Check if Airplane Mode is turned off.

Update Carrier Settings:

Check for any available carrier settings update under Settings > General > About.

Restore Network Settings:

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will erase saved Wi-Fi passwords and network configurations.

Software Update:

Check for SIM Issues:

Test with a different SIM card from a compatible carrier to rule out SIM card issues.

Inspect the baseband IC and Wi-Fi IC for any signs of damage or shorts.

Check Connections:

Reseat all connectors related to the baseband and Wi-Fi modules. Ensure there are no loose connections.

Test Baseband and Wi-Fi Chips:

Use a multimeter to check the power supply to the baseband and Wi-Fi chips. Ensure they are receiving the correct voltage.

Reflow or Replace Baseband IC:

If the baseband IC appears damaged, reflow it using a hot air rework station or consider replacing it if necessary.

Check for Liquid Damage:

If the device has been exposed to liquid, clean the internal components using isopropyl alcohol. Look for corrosion on the circuit board.

Replace Antenna:

If the Wi-Fi antenna or cellular antenna is faulty, replace it.
