STOP SHOUTING!
No intelligent human being would seriously think that putting an electronic device in a freezer or using a hair dryer on it is a permanent fix for anything.
Take the device to Apple to address the hardware issue with your device.
I did but they say there's no fix, is a hardware issue, for a 3.5 months Ipad.
If it is only 3.5 months old, it is under warranty and Apple will replace it.
No, its a replacement, so the "genius" said that is only covered by 90 days. But that he will be more than happy to help me out to buy a new Ipad Air, I bet he will...
Talk to the store manager, be polite and ask what options they have. No guarantees but they may be able to offer another option. Either way, the hardware has failed and needs to be replaced.
Quick update, much against logic as I'm a software engineer, and with nothing to lose, I've tried the freezer fix, put Ipad on a ziploc for 20 min (actually left for 25 as I almost forgot that it was there), took it out left 5-10 min resting out of the bag, and voilà the wifi is back (now for 10 minutes). Now of course this defies logic as to a real defective wifi would never work, some people say that it works for few days to months, so my question to those level 8 and "genius" is why Apple doesn't explain what the heck actually happens when hairdryer and freezer fix is applied to their devices, from physics I know expansion and contractions due to temperature and atoms, but really Apple how is this possible?
Either way I only need this Ipad to work till next Ipad release to keep my 6 yo daughter happy.
