        @Reignman sounds like a hardware issue. Do you get the same behaviour off a standard Raspbian install?

          @markyh444 Yes also of a fresh install. So that's what I'm afraid for that's it's hardware related. Although I don't understand why this was in the past also but back then I got it working again temporary ...

            Can you run dmesg, taken after a cold boot, and post it on pastebin.com ?

              @mitu Yes but how do I save and export this info without network on my pi?

                @Reignman Save it on the boot partition.

                dmesg | sudo tee  /boot/dmesg.txt
                

                Then take the sdcard out of the Pi and read the file from your PC.

                    I'm running into the same issue. Here's a dmesg from fresh boot.

                      @undrwater Please don't hijack a topic - start a new topic. You're running a Raspberry Pi2 - which doesn't have built in wifi btw. So you need a dongle.

                      To help us help you - please make sure you read the sticky topics before posting - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

                        Wow. Talk about assumptions. I would have sworn I was using the Pi 3. Thanks for the heads up!

                              Doesn't seem to be anything Wi-Fi related (Bluetooth included). Maybe they're blocked ? Can you run

                              sudo rfkill list all
                              

                              and post the output ? Does it detect any Wifi interfaces ?
                              Did you disable the Wifi/Bt via config.txt on your Pi ?

                                        It's most likely a hardware failure.
                                        Just to be sure there's nothing disabled, post your config.txt.

                                          @mitu Please see these links. My Pi is not easy accessible, Its built in in a cabinet.

                                            The config.txt is ok - Wi-Fi is not disabled, so I'm afraid it might be a hardware problem.
