Well it would appear a good clean was needed. Managed to connect back to the wifi! Its was the common its doesn't want to connect to one network issue but still no signal. after further checks discovered the phone has lost the IMEI number! Obtained authorisation to wipe it but think its likely to be the IC chip from what I've read however going to get the phone back for practice! Well its a brick so might as well try and he's happy to buy a new one! Moral of the story for this guy do not give your iPhone to your kids!
Jack from checking yesterday abou t your solder post it might be the solder jump that has the issue. They are a very fiddly job to get right, it sounds like it isn't happy with the solder.
Yes really. Friend gave phone to kid, kid put in jumper then straight in the wash and forgot! Phone has been on a radiator and silica as a desperate measure and then it lands to me! remainder of phone is dry and been inside with central heating near radiator to warm it up! Cheers Eman05. Do you have a link that I use to look at the best options?
