I just truned my laptop in the I found I got no wifi I went to device manager there I cant find my wifi.
It shows it must have been unpluged from troubleshoot problems.
Is there any way to fix this.

What has changed recently? Have you installed any Windows updates, driver updates, other software updates? have you installed any new hardware (either internally or externally)? It's rare for stuff to just stop working, so if you can think back to the most recent changes you made, or even to whatever you were doing with it last, that is the most likely cause.

In Device Manager you could try clicking the Show Hidden Devices checkbox and see whether your wifi card appears. If it does right-click on it and click Enable.

Which laptop do you have.

If that is taken literally then the obvious would be that one of the connectors has come loose from the wifi board. As Ubuysa says, it would be a rare event but might happen if the laptop is carried around a lot. Worth checking as a first step though.

On mine the clevo p170em (Vortex III) service manual shows 2 small connectors to the wifi board but can't see what type they are.
