MacBook Air says no wifi hardware installed and wifi will not turn on

I’ve had my MacBook Air since 2016 and have had 0 problems with it, as of this morning, it says “No Wifi Hardware Installed.” I have tried pretty much every troubleshooting method from PRAM,turning the service from active to inactive, restarting/shutting down, etc.


Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how did you fix it?

MacBook Air 11″, macOS 10.12

One day my 2016 MBP was working perfectly. Next day the logic board had to be replaced. Yes, things fail suddenly as well as gradually.

You may be facing a repair bill but at this point we don't really know.
