Antenna replacement and no blue inductor found

You just have to "replace" the blue inductor with conductive silver. There is no need to take pictures or videos of it!

I was surfing the web for a answer and I went small cellphone repair shops, and they said they can't repair it. Finally I came to this page and I went to Radioshack to see what they got. Bought two things

1. Magnifier

2. Conductive Pen ($24.99)

I drop a little drop of the compound between the 2 connections and Voilà, the Iphone got better signal than my stock Iphone.

thank you Javier you gave me the idea, in spanish.

Just create a little jumper to join to connections with soldering iron. No need to replace the blue inductor. It works every time for me.

thank you and sorry for bad English.

The answer to your questions, how to fix the blue inductor coil causing a signal problem, the solution is easy we have repaired many with a 100% success rate. If you look at the signal antenna which you plug the cable into, simply run a wire from the left side bridge it to the right side point on the blue coil and follow it all the way to the furthest (right) component on the top left side. This will act as a 'bypass route' and your signal will start to work again.

All it takes is a bit of micro-soldering knowledge and some 0.1mm wire and basing soldering equipment. This will fix your problem guaranteed, providing it was the missing blue coil that caused your signal issue in the first place.
