My iPhones screen has a deadspot in it so I'm bringing it to the apple store in Vancouver and does anyone know if they'll accept it to be repaired even if it has been jailbroken and unlocked previously? I'll probably restore it to factory settings before I bring it to the store. Its a 2G iPhone if that helps.

I am pretty sure they would take it. Isn't the unlocking a firmware update? Watch them lock it again to original network it was on.

It was unlocked for any sim card but I hope they don't update the firmware.

I'd suck it up and buy a new one so they don't call the cops on you.

What he said... you're basically screwed.

Well I'll give it a try but I doubt they'll call the cops haha. Anymore suggestions?

Awesome!!! I found a store that will replace the screen and unlock it and everything!!!

$200 for a new screen

Take your icon and sig off and I'll help you!!

Do it yourself.


My controls > options > board settings.

apple isn't going to take it
Since it's first gen which aren't in Canada and it's unlocked

Well I'm going to try to phone the apple technical support line and see what they can do.

They'll update it to the newest version btw.
Thats the first thing they do.

Is the problem really that bad?
If not, just sell it online, and buy a new unlocked one, you might pay about 50$ more, but its better than 200$ worth replacement.

Damn no luck they found out it was unlocked.

Well duh...

So if I restore my iphone and bring it to the apple store for the screen to be fixed will they accept it? About how much will it cost?

200$
But they update it to the latest version.

Soooo yaa.
Both ways ur screwed.

Ok thanks for the info and there is usually always a way to unlock the latest firmware. Plus I already found a few cellular stores that will replace the screen for $200 and they don't update the software.

THERE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT FOR THE SECOND TIME!!
Its a first generation and first generations ARE NOT In canada, so these people at apple have no expierience, and theyll ask "Oh, so its unlocked since its in canada, sorry we cant help"

Your sig is not funny and you should take it off.

happy now mr. crocadile?

i should take mine to apple store too.. i got my iphone 3g 2 weeks ago.. yesterday, suddenly turned off for some reason and can't turn back on.. but now it's ok again..

They'll accept the 3G for sure, you probably still have a warranty of some sort.

theres a lil store in north van that could probably fix it for you...for cheap....i took my 3g there and they fixed my mute button for free
