Only Wifi greyed out, what can it be.

Hey guys,

After cleaning it starts normaly and everythink work quite fine.

But the only think wich not working is the wifi. The Symbol greyed out, and only the wifi symbol, bluetooth works.

Hi there , Freddred!

Soldering is not my expertize, but there are many people here who can.. So, I’d expect an answer super quick!

Glad to see that the antenna was the answer but sad that one capacitator fell off.

@freddred ,

It sounds like you knocked off the C5202_RF which is PP_VCC_MAIN Cap

Gently clean up the underfill that surrounds it, add a bit of flux, clean pads and put it back... should be an easy repair

Good Luck!
