My iphone 3g has a grayed out "no wifi" option where the wifi button should be under settings. I've done every reset possible and concluded that it is a hardware issue. How can i go about opening the device and replacing the antenna or fixing it. thank you
Is this a good question?

replacing the antenna won't work. this problem is most likely a hardware or a firmware issue. i have seen those issues on iphones with corrupted baseband data after failed unlock attempts. others have real hardware issues.
did the wifi ever worked?
does the gps work?

im pretty sure the gps works and the wifi used to work. i have never attempted to unlock or jailbrake my iphone
actually the gps doesnt seem to work...
i would first try to restore the iphone in dfu mode (click here for a how to) - maybe the baseband is faulty. don't forget to backup your data!
Hello Weiher, I have the same problem, but my IPhone is 3G 8Gb jail breaked with firmware 4.1.2. I already tried to restore firmware 4.1.2, 3.1.2 and Reset all settings (Network) and nothing happen. I really think that my problem is in hardware. What do you think about, How can I proceed to fix it? I'll try to cleanner with 90% alcohol, do you think is that a better solution?
Thanks in advanced,
Rafael Boschini
