So a couple of weeks after the hardware unlock my iPhone has lost wifi reception. Most of the time the iPhone will detect no network, and when it can connect to a network the signal is weak and it will quickly disconnect when I try to do anything - check email, YouTube, whatever. I have done a quick restore, a factory restore, taken it apart to look for problems. No dice.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the problem? It sure seems like a disconnected antenna, but it doesn't look like it on the inside. Second, what would be the going price for a beat up iPhone with no wifi?

id say the antennae is not properly connected

I'll give ya $150

$150 eh? I'll keep that in mind.

Does the phone still work ok? Just no wireless?

Yes, the phone is fine. I have gone from having an iPod plus revolutionary internet communication device to having an iPod plus mobile phone, with a few weeks of sweet iPod plus revolutionary internet communication device plus mobile phone action in between.

Does that make sense?

and no warranty because you opened it

or didn't it have a receipt in the first place?

iPod + Phone works for me...I have a MB that follows me for my wireless internet needs....

Sounds good if you are actually considering my offer

Not to mention that one electrical fault often begets another.

hmm might as well make an offer of 175

Now you have an iWeight.

At least the papers on your desk won't blow away!

$180

Any other thoughts on what to do with this? In particular, where to sell it?

I suspect you'll have this lot bidding up before too long.

If i was in melb I'd take a look for you, could be a damaged antenna or cable or maybe even the connector.

Did you remember to put the metal cover back on the radio card when you were done modding it? if not that could be the cause of all your issues right there.
