No wifi/iPhone 4s/iOS 7.0.4

Hello dear Apple Users.

A short story before explaining what's the problem. So, my screen was broken and I bought one online, got it and installed it all by myself. After that everything seemed to work fine, nevertheless after 2 hours or so I lost my wifi connection and from since then everytime I try to connect to my wifi it says 'Unable to connect...'..

I've tried 'forget this network', 'restoring all network settings', 'restore and erase all data'.

I think it's a software problem and no hardware problem, because my iPhone locates my home wifi and in the settings it shows the strenght bar (3 bars), so connection must be good. When I click on it and add the wifi password I keep getting the unable to connect. Any help please?

P.S. The computer, 2 laptops, PadFone 2, and 3 other iPhone 4s' we're using seem to work fine, no wifi problem.

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

Anything is possible at this point. The iPhone does not have user serviceable parts, and your opening the phone and personally replacing the LCD has voided your warranty/post-warranty support from Apple. They will not do anything with the phone any longer. It also forfeits your support from the forum. Sorry for your loss.

The thing is that the iPhone is over 2 years old, so no warranty + I don't use Apple Care. The only possible way to fix the screen was doing it by myself or giving it someone else.

Or purchasing an out of warranty replacement from Apple which is a completely refurbished unit with a short term warranty. There is a chance that you have damaged something inside the phone doing the replacement. No one would know that here. So you will have to continue this exploration on your own.

An iPhone could be six years old, and Apple would still offer the out-of-warranty replacement options... as long as you don't perform unauthorized service or have unauthorized modifications. You can take in a broken original iPhone, first generation, and Apple will still replace it for $149 USD.
