Assessing if Wireless card is dead after changing RAM+HDD?

Hi,
On A1286 I did a "regular" RAM+SSD + data doubler upgrade but upon reboot got a "WiFi: No Hardware installed" instead of the usual WiFi icon.
My #1 suspicion is on the WiFi+Camera connector located behind the optical drive. It's a bit [https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/HVZasX6deANqWGgf.huge|loose] on this particular MBP.
But I haven't been able to get it working again and I can't verify this. The camera is working fine and the connector looks good even though very easy to pull on.
#2 the Wireless adapter could simply have died during the upgrade process but I find it very unlikely.
Does anyone has experience with testing a wireless card? How can I test if it's really dead before buying a new one?
In my many years of opening up computers I've never witnessed a dead WiFi card. Have I been lucky or do you find it likely?
