iPhone 4 wifi signal issues greyed out

I replaced the lcd and digitizer on an iphone 4 after successfully installing the front panel i tried to connect the phone to wifi and there is not wifi networks available. The wifi setting is disabled (grayed out) unable to make a selection for the wifi.

Any ideas or suggestions as to what may have caused this and what is the best remdy for this problem.

I have tried to reset the network settings but that did not help, my next attempt will be to update the firmware hoping that may resolve the issue, however i strongly feel that this may be a hardware issue.

where is the wifi antenna located in the iphone 4?

If anyone has has this similar problem please share your experience with me.

according to the teardown for iphone4 "Apple has integrated the UMTS, GSM, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth antennas into the stainless steel inner frame." the teardown also notes that there "are pressure contacts on the inner face of the rear panel which look like they are for an antenna"

it doesn't actually identify the wifi component

go back and clean the frame and inner rear panel-check for defects, scratches etc. it may not work, but it's worth a try.

there are all sorts of references to cleaning metal to metal contacts as oily residue may interfere with wireless function. I'd open the phone and clean clean clean

If Settings shows Wifi as grayed out ("No WiFi"), then the WiFi chip on the main board is bad and you will have to replace the whole main board.

if you have no wifi the gold antenna at the top is most likely damaged

try checking the gold antenna at the top of the board, it needs to be connected to the middle housing for the wifi to work, also the screws are important because they act and pathways for the circuit board

Good News Everyone! After I had spilled water on my device about a year before and I got the same problem: my wifi was greyed and bluetooth was not working either on my iPhone 4. I tried all possible solutions:

1. Airplane on, turn the iphone off, turn the iphone on, turn airplane off, and then wifi was supposed to start working. BUT not with my device(

2. Freezed it for 30 min in a plastic bag. BUT it was a time waste.

3. Then settings-general-reset network settings/all settings. BUT it didn't work.

4. Eventually I diassembled my iPhone 4, removed all 5 screws from wi-fi antenna (NB: pay special attention to 4.8 mm screw, as it is supposed to be the primary reason for wifi bad performance), cleaned all these screws and all metal-to-metal contact points on the connector cover with a de-greaser. Then reassembled it

AND WI-FI APPEARED!!!

Thanks to ifixit)

I had this issue with my iPhone 4.

I attempted all the suggestions, reset, replacing dock flex and standard Antenna, Freezing, heating, turning it on airplane mode and do not disturb and none worked for me.

I FIXED THIS ISSUE by cleaning the gold contact at the top left of the motherboard and also cleaning the section of the Chassis which it contacts onto. I used Contact Cleaner however I believe any moisture will work provided it is allowed to dry in time.

Good luck to all those with this issue.

Can you produce a guide or be a little more specific? Do you need to remove the wifi antenna to get to these parts that need to be cleaned?

look at this photo, the gold connector to antenna is the section which contacts to the metal chassis.
