I recently installed a new NVMe SSD and had to remove my WiFi card from the second PCIe slot to make space. Now, my motherboard isn't detecting the WiFi card at all. I've checked the BIOS, and it recognizes the slot, but it doesn't see anything plugged in. The WiFi card was working perfectly before I removed it, so I'm wondering what could be going wrong? Any suggestions?

If you’ve reset the card a few times without it clicking, maybe it’s worth taking a closer look. Sometimes, if there’s dirt or interference from other components, it can cause issues. Make sure the card is clean, and try seating it again carefully to see if that helps.
First off, try removing the WiFi card and then reseat it firmly back into the PCIe slot. Make sure you hear or feel the click when the retention tab secures it. Also, double-check that the metal bracket isn’t getting caught on the case and that the screws aren't misaligned or pulling it out slightly from the slot.
