Hi I have an iphone 6 that cant find any wifi networks. Following the guides on ifixit, i replaced both the top antenna and the bottom wifi antenna under the logic board, but still it does not find any networks. I have reset the phone first of course and tried airplane mode, disabling/re-enabling wifi…etc. It has a network address in the about section. LTE works fine too; is there anything else left I can do?
This may take some time but I would disassemble what you have repaired and check the antenna ports to make sure you did not accidentally damage the port on the logic board. I have done it and it still works but not every one is lucky . iFixit suggests cleaning the grounding locations as finger oils can prevent the grounding and thus you would have this issue. If you are doing this for a water damage phone make sure there are no signs of corrosion on the Logic board or the case where.
send a photo of your motherboard and dissconnect the wifi antena and let us know if anything is damaged on motherboard
Thanks for the replies, but remember I only took the phone apart because wifi and Bluetooth didn’t function from the getgo, so I did not damage the logic board or anything, replacing the antennas simply didn’t fix the original problem. There I no damage to the phone water or physical whatsoever so something else must be going on, I was hoping there was some other fix or thing to try. In any event I returned the phone back to the owner, shes just going to sell it on ebay as not working.
