Dear All,
I'm a proud owner of an Apple IPhone 3G for 2 weeks, when all of a sudden my wifi is not working anymore. When I switch off and on my Iphone again, to my suprise when I go to settings->General at the wifi settings it stated that No Wifi.
I went online and search every resource I can find. A lot of Apple Iphone owners is also facing the same problem. They all offered solutions like, delete all network settings, delete all data on the phone, restore and even re jailbreaking but to no avail. Some even came up with the crazy idea of putting the phone into the freezer!! Cause said something about a telco comp staff from abroad told one guy that the 3.0 firmware fried the wifi chip or something.
I'm posting this hoping the guys here in malaysia has had any luck in solving this problem and can offer me a solution.
I would like to apologize to the admin if someone else has already posted this topic but this is my first time here and I am hoping that this topic may help other Iphone users from malaysia too.
So guys and gals if you have ever encountered this problem before and has solved it, whether firmware or hardware.
Please let me know. Thanks.
Regards,
Robin

I tried all the steps that I could find in the internet, still cannot. Replace wifi chip? where to replace? My phone I bought from someone here in Lowyat forum.
I also dunno where the set came from. From singapore ka or from where. Any way to check this on my iphone ah?
My problem quite similar like every1 here, absolutely no WiFi. Mine is Maxis set, I bought from Lowyat.net forumer and still under warranty untill next year...
I want to send the iPhone to Maxis, but the original owner is the only one entitle to collect repaired iPhone at Maxis center [I can send the iPhone for repair but cant collect the iPhone after it being repaired] even though she already sell to me.
NOW, she in HK and seem dont want to help me to claim the warranty from maxis.... she doesnt reply my call and email. If I know this will happen I will not buy the secondhand iPhone even it Maxis set.
The only solution is to send iPhone to the 3rd party to change the WiFi chip and it will cost me RM400 and takes 10 days. I bought the iPhone RM2350 and have to repair RM400, = Total RM2750. DAMN.
or have to wait firmware 3.1OS and still not sure it will fix the fried WiFi chip. Is it true the chip is FRIED? or just the ppl assumption...
