Hey guys,
My girl dropped her iphone 4 at the supermarket the other day. It worked great before she dropped it and she even just put a brand new case on it. I guess the phone must have dropped at a weird angle because it won't power on unless it is plugged into the wall.
I tried doing a full restore on it and it didn't help. One thing I did notice though is that the wifi does not work. The wifi on/off toggle is grayed out and wouldn't respond.
Called apple and they had no advice for me. It is a refurb unit.
My only thoughts is that the battery must have came loose on impact and probably loosened the wifi chip/whatever it is as well?
I have fixed computer hardware a bunch of times in the past so I might try to give this a shot since it seems pretty simple to get to the battery.
This ever happen to anyone else before?
Cliffs:
-iphone dropped with case on
-won't stay turned on unless plugged in
-wifi doesn't work either
-not a software issue
