Welcome to LinuxQestions.org. I've never heard of this brand, although with a bit of googling I could find a web page listing various models. Do you still have Windows installed? It might be possible to waken the wifi hardware from there, and check that the Windows driver does not turn it off at shutdown. If not, check the UEFI BIOS for settings related to wifi - it might be disabled there.

Try

Code:

sudo rfkill unblock all

But I thought hard block involves some sort of hardware switch, have you checked?
