TS1559 Wifi will NOT turn on for the past several days except for a brief period of approximately 2 days.

My wifi stays greyed out and dim and will not turn on.  For a little bit it did turn on but would NOT recognize the wifi in our home, although all other devices did without an issue.  I've tried all the solutions I've found on here and nothing is working to solve my problem.  (i.e., restarted my phone, my modem, reset my network settings, backed up my phone and restored it and still nothing!)  Very frustrated!!!  Apple support says it must be a hardware issue and I will have to take it in for a repair which since I'm just past my one year mark, will cost $199.00.
How can it be a hardware issue if for a brief period the wifi worked for about two days before it again went dim and won't work???  Any help or suggestions would be extremely appreciated as I'm not a very techy person and I'm baffled!
Thanks to all!
P.S.  My phone is an iphone 4 and is updated to the current version.

Your iPhone doesn't require as much power to charge as your iPad needs so there is a possibility that the charge could have a problem even though you were able to charge the phone. If you can try a different power adapter and still have no luck, then the only thing left - IMO - is to contact Apple support and see what they advise.
BTW  ....   Copied from your first post ...
i then decided to do a reset or restore by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button down.
I'm not trying to be a nitpicker - but what you described is a hard reset and your post gave no indication that you tried a software restore - which I referenced in my post. That's why I suggested the restore.
Many times restoring the iPad to factory settings can help "revive" the device. If you have tried restoring according to the two support articles that I directed you to and still have no success, you are probably out of luck getting any further help on this site. That's all that you can try at this point at least AFAIK.
