OK so i have an idiot friend who dropped my Ipod touch, it hit the ground and the wifi antenna broke. He claims he cant find the antenna, now the touch has a wicked dent and no antenna. Also my wifi option is greyed out thats because the wifi antenna is gone right? Is there anyplace where i can get the little black wifi antenna and a new back plate? I am not opposed to doing it myself either. Maybe someone with a way broke touch want to donate some parts? Hope you guys can help me thanx
Got a tip for us?

Have your "idiot friend" take the touch and his credit card to the Apple Store and come back with a new touch for you.
It could probably be sent to Apple for repair but it would cost nearly as much as a new one.
In the future, keep your expensive toys under your own control.
thanx for the lecture

Okay SON, just Google "iPod touch repair" and you'll find dozens of places that offer repair services. I haven't seen any that repair the antenna. All repairs I see listed are for the screen, case and battery.
IF you can find the parts, here's what you're up against http://www.appleinsider.com/article...r_down_with_high_quality_internal_photos.html
Your only recourse may be to have Apple repair it.
