iPhone 3GS is restarting every 2 minutes, doesnt matter in any process
As mentioned in the head my iPhone 3GS is restarting every 2 or 3 minutes. I bought it as used from evilbay and was receiving it with guessed problems from an unlock operation. But after performing a complete unlock which was successful the problems stayed. First there is no wlan on the phone although there actually is one checked by several other devices (yes, the MAC-filter is open). Confusingly in the settings wlan can not be swithed on in the settings. Also the SIM-tray does not recognize the card so there is no GSM.
But whats really kicking me is that the 3GS is doing a restart every 2 or 3 minutes which cannot be influenced by any means.
The seller of the device was guessing that there might be some battery problems and gave a new battery with the phone. Thanxalot to ifixit ;) I replaced the old battery and hoped that all problems are gone... but they didnt.
So what do you guys think? Do I have to get used to severe hardware problems? Maybe the internal board is gone...? Can someone help me please...?
Apprecitiating your help! Love the site for years, it helped me with so much problem perfectly!
Kind regards
