My Galaxy Chromebook has no Wifi and Bluetooth after the latest OS settings update.

The day I noticed the new settings window had been introduced was when my bluetooth became grayed out/removed and my wifi permanently shut off. The toggle is there for decoration now.

I would surmise that unless this new update caused a power surge that fried the wifi/Bluetooth connector chip, that this update came with no drivers for it. 

I tried powerwash. I recovered and reloaded the OS and nothing. The new settings window is permanent and there's wifi and Bluetooth. Turning the toggle on does nothing.

I have a galaxy Chromebook as well, and I have the same issue. Searching online tells me other have this issue, and the only real solution offered seems to be them replacing the motherboard at a cost equivalent to a new Chromebook. Most expensive paperweight I've ever purchased.
