Computer does not detect the Wifi/Bluetooth module
テキスト:
Hello, I have an issue with ***Lenovo ThinkPad T480s*** Wifi and Bluetooth.
The computer does not detect the Wifi/Bluetooth module, there is nothing under Device Manager even when I turn the "Show hidden devices" option. The computer has a fresh installation of Windows 11.
What I have tried so far:
* Manually install all of the necessary drivers
* Reset BIOS by disconnecting the battery and CMOS (Wifi is enabled in BIOS)
* Move the Wifi/Bluetooth module to another T480s that also has a fresh installation of Windows 11 (It works fine on another computer)

I'm not sure what other steps I could take to diagnose the issue, do I just assume there is an issue with the motherboard? Thanks for any help.

Thanks to @jayeff I was able to identify the issue. I was about to check the voltage as it was suggested but found that there were missing multiple components so the wifi module was definitely not getting 3.3v. Since I don't do soldering I will bring it to the repair shop.
