Ipod touch 5th wifi greyed out and turned off. Will not turn on.

I combed through FAQs and communities and see that I am one of the lucky people with 2 iPod touch 5th Gens with greyed out Wifi that will absolutely not turn on.  I have tried all the suggestions out there, resetting heating, cooling, etc.  I have updated to ios 8. Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem?  Of course these are no longer covered with Apple Care.  You would think Apple would have a replacement program for this problem since there are plenty of people having this issue.

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...

    Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...
    It sometimes has the apple on the screen, or says it needs to be charged, or is all white, black, or yellow. I have tried charging it, leaving it alone for a while and turning it off and back on. Nothing has worked. What should I try to do??? Help please!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Other uses have had same problem.

  • Dv7 6c95dx wifi turns off will not turn back on

    Having problems with my laptop. While online the wifi will turn itself off and will not turn back on. You can push the button all you like and nothing. Sometimes if I restart the laptop it will come back on--other times I have to do a complete shutdown--going so far as removing the battery after shutdown.

    Try to reset your connection and set up a new one. Check this page as it might give any help.

  • IPhone 5 submerged in water, but did not turn off/will not turn off. Best course of action?

    My iPhone 5 was just in the sink under running water and mostly submerged for a few seconds. It stayed on with all buttons working, clear screen and clear camera lens. I have tried to turn it off, but every time I try it reboots. I removed the SIM - it was completely dry, but since I can't see the inside I'm assuming there's definitely moisture in there.
    I currently have it in an airtight bag with silica gel, and I'm planning to leave it for a day or two, but it's still on. Should I keep trying to turn it off, or is it better for me to just leave it? I don't have the necessary equipment to remove the battery, unfortunately.

    Last attempt to turn phone off actually did turn the phone off. Not going to touch it for a day or two, and hoping for the best.

  • HT1695 My wi-fi option is greyed out and I am unable to turn it on and connect to wifi. How can I fix this?

    A few days ago my iphone decided to stop connecting to wi-fi. I tried to connect to different wi-fi connections but my phone does not pick up any. Now my "turn wi-fi on" option is greyed out and I am unable to turn it on. I have tried reseting the network connections as well as reseting the iphone back to original settings. My network provider couldnt help. I dont know what else to do??

    during operation iphone must be turned off. time of heating is near five minutes. wifi module is located upper the battery, on the upper right corner of device.

  • The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

    The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

  • Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option

    Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option in I-tunes. I've tried using both a Mac Book and PC with newer and older versions of I-tunes.

    It sounds like you are try to delete the songs by connecting the iPod to other than the computer from which the songs were synced. You can only delete songs synced to an an older iPod (pre iOS 5) by connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and unsync them.
    If you want to change syncing computers see:

  • Iphone 5C wifi greyed out and screen going crazy

    Hi I bought my iPhone back in October in Us from Tmobile, since December the wifi greyed out and hasn't worked once (been living on data) now recently the screen goes crazy, it types by its self unlocks the phone (dont have a password) sometimes calls people etc... now the thing is I recently moved to Dubai and I cant go to a apple store as we do not have one here, so could I ship my phone to States and have apple repair it or give me a replacement if I pay for their shipping costs back to Dubai ? Thanks for any help I can get

    If not jailbroken, restore the iOS. Most likely there is a hardware problem
    The warranty is valid only in the USA.  Apple will not accept shipment from or ship to any address outside the USA for this phone.
