Hello, first time user here.

Unfortunately my early 2013 macbook pro had a little fall off my bed and now it doesn't find the Wifi Hardware. I've sourced the issue, one of the four wifi antennas (the longer one that wraps around) has a damaged terminal and won't fit onto the wifi card. I've removed the 3 wifi antennas from under the screen but this 4th antenna looks like it runs from underneath the processor so I've hit a wall and I'm quite stumped on which option to take next. Thought I would look to the internet before taking it somewhere and being charged and arm and a leg. Any advice is appreciated. (I considered soldering it on but because the terminals are gold and its a risky move I haven't).

Thanks for reading, Rex.
