iPhone died - Wants restored, blank screen

Okay, that's worse news. If you have water damage, then what Applejuiced wrote is the cost (i.e., ~$200). You can try to look at the water sensors to see if they are pink or red. You really can't see them with the naked eye though. The Genius has a little magnifying/light tool that they shine to see them better. One is in the head phone jack. Another is in the middle towards the back of the iPhone in the Dock Connectors. Two others are inside the iPhone. If they don't see water damage outside, they won't check inside. Don't say anything about possibly getting water damage though. Anyway, you can try to see if you have water damage. If you don't then you get to pay the lower price.

BTW, if you have only had it for two months, the battery will be free. But you said it is a 1st Gen, so I'm confused. If you got a refurb from Apple, you still get a year warranty.

I just reread all your posts. This is an iPod Touch? If so, water damage is $99. IDK what the battery costs, since I can't find the link for the $99 cost, but I know it is that.

No no no... I paid for the update for an iPod, unrelated to this, this is an iPhone 3G, 2 months past warranty. I'll try see if the water sensors tripped

Edit: they havent

Well, if they think it's the battery, I believe they just hand you a new one (a refurb, as good as new) after you pay the battery replacement cost. So, even if it ended up being more than that, you'll be golden. Good luck.

Sweet. Can I choose to get a white iPhone, since I personally don't like the black, and fancy a change (me and my dad both have iPhones, and their both black 16GB)?

Or I am pushing my luck?

I would think you're pushing your luck. Have you made an appointment?

Not yet. Going to go in the evening, not sure what time would be best yet, and its not really packed out after 4 so I should be ok.
So your predicting battery failure...

I hope it's not too much
