If you can open the case, many security devices use "odd" screws, you might find the antenna connector popped loose. Most of these connectors are press fit and not 'real' microwave cables.
Amazon has tool kits with drivers for most security screws. I bought one for ~$10 and it's been extremely helpful in opening stuff the manufacturer didn't want outsiders to open. I've also used a drill for really odd screws when I really wanted to get inside a case.
Harbor Freight has a set of bits like that too. They've pretty much covered my needs when I encounter some of that weird stuff. I try not to do business with amazon to the extent possible. :-)
