You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 If that doesn't work, you might want to make an appointment at the Apple store or Authorized Apple Service Center to have your device checked.

No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

Greyed out wifi, bluetooth works perfect

Hi! i just got myself a iphone 4S a few days ago
yesterday my wifi couln't find anything, so i just did the reset network settings
when my iphone started up again, my wifi button greyed out and i couln't do a thing with it
or see something only the greyed out wifi button,
i tried everything apple support told me
all types of reset's with and without back-up
reset via itunes, you name it ...
my iphone isn't jailbroken..
i looked on the internet and found alot forums with people complaining about this issue..
and apple still doesn't have a good solution too it.. they should be a shamed too sell such a expensive smartphone, with alot of promisses
but when there is a issue we are on our own... or they only have a solution that works with 50% of the people who has trouble with wifi
i bought my iphone on the internet, so now i have to send it back to italie so they can send me back a new one (7 days guarantee)
even this i really don't like, there is a apple store 30km from my place, but i can't replace my iphone there.
i thought apple was apple.. and they worked with the serial numbers.. but no..
i was so happy about all my products of apple (macbook pro, ipod nano,..) always good service but now...
does somebody knows a solution because if i have to wait untill apple solved the problem...
my hair will be as grey like this stupid greyed out wifi button -_-"
sorry for my english
Thanks!

Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out? Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device. Then restore it as a new device. If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue. They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19. Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

Greyed out wifi.

Hi all. Greyed out WiFi on iPhone 4s ios6.
Had this problem for a week. Called apple, no help. Tried restore, all the tips on here and no fix, finally
Saw a video on you tube of a guy who put his in the freezer.
Switched it off, wrapped it in kitchen roll and put it in the freezer
For 10-15 mins. It worked. I have had to do it 3 times since then. But at least I
Don't need to pay apple £140 for a fix. Apple guy said this wasn't a common fault.
But I can see he doesn't read the forums.

Since you do not know the passcode you have to place the iPod in recovery modes. For recovery mode see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Unless the unknown passcode is NOT in the backup you can't restore from backup.

IOS 6.1.3 problems, entering passwords and greyed out wifi

Since upgrading to iOS 6.1.3, I've had many issues! Firstly, I got the greyed out wifi screen... Now I've spoken to a few people before, they said that it is a hardware related issue, which I find really hard to believe unless the os messed up something on my motherboard... Wifi was working perfectly find before I updated the iOS!
Second issue I've been having is entering passwords... On a couple of websites, an apps, whilst entering passwords, safari would crash, this also happened when I was entering a password on google chrome...
Really bad update just to fix the Passcode by pass which it would take someone with a masters degree to figure out!!! Any help would be appreciated!

The update stressed the chipset past the breaking point. It was already failing before the update. Now that it's been updated, it's detected the failure.

Is my iPhone 4 greyed out wifi and non working bluetooth software or hardware... seems that the forums are full of this issue with no consistent or official answer. is it all coincidence that so many are having the problem? Please help...

Please correct your porfile: iPhone 4 do not have IOS 6.1.4.
The usual troubleshooting steps are, also remember to test it after every step:
1. Restart
2. Reset
3. Restore from backup
4. Restore as new.
If no joy, make an Appointment with the Apple genius and have them evaluate

IPhone 4S Greyed out wifi

So did anybody find a way to fix iPhone 4S greyed out wifi?
<Edited by Host>

Dear all,
I´m from Argentina, I have an Iphone 4s 32GB purchased on June 2012.
When I updated to Ios 7.00 no wifi issues. Last week I updated to 7.0.2 instantly starts wifi issues, over heating and stopped working. I was tried every I read in this post and others and nothing change. I Tried hard reset to factory settings and nothing. I am sure that the problem is with Ios 7.0.2, because the problem start at this moment.
Anybody knows if Apple will release a fix for this bug?
Thanks for all your comments and We can try to help togheter.

TS1559 despite doing all this im stil having the same issue greyed out wifi...!!!

im fed up with this greyed out wifi..!
please help!!!!!!!!

Use this article: support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Follow all of the troubleshooting steps. You can even try restoring the device as new: support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
If within warranty, it should be free.
If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax.

IPhone 4 Greyed Out Wifi

I have an iPhone 4 that I dropped partway in water. Due to the wetness, I turned it off ASAP and then threw it in a bag of rice. I waited a day and then powered it on again. It seemed to be partly working; I could sync to my PC and also could faintly make out the screen. For some reason, I decided to go ahead and update from iOS 5.0 to 5.0.1 while the phone was down. This went fine, although my screen was dark so I couldn't verify very much. I then took my phone apart and placed it in tupperware with rice. I waited another day and everything appears to be working, except for the wifi (greyed out) / bluetooth (can enter menu but it never finds it). I had read that some people have had issues with wifi after updating to 5.0.1, but I am also thinking it could be a hardware issue due to possible water damage or reassembly. On a side note, I have not jailbroken.
I was wondering if anyone here could provide me with some troubleshooting instructions. I have reset the network settings, hard restarted, and restored my iPhone to no avail. My wifi address is N/A, and my bluetooth has an address, but I can't turn it on. I have an IMEI and my modem firmware is 04.11.08.
Thanks,
Brett

Another bump hoping to catch someone's eye~
@diesel: My phone was dry enough to work. As a matter of fact, everything except the wifi/bluetooth is functional. I can make calls, check email over 3G, and do most of the vital functions of a phone (just not on wifi). I figured it would be fine because the flash LED was constantly on before putting it into the rice due to the moisture shorting out pins. After it dried, I recharged it and the LED was not on. As an electrical engineer, I understand the risks of moisture and how easily chips can blow. And as far as a replacement goes, I will be getting a 4S in March when my contract expires. I would like to use the phone for some home automation via wifi, so fixing it would be convenient.
If anyone has encountered a similar problem, any advice (such as issues that could arise from semi-careless reassembly) would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brett

TS1559 still no solution for greyed out wifi and bluetooth - what to do? been messing around with it for weeks and now discover I'm just outside of warranty period? WHAT?

I am in such a predicament - phone not been quite right since the 6.1 update and I was tolerating the inconvenience of switching off and on etc etc for the past couple of months and now the wifi and bluetooth are totally greyed out all the time - did every restore possible including back to factory settings - still no luck - please don't tell me that trying all the solutions over the past 2 months that temporarily worked for a few days at a time will now mean I have timed myself out of the 1 year warranty? arghhhhh (I can't believe that such an issue will create the response 'oh well, your problem - best just buy another one' ???)
I can't just drop everything and drive to the apple store and wait for hours every time there's a 'glitch' otherwise I may as well move nextdoor to the mall. They tell you to try and solve it yourself first - which I did - and now it's not responding to anything I try, will I be told - 'too late, out of warranty'???
I see theres an update for the iphone 5 that fixes wifi bugs - what about us 4s owners? even my 3 year old 3gs is still working on wifi (haven't dared to update it!) so don't start telling me to expect that the iphone will only last 13 months - NOT AT $600 a piece
This is madness and driving me crazy
Please has anyone had any luck fixing this problem???

well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!
