Help Samsung Galaxy S2 Wifi won't turn on

[calgarian65]

Hi,

I just received a hand-me down S2 phone. I am trying to turn on the wifi on and it won't show any networks available even though I know there a lots in the area. It says Wifi Turning on but then just shuts down.

As I just received the phone, I do not have sim card and data so hoping to get the wifi working. I have tried going back to factory settings and still no luck.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.
