    Default My iPhone 4 power button sunk in :(

    So I bought this iPhone 4 Gevey sim unlocked on ebay...the power button worked for couple days, and I woke up today and it miracously sunk in. I don't know how to replace hardwares on iPhones. Do you think Apple store will fix it for me? I'm also on Tmobile network.

    Please help, its really annoying.

    Check out YouTube and see. I don't think there's much to it.

    I saw Installing iPhone 4 Power & Lock Button - Page 4 - iFixit . It seems like 20 freaking steps, and I'm scared I might break my phone, as I don't have an extra one.

    I plan to call Apple tomorrow, I'm hoping they will take apart my power button and put it back together free of charge. If they won't do it i dont know what i'll do. this is really ANNOYING

    If Apple were to replace my iPhone 4? Do you think they'll give me one w/o iOS 5 and baseband less than 4.10

    I just ordered those two parts, it should be arriving wednesday or thursday of this week.

    I think I'll be performing a dissection of my iPHone and pray to god that i don't mess anything up. I feel like this is rocket science.
