iphone 3gs ( no wifi ) issue

Did you try a two-button reset? Close all apps, then press and hold both buttons until the phone shuts off. If it doesn't turn itself back on in a few seconds after shutting off, just press the top button and let it boot up. This fixes a lot of weird things the iPhone tends to do.

I would agree, this is a better first step then if that doesn't work try my suggestion. Good luck.

The bottom on the side and the button on the front are the two buttons he's referring to. Push both together and hold for 2-3 seconds until in shuts down.

Hmmm maybe it is time to do a backup...
Then a wipe... And see what happens....
If I works.... Software at risk....
If it doesn't time for a replacement....
Oh crap... No wifi no backup without iTunes.

yep.. situation is limited here.. i'm holding out on doing the vulcan nerve pinch on it till I can figure out what to do if it doesn't come back to life. schedule is way to busy this week to drop off the grid trying to revive wifi..

Doing a wipe or perhaps more correctly stating, doing a complete reset is not a big deal. I have done this countless times on different iPhone and iPads without any issues.its actually good to do. If you're not afraid of doing so and have a question or two, ask away.

i'll try it on sunday as I don't have to work...

so more detail on the 2 button please?
