It's very easy and very cheap...get a connector like this over e bay just search "WIFI connector 3GS".

You have to use some flux and a very fine tip soldering tip...You can replace in 5 minutes

Actually ignore the last message I posted about the white LCD screen.

A simple clean helped.

Hello,

LCD backlight problem:
the coil has been replaced but still, backlight only works if the device is connected to the charger

edit: and it's not charging forgot to mention that (but it has the connected to power supply symbol, just not the thunderbolt)

i have been trying to replace the wifi holder on one 3gs when i did it made no difference, then i notice that there is a resistor missing would this still cause me to get no wifi i think by looking at two 3gs on the pictures you see what i mean. Could I use a resistor out of and old mobile phone or something else as I don't have any spare 3GS or 3G boards.

That have nothing with wifi.

That one is a varistor which is used with the connector 5 (power, audio connector)

Check the resistor under the wifi connector if it short, if open make jumper with thin wire

If there is a short I make a jumper on the red line for wifi. What about the white you say its for connector 5 will i just leave it or make a jumper as well.http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/atta...1&d=1326451569

Check this resistor for wifi signal.

Oops sry that is a resistor not varistor it's for power onkey_N line, just jumper it with thin wire

Bro in some 3GS that resistor is not soldered from factory in some it is present.

Wondering on the pic with the wifi holder do i just solder wire from point 1 to point 2 to point 3 is that all and the resistors that i have circled in black remove them what will these changes do then. http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/atta...1&d=1326484835

Remove resistor from point 2 to point 3 and solder thin wire. No need to jumper from point 1 to point 2.

With regards to remove black circled varistors. For now do not remove anything as long the phone power on, is able to toggle between ringer and silent and detects headphones.

In summary:
Remove resistor from point 2 to point 3 and create a jumper using a thin wire

Will soldering from point 2 to 3 do as well instead of wire
