[cmbezln]

i've got a JB iphone 8GB i need to take into the apple store to have fixed or replaced.....the LCD is fubared and the screen is white

do i need to be worried about restoring it before i bring it in since the screen is busted anyway? i dont have access to itunes to restore it right now

Do a restore anyway. It is safe.

does anybody have any experience with them fixing LCD screens at the genius bar?

my screen went white after a soft drop WHILE in an OTTERBOX! there is no cracks at all, is it covered under warranty and if so does that mean its covered for free or for 199$

.....and is it still 199$ to replace or 99$ ....lol

Yes, they can very easily replace the whole display (LCD, glass, digitizer, etc) in about 5-10 minutes depending on the Genius.

Whatever you do, don't tell them you dropped it though.

I think they will just replace it. They told me it wasn't worth it to try and fix the screen.

i was once at an apple store in California with a friend to replace a 3G iphone because the bluetooth was not functioning right. Another person at the genius bar had a iphone 3G that was jailbroken, he was there to replace his headphones that came with the iphone that stopped functioning under warranty. The Genius used that customers jailbroken iphone to get the serial number, he found out that it was jailbroken, he then proceeded to converse with the customer about the jailbroken phone and how his was also jailbroken, they then both proceeded to talk about what they had in their iphone in regards to the jailbroken modifications you can get. I was able to glance at the screen and the carrier was T-Mobile...

i was like woohhhhaaaat! and walked away... lol

similar thing happened to me. I just restored the phone before i went to the Apple. But I noticed that the new glass they put can be easily scratched. I don't know why. But when I first got the iphone I went a couple of weeks without a screen protector. Within a couple of days of having my screen and glass replaced they had huge scratches on them. anyone else notice this?
