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.

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 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

IPhone 4S greyed out Wifi / Will not Connect

4s Wifi is greyed out and I'm unable to turn on. Here is a list of what I have tried to fix the problem.
Soft reset
Hard reset
Total reset to factory settings/ Backup
Checked for router firmware upgrade
Any ideas? This all started when I updated to 6.0.1
All other Apple devices in my home are working fine including a iPad 3, iPhone 5, Apple TV. This one phone is the only problem.
Please help......
Thanks

I'm sure they'll take care of it for ya.
They'll just make sure it doesn't show ovbious signs of damage and that you tried the steps in that article before they replace it.
Make sure you have a current backup, see this if you aren't sure how to backup -> iOS: How to back up

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

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 -_-"

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:

Unless the unknown passcode is NOT in the backup you can't restore from backup.

Iphone 4s greyed out

My iphone 4s greyed out last week, before the greyed out I experience difficulties in connecting to wifi. It all started when i update my ios to ios7.
I can still turn on my bluetooth, text, and call.
Is this a software issue or a hardware issue?
Is there any chances that they can rule-out this issue via another ios update?
**I went to iFix and they said that most iphone 4s experienced greyed out

I have this issue too ( the apple fix did not work for me ) - it started over 1 month ago but completely by accident, my phone battery drained completely and stayed drained for 12 hours. Once I got back to a charger, I charged my phone and to my surprise, the wifi was working and available. The WIFI stayed available for almost 1 month, and then became unavailable and greyed out again. I proceeded to let the battery drain and plug it back in after 12 hours... the WIFI became available again.
In my opinion, if it was a hardware issue, the wifi should stay greyed out and un-available after a bettery drain. The phone I have is an iPhone 4s, only 1 year 3 months old and I did not start having issues with it until an iOS update - I believe it was to iOS 7.

I had greyed out wifi, looked on the net how to fix it and it said to use a hairdryer which worked it greyed out again 5 mins after, so i did it again this happened 3 times then the 4th time the screen went white any ideas whats happned an how to fix it?

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.

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.

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.
