No wifi after hwfly.

Hello everyone.

Does anybody know the rail that the wifi takes and I can follow it? Everything appears fine but the wifi is not working.

I do see a little scuff in the silkscreen I marked in red. If those tore the trace is that the issue? I can't confirm because it goes under a chip but it doesn't look deep enough.

Edit. I found my problem

If you haven't fixed it yet, I can confirm that will kill wireless communication. I knocked those capacitors off when I did my first install. One microscope purchase later and I had them flowed back into place. Been working fine since. If I were you I'd jumper from the capacitors to the test pads up near the wireless chip.

Did the WiFi stop working at all? Or were there problems with the Wifi operation when you use the console?

In my case, all Wifi´s are displayed reliably, but I cannot connect to my WLAN. I keep getting error messages when trying to connect.
