Welcome to HP Community
I have gone through your Post and would like to help
Please check in the Device Manager and check if the WiFi Card is getting detected. If it is not then reopen the Notebook and ensure the WiFi-Card is properly connected since it might have gotten loose while changing the Fan
If the WiFi Card is getting detected in Device Manager, then use the Ethernet Cable to go online and download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...
HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook
-
Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.
-
Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.
-
Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.
-
Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.
-
Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.
Also ensure Windows is up to date.
Select the Start button, and then go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available
Also follow the instructions in this Link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03383935

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊
