Finding a Company to Repair iPad 2

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!

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...

If it is indeed the wifi antenna was unplugged, you have to go through the screen to get to it. Now that doesn't mean break it but you have to heat the sides to loosen the glue.  Good luck.

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.

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.

Might be thinking of one of the newer one's.

 

Thanks all for the suggestions, I ended up selling it and got a decent price for it

    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
    • No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.
    • Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.  
    • Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.
