Switch after Picofly No BT or WiFi

[satel]

Hi,

I took my new v2 switch to some guy to install a Picofly in it & when I received it back from him BT & WIFI don't work & he is unable to fix it for a week , any idea what could be the problem so I can tell him. Thanks

BCM4356 chip or the antenna are probably your culprit.

Can you please explain how installation of Picofly can damage the BCM4356?

Probably he damaged the chip, or damaged the connector for the antenna on the board.

Are these issues repairable as he can't seem to fix the switch

Maybe it will work if you replace the BCM4356, that chip handle Bluetooth and Wifi, but you might want to double check the antenna.

There are two capacitors next to the APU shield that if knocked off will also cause this problem. Many, including myself have knocked these off while attempting to remove the shield.
