    Apple Macbook Air A1466 820-3437 No WiFi, No Ethernet

    Hi all, I have a bit of a strange one.
    I have a Macbook Air (board model 820-3437) with WiFi showing no networks and missing device in network settings. However, Bluetooth functionality does appear to be working (as I assume this is over USB protocol). I've attempted checking with several different USB WiFi dongles w/ their respective drivers, an OS reload, a thunderbolt ethernet adapter, and 2 different USB ethernet adapters, none of which seem to go online. Other devices on the network are working correctly. This is on a fresh install of macOS Big Sur.

    No visible corrosion on either side of board.
    WiFi card connector (J3501) clean with no corrosion inside either.

    PP3V3_WLAN - 3.4V
    PP3V3WLAN_VMON - 1.04V
    AP_CLKREQ_Q_L - 0v
    AP_RESET_L - 3.2V
    AP_RESET_CONN_R_L - 3.3V
    SMC_WIFI_PWR_EN - 3.4V

    Resistors around U3540 seem clean.
    Anyone encounter this before?
    Thanks.

    check carefully if j connector pins are solid or if they move.

      All pins at connector appear solid. No movement with force from pushing with tweezers.
