the DKV browser program on my computer (which worked at one time when I connected the piano via Ethernet to the router; that isn't working now either - the computer doesn't seem to recognize the piano) and from the "Droidklavier" app I installed on my phone. No luck. The piano isn't sending out or receiving a signal due to the lack of a functioning wireless card (I think!)

Good evening, everyone.

Shelley, it’s a shame to spend hours spinning your wheels. Sometimes, the shortest path to a solution is to call Yamaha Piano Service: (800) 854-1569 between 8:30-5:00 PST.

Regards,
PianoBench

I live an hour and a half from the nearest Yamaha technician, but at least I know there is one in the general area! I'll give them a call. I know there are those on the group who are incredibly gifted in networking, trouble-shooting, etc. I don't know if this issue can be fixed or not without a lot of expense, and I don't have the available funds to devote to fixing it. So --- I may end up with an expensive medium-sized regular piano rather than a nice Disklavier. Sigh.

PianoBench - a quick call to Martin ad the Yamaha Services and I have an inexpensive solution! Yay! He directed me to a PCMCIA > CF adapter which I can use to connect my PRC (which still works) to the computer (which isn't receiving any signal because of the bent pins). Then, I can set things up to network with my computer, my phone, etc. Yes, I have more work ahead of me and may need to phone again, but I am on my way! Another  member also helped out with suggestions which will work once I have the adapter and can access the computer through it. 
Thanks!Shelley
