New Mac Mini 2011 - Bluetooth and WiFi not listed anymore

got new mac mini, tried swap out crap 5400rpm hd new ssd, , 2 wires came out of right-hand molex plug connects logic board. ugh.

pulled unit apart, , found particular lead tethers frame piece, deduced needed new part since looked hard wired.

brought apple store. genius ended telling me connected getting ir signals after-market remote, if owned one.

never buy remote, unit ios dvmt, gladly agreed pay them assemble unit , disregard damn connector - said fine of course.

brought repaired unit home, fired up, , has lion. cool.

go "network", , column list on left side real short - has ethernet , firewire. bluetooth [and related it] , wi-fi adapter missing completely.

so, guy right when said molex connector logic board ir? ok not have connected (ignore now). if so, happened wifi , bluetooth gone?

opened unit, confirmed antenna plugged in, , else assembled ok, appears ok.

spent 3 hours doing dig up, resetting pram, deleting bluetooth plist files.....i did dozen things, no bueno.

looking want throw brick @ them, how else can confirm why 2 things being missed?

 

did check prior changing hard drive machine working fine?

suggest opening again , pushing attena plate cable maybe isn't seated properly.
