Iphone 4 - wifi antenna missing?
Hello all,
I've had problems with Wifi and GPS reception since I got my Iphone 4 around 18 months ago. I have lived with it, but since aquiring airplay devices this has become more of a nuisance.
The proof of purchase got lost somewhere along the way, so I haven't been able to claim a warranty repair on the unit.
Today, I finally got a bit proactive and went to Ifixit, loaned some tools and opened up the casing to see if there were bad connections to the antenna, or perhaps a screw missing/loose as discussions indicated could be the case.
Instead I got a surprise - the wifi antenna, EM shield and the fixing screws were missing! No wonder I'm having problems..
I see that one can buy the antennas from the 'net but since I also need the screw(s) I don't know if that will work.
Do you have any pointers, or perhaps, has anyone heard of a similar case?
All the best, Björn
iPhone 4, iOS 6
