iPhone: No wi-fi network

First of all sorry for the screenshot, which is in Italian … I hope you’ll understand where the Wi-Fi control panel it’s located anyway

It’s been a frantic end of the week and only in the last couple of days I’ve become aware that my iPhone 3G isn’t Wi-Fi capable anymore …. iPhone which has been bought used a twenty days ago and has been working smootly since then.

Problem is that it can’t see available wireless networks around it AND the entire Wi-Fi menu isn’t accessible anymore, as you can see in the screenshot … Even if I follow the Settings / General / Network menu path the Wi-Fi menu is greyed out

As a premise I have to say that the test I did were taken in 3 previously used placed, with different and working networks.

Until now this is what I’ve tried without success:

1. entered in Fly mode and tried activating the Wi-Fi;
2. disabled the support to the 3G cell-network, in case the device would prefer it for a more fast connection than the one provided via the available wireless network, giving it a higher priority
3. tried to connect without the SIM of the actual phone line;
4. tried everything above with a different SIM from one of the official cell network provider of the iPhone, previously used in it;
5. reset all the networking options via the Setting / General Restore menu;
6. restored the iPhone via iTunes, then tried connecting the Wi-Fi befor and after backing up all the previous content.

Obviously I do have the lastest official firmware installed and never ever tried a jailbreak or unlock or anything similar.

I’m out of ideas, can you suggest me something more to try ?
