    hi, my computer doesn’t connect with wifi. There is no network adapter for wifi, and no wifi icon for trouble shooting. seems that the whole wifi connecting system is gone! I am connected to internet via cable, though.
    I would sincerely appreciate your help.

    ^^ Try installing wireless drivers for your system model from your device manufacturer’s website, see if that helps!
