I faced a similar problem when converting my wife's laptop from Windows 10 to Endeavour OS. The issue was related to Windows hibernation. It seems that that process does some strange stuff to hardware, especially to wifi adapters.
To solve it I had to boot back to Windows, disable fast boot, reboot again, shutdown, and then I could install Linux properly.
Maybe you face a different issue, but I hope this helps.
This, the only way to fix it is to unplug it, take out the battery and leave it for hours.
Or, if you still have windows installed, you have to literally go into the power profiles and customize the wireless power down settings and then power it down. Upon booting to Linux it should all work.
I unplugged battery and power for 48 hours, but the problem unfortunately persists...
I guess I'll try to see if I can reinstall W10. Problem is I only have a W8 key (in had upgraded from W8 a while ago) so I'm not sure I'll be able to.
