No WIFI Networks Found??

Hey guys, I have got 2 Dell Latitude E5550's both with the same problem, it keeps saying there are no wifi networks found even though several other devices connect fine, also after unistalling the driver and removing the device from device manager, it won't let me reinstall the driver as it said there is already a newer version installed, so it ends up blocking the installation.

 

Has anyone had the same problem, if so how did you fix it?

 

Thank You in advance

 

Edit: The Ethernet works fine, if it helps

Are you sure the are no issues with the antennas or the wires that connect to the Wi-Fi card?

I would say try with a live Linux distro (Ubuntu 17.04 for example) and see what's what

if you still can't see anything I'd say those WiFi cards are toast

Check if they are disabled in the bios? or a switch on/off?
