Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Wifi and Bluetooth wont turn on

Hello,

I have a Kindle fire HD 8.9. The wireless and Bluetooth can no longer be turned on. I checked for a MAC address and neither are present. After performing multiple reboots and a factory reset I still have the same results. I have opened to case to check for loose connections but all seem to be in order from the daughter card to the motherboard. I was wondering if anyone has had this same experience and if so did you replace the wireless daughter card or motherboard, or both?

Thank you

Hello,

Just wanted to let anyone know that replacing the "Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Camera Daughterboard" fixed the issue. After replacing the board I had to perform another reboot after powering it back up for the MAC address to show up. Once I did that the MAC addresses showed for WiFi and Bluetooth.

The only struggle I had was connecting the two cables back that go between the display portion and back portion. Take you time and all should be good. This was pretty easy to replace.

Thanks
