M5200 No connectivity without external antenna

[kevdyas]

Today my M5200 has decided it cannot connect to a network without using an external antenna. I disconnected my external antenna earlier and since then the device won’t connect to the network without it - the moment I reconnect it then the device works fine. I’ve tried factory reset.
