My iPad 2 3g wifi is greyed out. Bluetooth connection and celluar work great. wifi address N/A...

Wow... I've researched so much about this topic.
The story is, the ipad was on top on a car and it fell off while driving down the road.  The driver realized what happened, but it was to late.  Several 18 wheelers were behind him and it was TOAST!   Luckily he turned it on and it worked!   So, he asks me to fix it. 
I replace the shattered screen and everything was great!  Except the wifi was greyed out... I did almost everything from hard reset, to updates, to reformat it etc.  
No luck...   then I bought 2 new wifi replacements and no luck... except when I installed the first wifi replacement, it worked!  I connected it to my wireless at home and left for a little bit then came back and it wasn't working!  I've tried everything... reconnected it to the chip onboard...
So, I decided to take it apart again and install the 2nd wifi antenna i bought, still no luck.
Not sure... maybe the wireless chip it connects to is bad.
Just wondering why the bluetooth is working and the wireless isn't...
Thanks for any help!!!

  • Wifi icon greyed out, but connected

    Just got a new iMac and everything was running smoothly, until I noticed the wifi icon in the menu bar is greyed out. When I click on it, my connection shows with all darkened bars in the list, but the icon at the top is still greyed out. Can anyone help with this?

    Have you by chance moved any system files?
    Click the AirPort icon in the status menu bar to make sure it's turned on.
    Could be your router. Check out this article >  http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/wifi-dropping-in-os-x-lion-fixes/

  • Brand new to Mac and IPad. I have comcast email on my Mac and it works great. My girlfriend has yahoo mail but considering doing iCloud mail when we set up the iPad. Need convincing to use iCloud mail. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks

    I'm new to Mac and IPad. I have Comcast mail on Mac and it works great my girlfriend has Yahoo email but is considering ICloud email when she sets up the iPad. Without technical jargon... In iCloud email a wise change? Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That's really a question for you to answer yourself, changing an email address may not be the best of ideas if it's well known to others. On the other hand iCloud mail is an IMAP account (it syncs between devices) which may be an advantage if your current address is just a POP account.
    I use my iCloud address for secondary mail in conjunction with my main address.

    LISTEN EVERYONE WHO HAS PROBLEMS WITH WIFI WHEN UPDATING iOS6
    If your wifi is greyed out:
    you need to go to the apple store. You're wifi chip has expired! Wifi chip experation dates were checked upon the new software, that is why some  iPhones still work and others don't. They will replace it for you free of charge (don't quote me on this). It was free for me.
    I myself have an iPhone4S and they told me exactly this.

    i have an iphone 4s. Recently the wifi settings greyed out when i was using ios 7.0.4. When i connected it to itunes, it showed that update your iphone. At an apple forum they said that updating will solve this problem. I just updated it to 8.0.2 but still wifi is greyed out. In settings>general>about, there is an option of wifi address which shows N/A. What is the problem? Is is the hardware? Kindly guide me.

    My iPhone Wifi is greyed out.
    In Uruguay in Cellular Center (+598 2 903 3333) that is where I buyed it told me it has no solution, it´s a problem of hardware accepted by Apple, that Apple change the phone in this cases, but that they can´t change it by another new one because their warrantee is 3 months and I bought in december, 2012. It cost me US$ 1,250 and I want a solution because I saw in the Apple web that iPhone warrantee is 1 year and I am still covered by it.
    I have the invoice dated December 24, 2012.
    Do you have any solution to my problem?
    It is hard to believe that a so expensive iPhone has a life of 6 months.
    Do I need to take my iPhone to anywhere they can solve its problem?
    Thank you so much.

  • How do I turn off pop-up blocker on new iPad if it is "greyed out" in safari settings?

    How do I turn off pop-up blocker on new iPad if it is "greyed out" in safari settings?

    '''Diego Victor''', this is for Firefox on Android. The Tools->Options is for Firefox on Windows only.
    I think the only way still that you can turn of popup blocker on Android version is in '''about:config'''
    Try this.
    Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and filter for '''dom.disable_open_during_load''' and set it to '''false'''.
    After you are done you should enable the popup blocker again.

  • Upgraded to iOS7 - WIFI still greyed out.. Any fixes?

    I previously had the problem on the previous iOS 6.1.4 or whatever the most up to date was.
    I've now upgraded to iOS7, reset network settings, reinstalled the operating system, full phone resets etc.
    Unfortunately I STILL have the problem that my WIFI is greyed out!
    I'm running an iPhone 4S by the way.
    Can't believe for one minute, that after all the problems on the previous iOS that a fix hasn't been put in place - so if anyone knows of one, i'd really appreciate it.
    That android devil is becoming more angelic!
    I've also had my phone just over a year, so I assume that the warranty is now expired?? I know - i've had the problems for some time and I really should have got my arse into gear and took it in for repair before now!
    Regards,
    Andrew.

    I guess I don't have to wait
    I got it fixed
    someone delete this post please

  • My wifi is greyed out on my iPhone 4S

    My wifi is greyed out on my iPhone 4S and tried almost everything like putting it in the freezer and the hair drying method and draining the battery and restore my phone and I even contacted the Apple Store and they said I had to pay $19.99 to get it fixed but they dont guarantee that it will work. So I dont want to pay for something that they arent even sure about. I have been looking for a solution to this for weeks now and I dont want to keep using my cellular data and get charged for going over my limit! HELPPPPP!

    It seems you contacted AppleCare who would have charged you a fee of $19.99 for troubleshooting the issue as you must have been out of your 90 days complimentary phone support. The $69.99 would have been for AppleCare Protection plan which would extend your hardware coverage for another year making it 2 from the date of purchase.
    To have your phone evluated at an Apple Retail Store is completely. Also if you are still within your 1 year limited warranty and you need a replacement that would be free of charge. The only time you need to pay for a replacement would be if there was physical or liquid damage to the phone or depending on your country/region if you are out of your 1 year limited warranty.

  • WiFi Was Greyed out

    My iPhone's WiFi was working great on iOS 6.0.1 till 13th Feb'13 no problems whatsoever, until yesterday it failed over night without me knowing. The WiFi option was still available but unable to connect to my home network and when I rebooted the phone, the WiFI was greyed out. It has not been working since.
    Somehow i manageed to install 6.1.1 and i thought it may fix the problem but same problem...the WiFI is still greyed out. I do not understand why it has failed. I bought this 4S in July and have never dropped it .The WiFi was working great till yesterday and suddently this happened. I won't understand what kind of application/phone Apps have released. Its seem they are just want to stay in the market instead giving a good service to their customer.
    I have reseted the network settings, restored the phone and even tried using the phone as new and this has still not fixed the problem.
    Never expect such kind of phone from a company like Apple.

    It takes two to Tango. But it was technically a Software Error in the boot sequence, but the Hardware is actively reading the boot information and has to respond accordingly. Sounds like it was a one time glitch. Keep an eye on it. You iPhone still has full Warranty.

  • Macbook pro wifi symbol greyed out and will not recognize networks

    My Macbook Pro has had an issue since this past fall of having its wifi symbol greyed out with an "X". It also does not recognize wifi networks as in simply no networks show up. Talked to Apple last week and they said to upgrade to Yosemite, but I am still having this issue. Help?

    Have you used DVDs that have different region codes?  It may be that your DVD drive is locked for a region code different from what Netflix is programmed for.

    after I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1 I can't access my WiFi (The greyed out Wi-Fi button)

    Most likely the iphone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier
    updating the iOS will relock a hacked iPhone to that Carrier
