Chosen Solution
In replaced an iPhone 6 screen, but now have a problem I never seen before. The iPhone is stuck at 1-1-1970. Even after unplugging the battery, nothing I do is solving the problem. What I tried: Setting the date time to automatic Connect to wifi Connect with 4G Connect to pc Change date manually doesn’t do anything: the date and time doesn’t change at all I call and send text messages (strange?). Everything with internet involved, obviously doesn’t work. Also, Bluetooth doesn’t seem to work. Spinning wheel keeps on spinning. Wifi gets connected, so works. Any thoughts? Thank you!
The problem is (“most likely”) with your Wifi IC. You will need to contact a Micro-Soldering tech and have it either reballed or replaced. I have seen this a few times where the Wifi is greyed out and Bluetooth not connecting… but you say your wifi is connecting. Can you browse the internet with Data turned off? If you have already tried restoring/resetting then software is not the issue and it’s the hardware. The majority of the time, it is actual Wifi IC and a rare percentage of the time… a component surrounding the WiFi IC. If you can’t find a shop near you, you could always reach out to one of the pros here on Ifixit to have a look at it and diagnose it for you: https://www.ifixit.com/Business
