  2. Hi,
    Excellent article and useful.
    I have a question.
    I replaced the display, and after reassembling the phone, there was a problem with my home Wi-Fi.
    The signal detects it’s weaker than before the operation.
    I need to be in proximity to the router to get a better signal.
    This wasn’t happening before.
    Could it be something that I’ve touched by mistake?

    Thanks in advance.
