You damaged the internal antenna. Since you like to rip things apart, you'll need to locate the other end of the coax cable(s) connected to the minipci adapter. Maybe you can fix it.

When you ripped the cord out you probably damaged the power source..when you do this to a laptop it damages the motherboard. Oh and just because the diagnostic says it is working doesn't mean it is, diagnostics don't monitor the motherboard.
