Broke my iPhone 3g screen
About 2 weeks ago, Brittany and I were getting some takeout at a local Chinese restaurant and I dropped my iPhone when I was taking it out of my pocket. It happened to land face down on a metal leg of a table and shattered near the home button. Having owned it for only about 3 weeks, I was pretty upset. So after trying to figure out what to do about it, I ended up buying a replacement glass display and digitizer to fix it myself.
I didn’t really find a definitive source online to learn about what was covered under warranty, how much the fix will cost, and how to fix it etc. Sooo, I figured I would throw a page up online to help out the other poor schmoes who bust their iPhone 3G. It’s not quite finished but has some good info on it nonetheless. I taped my repair and have the video pretty much edited, I just need to add narration. I am also going to create a written repair guide on replacing the glass + digitizer as well. You can check out my page about fixing a an iPhone 3G with a cracked glass display here: 3gcrackedglass.com
Below is my sad phone before the fix:
