Hello, I have got an iPhone 4S. On my iPhone I can't see the wi-fi signals. I ordered a new antenna from eBay for £4. I'm pretty sure I replaced the antenna correctly. But after replacement I still can't see any wifi signals. I seen some tutorial about grey out wifi button, but in my case is something different. The button is not grey out and on setting I can't see any wifi signals. Can anyone please help me how to fix it.
iPhone 4S, iOS 9.2.1
I would try doing a network settings reset and regular settings reset if you have not already. Also Im sure this website has a troubleshooting tutorial you can pull up to troubleshoot wifi. i would try those steps next!
Have you tried resetting your router? Also, when you initially try to connect, be sure you are close to the router. It is easier for the signal to be found if you don't have a lot of walls and other interference between the thing that is generating the signal and the thing that is trying to pick it up. I know that I had some issues way back around iOS 7 with my iPhone 4 finding a signal. I sat right next to the router, reset it, reset the phone and viola! It hasn't lost the signal since 🙂
If you want to reset the device (nothing will be lost), hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds - really). Once the reset is complete, the Slide to Unlock screen will display. At that point, go back to your Settings, and see if it will pick up the Wifi signal from the reset router.
Best of luck,

It appears to be the WiFi chip. Do you have any experience with surface mount component replacements. If you don't I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself. It requires very specific equipment. I'd suggest finding someone who has experience with mother board repairs.
It is a wifi chip problem, because I removed main board then heated the wifi chip with heat-gun to make the metal melting and pressed the chip with medium pressure and then I put the main board in fridge and then reassembled my iPhone it started to works, but after one hour the problem started again, which mean I have to replace the wifi chip.
I tried with networks setting rest but it did not worked, I am going to do restore and hard rest through iTunes. I hope it will gonna work
Restore did not worked 😢😠😕 I still has got wifi problem
Restore did not worked. I still has got wifi problem
Basically I tried everything (Replacing WiFi antenna, hard rest) except changing WiFi Chip. What would you recommend, should I try to replace WiFi Chip or not?
I did not suggest a restore. I suggested that you reset your router, and that you reset your device. Have you tried doing that yet?
