Iphone 3G 16Gb loose network

Postby Camilo_ML » Wed Sep 08, 2010 9:11 am

Hello.

My wife's iPhone 3G has a wierd problem, i would like someone could help me and guide in the right direction.

When the phone reaches certain temperature it looses GSM/3G coverage, the service provicer is still on screen but no bars and impossible to make or receive a call.

If i power it off and put in the fridge for 5 minutes when i take it out and power on it works flawlessly for some time, full coverage bars and all fine, but if i throw into the pocket, or i connect to charger, or i play with it some time and the screen and backlight is on it gets warm again and the coverage disappear, even sometimes reaches the "No Service" state. Again putting in fridge solves the problem.

Anyone knows which could be the problem, a friend have opened it and told me it's quite clean so is no dust problem.

Any idea is wellcomed.

Thanks in advance. Please, please, my wife cries everyday for her iPhone. ;)

since it is sensitive to temperature I'd assume it's a failure of a solder joint or component. more likely to be a flawed component. i'm afraid only a board replacement or board reflow will resolve this.
