Chosen Solution
Hello, I’m about to buy an Iphone X after back glass repair by some random service, the issue is that the phone cant connect to wifi and loses it’s signal all the time, sounds like antenna is broken, so the repair will be pretty easy. Is there any risk that there’s an issue with the motherboard or something worse and it will be impossible to repair? It’s so cheap that I may be able to get my money back just from the parts. Overall condition is good, everything else works, even the wireless charging.
Try just cleaning the mount points on the case, the logic board and the bus bars. as well as the bus bars & screws. Use a fresh pink pencil eraser and clean the area with 85% isopropyl alcohol with an cotton swab. If that fails then you need a new case or logic board. Update (03/26/2019) The outer case housing has the antennas imbedded within it These isolated metal sections have connections within the inner part of the phone:
The term ‘Bus Bar’ is a mechanical connection between a common service and the discreet service. As an example, within the power breaker panel of your home you have bus bars that the discreet breakers connect to gain access to main power feed and the other end of the breaker is wired to the circuit it supports. Here we have the case which has screws that connect either to the logic board directly or a metal strip (bus bar). The issue I was pointing to is corrosion (oxides) can build up on the surfaces interfering with the electrical connectivity to the antennas. The mounts, the connecting surfaces and the screws all need to be clean.
