How do I fix my broken Wi-Fi?

I'm getting incredibly tired of my iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.1) not being able to connect to Wi-Fi. Without it, I'm not able to do much, and I've already done most of the suggestions I've seen in the forums such as:
- Reset Network Connections
- Reset the entire phone then restored it
- Reset the phone and set it up as new
with no results.
What happens on my phone is this:
The Wi-Fi circle is permanently blacked out (Unavailable) when I swipe up on my screen. When it isn't, however, it's off, and I click it, it "turns on", but when I swipe down and pull it back up, it's back to off (But "Available"). I then try to go to settings and the Wi-Fi'll either say "Not Connected" or "Off" and whenever I click on it, it freezes and I have to do the power + home button reset. Sometimes, I'll be able to get into the Wi-Fi tab and my access point'll appear, but it'll say it can't connect. I've read that I might just have a burnt out Wi-Fi chip or something, but all I know is I'm leaning closer and closer to the blowdryer and freezer method I keep hearing works.
Thanks for any tips!

Try one if the "far out" approaches. There is apparently a hardware problem with your iPhone. You might get lucky.
How long these "fixes" continue to work is unknown.

  • How do I fix a broken SMB protocol so my Sonos sytem works again?

    Hi,
    I'm new to this, so bear with me.
    I have been running a Sonos Play 3 since June 2013 without any problems. Two days ago I got a messsage on the Sonos Controller software saying;
    "Unable to play ‘song name’ - cannot connect to //'my mac'/Music because the server cannot be found"
    So I put in a ticket with Sonos Support and they've told me the following;
    "The bug is not with Sonos, we see this problem a lot with Macs because SMB is broken. Sonos is able to play your music on your computer because your computer has to share the folder on the network. It does this with with a protocol called SMB.
    If you don't want to upgrade I recommend you purchase a NAS(network attached storage) drive and move your music to it and share the NAS drive to Sonos."
    I don't really want to run Mavericks because I'm used to Lion.
    So my question is this - how to a fix a broken SMB? Can a borken SMB be fixed?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, call and get a case number.  At least you will not have to pay for the repair if the crack is not "accidental" damage.

  • How do I fix my broken PSE 9 Organiser program?

    I'm about ready to scream!
    Whenever I open PSE 9 Organiser, it opens to show that it is generating  thumbnails and the hourglass is not moving at all. Then if I dare to do  anything at all and I do mean anything, it stops responding and I have  to shut it down via ctrl-alt-delete or the Windows not responding pop-up  window.
    So, what have I tried to fix it?
    I have updated to SP2 after disabling user account control
    I have removed the thumbs.5.cache more than once and then tried to update the thumbnails with no success, as the program just froze on me
    I have tried to "repair" the catalog, but the program just freezes as soon as I click on File
    I have tried to "optimize" the catalog, but the program just freezes as soon as I click on File
    I have also uninstalled and re-installed the program, though without any appreciable difference in performance, (I did not actually search and remove all PSE 9 files, I just made use of the Uninstall feature in Settings)
    Now, you may understand my fustration in trying to get this program working as well as it did when I first installed it.
    So, could anyone please tell me what I should do to get this program to work as it should?

  • How do I fix my broken bookmark editing

    First off, I have been having disk error problems with Ubuntu, and I think that a file that involves the bookmarks was corrupted. I did remove and reinstall the latest firefox package with Synaptic and apt-get (they do the same thing right?) But I still have this problem: I can not add or modify my bookmarks in the toolbar. I can go to the window to organize my bookmarks but its like nothing is there on the left main view box or the right that shows the bookmarks. If I try to import or restore, it does nothing. Thanks for the help!

  • How do I fix a corrupt user profile

    Hi,
       I have a user profile that is corrupt. In CA, under People, Manage User Profiles, I can't find the broken user profile but when I try to create profile again with New Profile. It won't let me. As it says the Profile exists already. How do I
    fix this broken profile in SharePoint 2013? Thanks.
    SPYliu

    I've had to use code like the above to delete user profiles before - however - I would strongly suggest excluding the loop from the above code - otherwise you'll be deleting ALL user profiles - which doesn't seem to be what you want to do
    - e.g:
    /* Load required Assemblies for SharePoint Server and User Profile */
    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“Microsoft.Office.Server”)
    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles”)
    /* Central Adminstration URL or any Web Application*/
    $url = "http://myserver:Port"
    /* Create a new Context Object */
    $contextWeb = New-Object
    Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://servername");
    /* Get the right Service Context */
    $ServerContext = [Microsoft.Office.Server.ServerContext]::GetContext($contextWeb);
    /* create a new connection to the UserProfileManager */
    $UserProfileManager = New-Object
    Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($ServerContext);
    /* Remove Profile */ $UserProfileManager.RemoveUserProfile("CONTOSO\joesmith");

    Hi there Rlong50,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    I have restored it twice and updated it, the water sensor shows it has not been wet. Not jail-broken and exterior buttons all work.  It seems to have problems connecting and being found by a computer (Windows). How do i fix this and will Apple fix it? Thanks

    lol yea when i inserted the link i just copied and pasted thats why that happend... Lets try again... http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
    Anyways when I go to it theres a drop-down list and you select the one you want and I know the number next to it identifies the model but the thing is they don't have my model listed so my main question is, what version eg. 2.1.1. or 2.2.1 etc. etc. etc. etc. will work with my model of ipod touch which is the 2g Model A1288?
    Does anybody know? Does it work with any firmware thats for 2G ipod touches or do i have to get firmware thats model specific?

  • How do I fix "broken links" in iTunes?

    Hey Guys!
    I just got my first ipod and I'm going insane trying to set it up this morning. The main problem is that for some reason iTunes decided to add each of my songs twice, but then marked one with that "!" sign that I think idicates a broken link. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, and for the life of me I can't determine why it's doing this.
    Shouldn't it just automatically know the files don't exist and take them out of my library?
    Or, can I tell it to go fix the broken links? If so what is the command for doing that?
    I am running Windows Vista if that makes a difference. And my brand new ipod is a 16GB Nano (but I have about 70 GB of mp3 files - I'm having to pick and choose what goes on my Nano, which is fine).
    I'm sorry if this turns out to be a "duh" solution but I can't find a good answer anywhere online (I tried ITLU and that complex playlist solution from PaulMayne.com already, to no avail).
    Thank you so much

    Korean songs got cracked or broken on iTunes! How can I fix this? Can apple just offer a universal language applied to iTunes?
    English songs have right names but some Korean songs names got cracked .
    I set English as the first language on my Mac and don't want to set up language in English.
    Thanks.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
