Here's a link to the vimeo video (video is now available): https://vimeo.com/49324938

But basically, the phone only works when plugged in. It works for a couple of minutes and then flashes white and shuts off (then restarts, because it's plugged in).

The phone took a pretty serious tumble and had a broken screen (among other things). At this point, it would only turn on to the apple logo then shut off and continue this process. I plugged it into itunes and put it in recovery mode (but didn't actually do anything through itunes), unplugged it and didn't touch it again until I got the new screen. New screen is on and now at least the phone is working. The grayed out wifi is logic board problem (not antenna; the screw is still attached to the part that is attached to the logic board.

The battery is weird, too. I'm not sure if this is logic board issue or it's a bad battery. I have two batteries. One that I know is bad and the other I don't know about. both, when in this phone, show "100% charged". But one, in a different phone only shows the "dead battery, needs charged" logo.

Any help is appreciated!
