I have the issue with greyed out wifi and bluetooth on a 2nd gen 8gig ipod touch I bought recently. I tried software restores per Apple’s directions, still no go. I am thinking I need to replace the flex cable that appears to have the wifi chips on it. Looking at ebay, I see what looks like 2 different styles for the 2nd gen ipod touch: http://www.ebay.com/itm/260928528114?ssP… http://www.ebay.com/itm/130585126417?ssP… Are both compatible, and if not what is the difference?
1 appears to have the plastic frame for your wifi which will save you time… your second link? Check with oldturkey03 but I think this is the easier one for your purpose.
My colleague pollytintop is absolutely right. Both cables are the same. The first link “http://www.ebay.com/itm/260928528114?ssP… is just the cable without the plastic “frame “etc. the second one is the complete Wifi flex and plastic frame. I’d go for that one. Already assembled, decent price and a lot less chance of making mistakes. The reason why cable one looks funny to you; it still needs to be folded over ;-). Hope this clears it up.Good luck.
