The problem with the Wi-fi module on the laptop. What is the reason?

Hello! There was a problem - all network detections were gone. In device manager, the network adapter is displayed with the message "The device is working properly." After opening the laptop, it was found that the AUX antenna connector was thrown off the wi-fi module. The connector was installed in place, but the problem was not solved. Tried uninstalling the device from the PC and reinstalling the drivers - did not help. Tried to roll back the system - did not help.
Windows diagnostics shows that "There may be a problem with the wireless network adapter driver."
What other options might there be? How to diagnose further? I would be grateful for help.

Some data:
Wi-fi adapter Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn
Windows 10 pro x64
HP Pavilion G6 laptop

Is WiFi enabled on the keyboard (light on)?

With a high probability, the transistors at the wifi input burned out, due to the fact that all the power of the transmitter went not to the antenna, but directly to the receiver. So probably change the Wifi module.
At the same time, pay attention - connect the module to a strictly de-energized board, with the battery disconnected. And do not connect either the battery or the power before connecting the antenna.
You can check the module, as already advised, in another laptop - but! Again, strictly ensure that the module (both yours and from that laptop) does not turn on without an antenna. Otherwise, you will burn the input of that module as well.
