Third generation of iPad with Wi-Fi, released on March 16, 2012. Model Number A1416. Repair requires heating and careful prying.

Wifi button greyed out

I replaced the screen and after awhile the wifi button cannot be activated, should I replace the motherboard?

No, you will probably just have to replace the wifi antennas, which is probably what got ripped when you opened the device.

I agree, everyone who has worked on iPads enjoyed one day or another a teared up wifi antenna ;)

Yup. Happens when you put the pick too far in on the right side.

What I'm afraid of is the wireless controller being messed up. That would be a board-level repair.

Sounds like you didnt reseat the wifi module properly, or as you were dismantling it you cracked part of the ribbon cable.Check , reseat, or replace the wifi module.

I assume you tried doing the cold reset and switching in amd out of airplane mode, this is usually a fix for airplay too when that “greys” out.Hope this helps.
