Ipad 4 Sound not working
My sound and Wifi isn't working at all since I replaced the screen on my Ipad 4. Which cable/cables would I have to replace to fix this problem?
Is this a good question?

The wifi flex is a commonly damaged flex cable during iPad 2/3/4 repair as it isn't very protected under the glass during removal. This is the flat cable to the right of the home button on the frame that is held down by 3 screws and has a long coaxial antenna running from it to the board. Loudspeaker damage during repair is not very common, but I would check the connector next to where you connecter your home button flex cable on the board. The cable may have come loose. If not, disconnect and reconnect to be safe then test.
This is similar to what the wifi antenna looks like but for an iPad 2 (Don't order this one, it wont work)
iPad 2 Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Antenna
This is the loudspeaker should the cable or speaker have become damaged while repairing your screen

Hello merentia79,
I am new to this, as in answering questions for people on iFixit, but I would like to try and help. To start off, have you tried restarting the iPad? Not just powering it off, but holding the power button and home button until it turned off then showed an apple logo? Try that if you haven't already. If you have already done that, in some rare situations in which you have bluetooth on, make sure the iPad is not connected to a speaker you are unaware of. Lastly, if neither of those work, you can purchase an iPad speaker and try to repair it yourself. If you have the tools and can find a tutorial, it should be a fairly easy fix. I'll go ahead and put a video link if you're curious... Just and FYI, I do not take responsibility if you decide to repair it yourself and break your iPad in the attempt.
Hope this helps!
