I reviewed your post and I understand that the wireless card is not detected on the computer.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
You have performed all the required troubleshooting and it looks like the wireless card is gone bad and needs replacement.
I recommend you contact support and check the available service options for your computer.
Here is how you can get in touch with support.
1)Click on this link – www.hp.com/contacthp/
2)Select the product type.
3)Enter the serial number of your device or select let HP detect your product option.
4)Select the country from the drop-down.
5)You should see the HP phone support number or Chat option listed.
Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
