iPhone 4 No Service after screen replacement.

    Hey,

    Replaced a cracked screen on my iPhone 4 last night, went smooth enough but when I turned the phone on after I just get ''Searching'' and ''No Service''. It does however pick up signal whenever I'm in town just where I live on the outskirts of town I cant seem to get reception.:confused:

    Where is the antenna located? Could I have ''loosened'' it or something during the screen replacement?

    Cheers.

    Your missing the metal surround on the top screw in the middle.
    I'll try find a picture

    Okay, I got the replacement part as suggested above but still no difference. Anyone got any other ideas? I just find it odd that it works sometimes when I'm in a well populated area..

    Cheers.

    Hey Cathal,

    Yes, I've checked the two points already and both seem fine/connected.

    EDIT: Got it sorted. Was the connector under the battery cover. Kept popping out when I'd screw the protector back on.

    Thanks for the help. :)
