A USB installer for some linux distro may still work, although it is also
possible that your wifi hardware died.
Can you obtain a usb ethernet adapter to help get connected to sort out
installs for wifi?
You should also consider swapping the wifi card or a USB wifi dongle. There are also wifi to ethernet boxes that will allow any system with ethernet to use wifi. Some are sold as "wifi externders" but include an ethernet port:
