Help, Iphone problems after dropping it
I dropped my Iphone and now the bottom fourth of the touch screen doesn't work... the top 3/4 works fine, but this means i cannot unlock it to get to home screen so it's pretty much useless because i have to restart the phone to get it to the homescreen.. I have already tried restoring my phone and it didn't work so does anyone have any ideas? should i try dropping it again lol?

go to ebay and list your phone for sale and expect between $100 and $125 for it.

if the iPhone bears no major visible scars of abuse, if it's in stock firmware I'd take it to an applestore especially if it'still under warranty. They'll probably swap it for you. I just did this with a 2 g this weekend. Warranty was still good till January. If you are out if warranty, theyll charge you $200. In that case, one1's eBay solution is better
