Sosebee Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Tonight when I got out of my truck, my phone fell out of my lap onto the ground. To my grave disappointment, the screen had cracked. Has anyone replaced a screen on the Iphone 5 or any of the previous Iphones and has any tips or tricks. Or should I just take it in to get it fixed?? 2005 Chevy Colorado Pioneer avic-x930bt Alpine pdx-m12 Alpine pdx-f4 Focal is 165 Focal ic 165 Sundown SA 15 D4 Kicker 0/1 OFC power wire Kicker 12 awg speaker wire XS Power D2400 DC Power 270 H/O Alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not remotely a warranty issue. You're out of luck unless you have insurance on the phone through your carrier. The iPhone 5 is so new that I doubt parts to fix it yourself are even readily available. That does suck, though. I sent my iPhone 3GS to the ground from my lap 4 times and it miraculously survived with just a few dings on the corners. Now my iPhone 4 goes in the console (connected to head unit) and I tend to forget it in the car. Which is better than launching it onto the parking lot, I guess. 2007 Ford Escape V6 My "low-budget college kid build" HU: Pioneer AVIC-X930BT Mids/Highs: Rockford Prime 6.5" M/H Amp: Rockford Prime R250-4 Subs: 2x Rockford Punch P1S4-12 Sub Amp: Rockford Prime R500-1D Wiring: Knukonceptz KCA 4AWG Box: 3/4" MDF, ~2 cubes tuned to ~40hz 5000K HIDs/LED signals and interior lights ...And an SMD VM-1!
