Am I screwed? can I take my iphone back to Apple??

[xsecretfiles]

couple of days ago my battery started acting weird. I noticed that it has like 10% left and five minutes later it was full. I didn't make much of it

The it did it again yesterday. but TODAY it's not holding a charge. So far I've left the phone plug in for TWO hours and I'm still seen the red low battery sign and If I unplug it it just tells me I need it to plug in and it fades*turns off". I mean I can't even get to the OS to do a restore...


Also can I take it back to apple? It's a 3Gs that I bought in what July?
...but It was jailbroken also, I doubt it was the jailbrake that gave me the problem since i haven't installed anything in a month or two..since I've been waiting for the dev team, and I didn't update to 3.1 either because of the issues I keep hearing about ....I know Irony

any other solutions

This is the battery charging screen I'm in. I only googled the pic in case you wonder...

Could you get your iPhone into DFU mode whilst plugged in?

Then try a restore? Though if the battery is dead, like it sounds, then restoring wouldn't do any good anyway. I'd take it back to an Apple store, even though it's out of warranty, if you're nice and polite and explain that you are disappointed since you've not had it 18 months, they may replace it. I wouldn't worry about the jailbreak, if you can't even turn the phone on, they'll never know! I had one replaced, they didn't notice the jailbreak and the tests they did didn't find anything either.

If you have no joy, call Apple. A battery must be able to last over a year! If it's failed now, then it would, I think, be classed as a manufacturing issue and covered under consumer goods act
