Default Pantech Burst P9070 No Wifi

My friend just recently got a Pantech Burst P9070 and the Wifi doesn't work.
When you switch it on there is not wifi signal indicator and if you try to search for a signal it does find anything.
We tried "Smart Wifi Pro" which did find his wifi connection but still we were unable to get connected and the wifi icon did not appear.
We also rooted and switched the rom but with the same results.
Can anyone help with this issue?
