Ok so basically my dad has an iPhone 4s that's had some problems. The wifi hardware does not work, among the phone running slow. I took it in to a store and there have been known issues with the wifi hardware, and the phone is under warranty, so a replacement would be free.
However, the frame is ever so slightly bent, because he barely knocked it with a tool at work, which bumps up the price to $200... I want to attempt to fix this on my own using clamps and something like wood to not scratch anything. I found a similar issue to an iphone 5 at http://youtu.be/SDwO6H8ORzw. I'll do something like this I think. I don't think I need to take the phone completely apart to do this, and I'd rather not since I don't have the tools, but do you guys have any suggestions or advice?
The way I see it is it's in warranty, the bent frame makes it not in warranty, so if I can fix it it'll be free to replace, and if I mess something up, really no harm done since I'll pay $200 regardless. Or we have the option of not doing anything since everything else still works fine lol. Thanks!
