IF YOU A TECHNICAL KINDA GUY YOU CAN GET THE SCREEN REPLACEMENT AND DO IT YOURSELF. IT DOESN'T LOOK TOO HARD. VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE I THINK.

get an otterbox or a more durable phone in the future.

should have just gotten that $99 squaretrade warranty


it covers you for up to 600 bucks, that's basically 3 fukk ups. it'll cost you around 200 to get another phone @ the apple store

If its a 4s fixing it yourself is harder then it looks
Make sure you get them damn screws in the corner
Make sure you remember where that little ass clip thing came from
Make sure you take care of those ribbons/strip things
And just cuz it power on dont mean it gonna work first try

what kind of iPhone? u don't have the original 1-year apple warranty? if you do they'll replace the phone for u as long as there's no physical damage to it.

4s had it since october...and i dropped it...screen isnt cracked or anything, a cpl everyday bumps n bruises on it nuthin major...they'll do that for little ol me :gladbron:

is there water damage? You might be able to get them to replace that if there is no water damage. Tell them you don't know what happened...you don't remember dropping it or bumping it too hard if its in good cosmetic condition.

I will even delete this thread so no evidence is on the net if you want to :leon:

check the water indicator and make sure the color didn't change, and if it's all good. schedule an appt with the genius bar and make up some bs story about how u put ur phone on the charger after the battery drained and when u came back to check on it to see if it was done charging it never turned back on. if they believe u, they'll just replace the device, make sure u back up ur old one to itunes before tho.

this is where the indicators are located, use a flashlight to see if they turned red:
