Wifi and Bluetooth won't work anymore "Hardware not available", Macbook Pro Early 2011, High Sierra

Dear community,


I'm working on my Macbook Pro Early 2011 on High Sierra 10.13.6 I know it very old, but it still runs smoothyl, I changed to an SSD hard disk, increased the RAM some time ago, so everything is fine. A further iOS update was not possible anymore however.


Yesterday, out of a sudden Bluetooth did not work anymore, it says "Blootooth not available". The Bluetooth sign has a bar through it. I cannot activate it.

Now today, Wifi is not working anymore, it says "no hardware installed" and the Wifi symbol shows an "X", I cannot activate it.


I really don't know what to do. Do you have any suggestion?


Thank you very much!


Best,

Steffen

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13
