Question New in july system just lost connectivity

[ck1984]

i have a dualboot system with new linux mint on an older Kingston SSD plus 6 month old install of elementry os on new 500 Gb NVME drive 860 or maybe 960

just surfing not moving or bumping the tower , i lost connectivity about 30 min ago.
apparently i dont have working wired ethernet or i cant verify it works cuz this laptop doesnt have ethernet

- i checked both mint and elementry dont even see a wireless network.
its like the wireless built in to the MSI MAG B650 wifi motherboard just died

how do i fix or test for this?
-this laptop works on very same wireless that now doesnt work on newer desktop in same room

and now magically after 2 reboots nothing
-so then i disconnect everything, tried inspecting area behind connections on back of mobo but theres giant heatsink blocking everything, even after remmoving video card
-hit power and reset buttons with no powercord
rehooked everything and not it automatically sees wireless again?
