After drop, wifi says "No hardware installed", card damaged?

Hello,


I have a late 2012 Mac Mini that recently suffered a drop (thanks dog!). The mac was on and didn't seem to even hitch as it hit the floor. But I suddenly had no wireless connection.


I figured the antenna may have come loose so I checked and it indeed seemed a little loose so I reconnected it. However, it didn't make a difference. Probably unrelated, but I can still use the Ethernet port to connect to my router.


I then noticed that also my Bluetooth capabilities are also off, which makes me think that the network card is dead. Is there any way to confirm that?

And if it is indeed dead, where/how can I get and install a replacement?

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
