after update wifi disabled

hi all and good afternoon
this morning i updated a laptop, shortly after that i lost wifi network.
i have rebooted, shutdown and restarted , tried disabling networking and reinabling networking nothing seems to work.
i'm using arcolinux with openbox. 

 rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: yes

uname -a
Linux tig-hp-dv7 6.2.10-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 07 Apr 2023 02:10:43 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

nmcli
wlp9s0: unavailable
        "Qualcomm Atheros AR9285"
        wifi (ath9k), 0C:60:76:10:76:BB, sw disabled, hw, mtu 1500

the thing is if i plug in an usb-wifi it blocks it too.

nmcli
wlp0s18f2u1: unavailable
        "AboCom RT2573"
        wifi (rt73usb), 00:12:0E:9F:BD:3C, sw disabled, hw, mtu 1500

        "Qualcomm Atheros AR9285"
        wifi (ath9k), 0C:60:76:10:76:BB, sw disabled, hw, mtu 1500

nmcli dev status

lo       loopback  connected (externally)  lo

wlp9s0   wifi      unavailable             --

Re: after update wifi disabled

i'm using arcolinux with openbox.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/misc.php?action=rules

Hard blocked: yes

That's a physical switch on the notebook. Maybe because of a hibernating windows (see the 3rd link below)

the thing is if i plug in an usb-wifi it blocks it too.

You didn't post the rfkill status, did you look at it?

any guidance would be perpetrated

If it's not windows and no HW switch, check the system journal for errors.

Re: after update wifi disabled

Thank you seth
the computer is a hp dv4 .
there must be a short cut key i hit, but i can't find it .
so i pulled the battery and the cmos battery and that cleared it.
sorry to have broken the rules, i thought being it is a arch server might have more of a insight.
i will ask from now on linuxquestions.org
