A Wi-Fi card, also known as a WLAN card, enables the laptop to connect to a wireless network.

Be sure to rule out other connectivity issues listed here before replacing your Wi-Fi card.

Make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources before you begin.

Hi, thanks a lot the helpful guide. I have just replaced the WiFi card in my Lenovo T480s with a Intel AX210NGW. My laptop won't boot up. Even when I plug the power adapter into the laptop, the status indicator does not light up. I have removed the WiFi card and tried to power it on without it but no luck. I put back the one that was in before still no luck. I'm stuck, what can I do? Did some power component get disturbed or something? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
