recently I have been repairing a few iphone 4's and have came across this problem twice now.
after replacing a screen the phone loses all service
the blue part that is often damaged seems to be fine but still get no service. could it be a problem with the gold metal but at the top of the phone? how should this sit?
Is this a good question?

Set the date and time manually. If you take out the battery on the iPhone (iOS 6.xx) the date will be 1970.. :p
When you have set the date and time, remove the sim card and put it back in.. This should work :)
(you kan also connect the phone to the WiFi to automatically set date and time. Do the same with the sim card, when the time is right :) )

I curious as to the positioning of this gold metal piece also as I am having similar issues. I have a signal but only in strog areas and 3g and wifi are bouncing on and off effecting the signal. Im curious as i sat this piece in as i believe is correct but cant get a pic of it anywhere. They say there could be some grease on the attenna cable so might try cleaning this with alchol

I also had "no service" after repairing the screen on an IPhone 4S with IOS 6.01. As stated the date and time will be 1970... After hours of headache I decided to try setting the time manually as mentioned by Alex, power off/on the phone and enter the Sim pin code again. I had low expectations, but it actually solved the problem. Afterwards, you can switch back to automatic date and time again.

I do not understand why people assume a problem is software when it has just had a hardware repair done on it. I would be willing to bet the antenna is unplugged or needs reseating.

It's an IOS6 issue. Make a full restore and you'll get the signal back after initializing it!
Hope its help
