IOS CONTROVERSY WIFI GREYED OUT

IOS CONTROVERSY WIFI GREYED OUT. IS IT SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE? THE FREEZER AND HAIRDRYER ARE ONLY TEMPORARY FIXES.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), Build 13C64, 2.26 GHx Intel Core 2

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.
