Hey
Ive searched the internet quite a bit today to try figure out:
Can you break onboard wifi controller by plugging in the antennae while pc is on?
Details:
I have an asus crosshair hero VIII wifi version. I needed to use a bluetooth device this morning, which i seldom do, and realised the antenna had not been attached since i last transported the pc. I plugged the antennae in while the pc was in bluetooth discovery mode and then then everything vanished - as in the bluetooth pairing options.
I looked at my device manager and it said that my wifi and bluetooth modules have been disconnected! I started with the usual drivers reset and reinstall. nothing. I then did a clean win 10 install and they dont show up at all, even if i say 'view hidden devices'. In the bios they are still enabled..
Is it possible that I have blown the wifi controller on the mobo? I never thought it would be possible! Thoughts?
