imi Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Arrived at LeeP this morning, while chatting to him I dropped my iphone4 on the floor and cracked the screen...... If I take it to Apple - will they be able to replace it under the 1 yr warranty or is this going to be an insurance jobbie? imi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'd be surprised if the 1 year warranty covered you chucking it on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 if you take it to apple say you dropped it from a low hight and say it should be able to with stand a 30cm drop or something and its not durable (a few people have done this before), if that fails, eat the 110£ I think it is for a replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Should have got that Nokia 3310 you were contemplating on buying... solid phones those. http://www.cameraphonesplaza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/nokia-3310.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 LOL K, before I take it to Apple and get them to fix / replace it, would the following item fix the problem... http://www.lingosbox.com/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=GBP&products_id=755 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 MarcAB10 smashed his recently and put a thread up about it here. Might be of some help if you want to give it a bash yourself and save a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I just wanted to replace the broken screen then would an item like THIS be sufficient or do i need the replacement LCD / digitizor combo.

jackso11 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 hmmm. so they can make white replacement parts but not a white phone itself.....I would question the quality of that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The LCD on the iphone 4 is bonded to the actual glass, therefore u can't replace the glass and not the LCD, you will need a complete screen LCD, digitiser the lot. Just take it to apple and see how much they want at least then you know it's getting done with genuine parts etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Only a year warranty. For such an expensive and popular phone they don't give a lot away do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I've fixed a few of these, 50 quid in parts would see it fixed. Drop me a PM if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustomIce Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I've just fixed a mate's one, Glass, digitizer and LCD, as said about £50 parts. It's a pain the LCD is now bonded to the glass at least with the 3 it was just a £13 glass and digitizer replacement. I know its to stop dust getting in it, but surely a half decent gasket would have been better. Sorry back on topic, it's likely they'll want to charge for fixing it, but it's definately worth a shot.

Benzsupra Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Where are you guy's finding the replacement parts for £50? I've looked on eBay but the cheapest i can see is about £80... I have googled it too but i don't get anywhere near them prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
