Wifi No Hardware Installed

I am not getting wifi. I had a no hardware installed message, before i reinstalled OS X. Now i don't even have a wifi option. Bluetooth and I sight works fine.

What I've tried so far. Ive replaced the wifi card. Same result

Next I ordere a used cable and tried that without removing the display and attaching one end of the cable to the i sight camera. This gave me no wifi or bluetooth (or i sight because i didn't hook that end up ) I thought this cable may be defective so i ordered another one. Same result. Do i potentially have three bad cables, or do the two "new" ones have to bee connected to i sight in order for wifi and bluetooth to work. Thank you in advance.

Check the card connector. Someone here with similar problems found out that they had bent a pin on the connector (they too tried multiple cards). Fortunately they were able to straighten the pin without breaking it off.

I inspected both sides of the connector they look good.

Did you use a mirror and a light and look inside the slot?
