I am considering making my own business fixing iPhones. I have already fixed an original iPhone (Blooming hard lol).

However, I have a question. Most of the faulty iPhone 4's I see on eBay seem to have a 'no service' issue. If I were to buy one to try and fix this, what part would I need? A new antenna? Logic board?

Thanks for any help!
 
I know it might sound foolish, but I saw somewhere that putting a peice of duct tape on the corners of your iPhone 4 might make it work :p.

I'm not talking about stupid antenna gate....i'm talking about iPhone 4's that have actual signal issues, you know, where the signal doesn't work AT ALL

So, the question is your iPhone 4 or your service provider. Try another phone. If that other phone have signal than consider switching phone. If the other phone also have no signal than switch carrier or move.

I don't actually have the phone... read the first post, i'm considering buying a faulty signal one to try and fix it and want to know what I would do to fix it
