If there is an adapter hardware issue could that cause WiFi to not appear in Network Settings?
Card went bad or could be other issues. Always best to reseat the card and also use a Ubuntu Live USB or DVD to see if it sees the device. The 726x card run around $31 USD and are well worth it if you want the faster speeds.

I would just get the Intel AC-7260/5 Mini-PCiE card to replace that Wireless-n. While you have the compartments open, blow out with a air can for any dust and such. Yes those cards can go bad. The Bluetooth adapter is on the top part of the back panel.
Removed the card and replaced it. Did not work.
Anything else I can try? Should I bother with a Windows re installation?

Is there any point in trying Driver Easy?
I agree with bro67. It looks like the card has died. Replace it.
