Hi I had an issue where my pc was fine but no monitor signal or keyboard and mouse so I took the front panel connectors out and put them back in and then I had the same problem and then I did the same with my ram and it was fixed but then all network connections had no bars and I still don’t know how to fix it

specs: amd Ryzen 5 3400g
8gb ram 5.93 usable
8 cores

Ensure that you have only one network adapter enabled. In your case, you will want the wireless network adapter enabled and the wired adapter disabled.

What wireless adapter is installed?

From the command prompt run and post the results of "ipconfig /all" (without quotes).

How many wired and wireless devices are on your network? Reading back, I realized that you posted "all network connections had no bars".

Make and model router or modem/router if combined?
Update your post to include full hardware specs and OS.

Open the case again and doublecheck that all cables, cards, RAM, jumpers etc. are fully and firmly in place. Your earlier efforts may have bumped something loose.

Windows 10? Try running the built-in troubleshooters. The troubleshooters may find and fix something.

Check Reliability History: there may be some error codes that could prove helpful.

If the Wi-Fi network adapter seems to be happy - it shows up under device manager with no '!' or '?' marks, and you can disable/enable it, and so forth, and just doesn't 'see' any networks - I would suspect that you accidentally disconnected an antenna cable.
it comes up with an x symbol on network and connection settings in control panel and my motherboard is an asus prime a320m-k pls tell me where to locate the antenna cable
 
Sorry for the delay, I got busy for a little while there - amazing that my employer actually expects me to work from time to time 🙂.

The red 'X' means that the adapter is disabled. Try right-mouse-buttoning on it in device manager and see if there is an 'enable' option, or select 'properties' and see if you can find an 'enable' button, probably under driver.

it was enabled so maybe theres an enable disabled while enabled thing
