After full laptop disassembly for change of thermal paste, wifi keeps disappearing, in some cases Bluetooth too. Wi-fi adaptor in device manager gives error 43 and error 10. Sometimes it comes back when resetting wifi or bios but later it fails again when under load or while gaming. This problem had never occurred before.

What possible solutions I have tried so far (failed or solved the problem for a short time before failing again):

  1. Downloading last wifi drivers from intel and dell,
  2. Bios update and reset,
  3. Some console command resets,
  4. Wifi power mode can't be changed,
  5. Dell SupportAssist app detects no problem,
  6. Restarts,
  7. Windows troubleshooting programm does nothing,
  8. Tried using older drivers that are already installed with no result,
  9. sfc scan.

Haven't tried reinstalling the card yet or power cycling.

Wi-fi card: Intel Wi-fi 6 AX201 160MHz

OS: Windows 11

Laptop: Dell G15 5530
