Default wifi woes

I have been through the forum picking up bits of information for days now. However, to settle my curiosity on the subject I thought I should ask this. I am getting tired of endless hard resets.

I just bought an htc mogul (Cheaper than Touchpro-which I will get at the end of the year when I sign a contract)

Problem: My mogul will not detect any wi-fi connections (anywhere. School, home, starbucks, qdoba= Switch on or off and not in flight mode). The icon appears in the status bar, but only in the skinny form. No bubbles open with information about connectsion. I also get no green light from the left side.

I am using this phone to end out my contract and I wanted it for wi-fi because I haven't decided to get a data plan yet. (I am a graduate student so everywhere I go I have wifi.)

My mogul is running the latest stock rom's.

Here are some things I have tried.
1.Hard and soft resets-my poor stylus is tired
2. Playing with the network settings (i.e. changing internet work settings, access point to all)
3.Praying and Hail Mary's
4.Using an unrelated ics fix program because I am desperate(caused my phone to freeze)
5.Flipping flight mode on and off


I have NOT used a new rom on the phone. I have heard some people (few) have had success doing this. I am computer literate but also new to the phone so I haven't made the leap. The iolite tf2d cab is pretty enough for me right now.

Also the bluetooth Does work- and theoretically the evdo would too, but I have sprint block it so that I don't accidentlally incur charges.

Question: Is there a comprehensive listing of things to try in the forum that I have missed? Do you have suggestions? Does using a new rom have potential to fix this? If so what should I use?

I am computer literate and a quick study, but no expert in the world of mobile computing (I study rhetoric and philosophy) so if I have said something stupid please forgive (or insult and use the smiley to maintain my confidence).

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks you,
James
