I'm sure I'm not the only one out there that has a broken switch on the side of their iPhone. Mine is currently stuck in Silent and the switch just moves up and down with no change.

I read that there used to be an app from iClarified pre 2.0, but it's never been ported.

I ordered the kit to replace the switch, but I gotta say I'm not very comfortable taking the iphone apart. I've got the skills, but it's still scary.

Anyway, if anyone has the skills to make this app, I'd gladly donate!

Thanks!
