    Already tried putting my mom's 4s on the fridge (the heck?). Also tried resetting network settings, updated to latest update but no luck. Wifi either grayed-out or unable to see available wifi networks. Anyone experiencing this?

    I've only tried updating to the latest version but not completely restored everything. I'll try this later.

    You can bring it to Burn and Jhoy for repair. Afaik, if you do not have it fixed immediately it will be permanently grayed out.
