Hi, i would like to remove/destroy the wifi ic chip on lg g3 phone. I have tried before to manually remove it with a flat screw driver but when i put everything back together the phone is quite hot and battery drains soo fast. So i must have spoiled something else along with it.

Now i have another spare board,I would like some direction on how to destroy the chip and have the phone still work well (without wifi of course).

Thanks
 
You do know that you can completely turn off the WiFi in a phone, without having to resort to destroying the hardware.

If I remember correctly, there are also apps out there that can be added to a phone, to create a password, so that certain settings cannot be accessed unless you have the password. I am mentioning this part because, if your reason for doing so is to stop someone from ever using WiFi on a device, that would be a less drastic option, and also wouldn't ruin the phone.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

I know I can turn it off and have apps that lock it but all that can be easily undone by resetting the phone.

I am just looking for a way to permanently remove wifi.

I have seen someone on this website that successfully removed it from a samsung tablet.
The thing is with mine, when i remove it, the phone turns on fine but it a little warm and the battery drains so fast.

thanks


 
So you think that a finely designed piece of hardware can be hacked at with a screwdriver and still work correctly outside of where it has been hacked at, current and voltages are carefully balanced, something might be receiving too much current/voltage now.
