SeanK_ Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'm trying to find a good company that will fix an iPad 2. My wifi adapter seems to be broken. I somehow made it fly and hit the ground hard (screen not broken at least) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JossMan Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'm trying to find a good company that will fix an iPad 2. My wifi adapter seems to be broken. I somehow made it fly and hit the ground hard (screen not broken at least) Thanks! There is actually a company here in my town that works on iPads, I have provided the link below. I don't exactly what kind of work they do I don't own anything Apple but it wouldn't hurt to give them a call. Hope this helps! http://flextechsolutions.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samer21 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Sounds like the wifi cable was unplugged from that drop. I would look around locally first to save you shipping time. Edited April 17, 2014 by samer21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afazel Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Could try it yourself with about $40 in tools from iFixIt. If the card is just unplugged that's all you'll need. If it's broken or the cable is damaged it'll be a bit more, but still cheaper than having someone else work on it. It's not too hard, either. I found this out when I dropped a rock on my nearly new iPad 4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that doesn't mean break it but you have to heat the sides to loosen the glue. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the part for it, and have seen videos and such, but the only thing that's making me want someone else to do it, is putting it back together.

anthony.spina97 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Last I recall the Wi-Fi chip in the iPad 2 is sodered to the board. No possible way for it to be disconnected unless the chip has been destroyed. -Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all for the suggestions, I ended up selling it and got a decent price for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
