IPhone 5 - Water Damage and Screen Damage

I dropped my iPhone 5 December 2013, managed to deal with it upto the end of January when I went to a party and accidentally knocked it into a drunken friends sick. I dried phone best I could as I had no rice nearby so just was a towel I used. The phone turned on and off okay however was tacky with buttons on the screen, it was bad calibration. The phone worked for 2 weeks then started having bad calibration issues again and then I got lines down the screen multicoloured so by this I'm assuming that it's water damaged. The screen is completely smashed and chipped on the rear corner and front corner. I'm just wondering if anyone knows a price it would be for a replacement at the Genius Bar (Liverpool, UK). All I get on emails, chat and phone is we'll look when you come in and after inspection the most it can be is £209 which I'm hoping I don't have to pay. I'm needing an approximate price not the maximum they charge for any inspection. Does anyone know the criteria for it to ever be £209 or anybody had this experience before? I have no idea what to take in with me money wise and no idea what they will have to do. Also regarding the SIM card, can that get damaged in anyway? And will my contract company (O2) send me a new one for free of charge if it's rusty broke or whatever?
My iPhone 5 is in warranty, I dropped it last year and paid £170 to get a replacement but apparently prices have changed. My warranty runs out the end of April 2014/beginning of June 2014.
Thank you

"If Apple allows me to purchase a phone for the replacement fee, would they allow me to purchase the iphone 5 at the replacement fee price? "
No.
"Or would I only be allowed to purchase the iphone 4s because it was the model I am replacing?"
Yes.

IPhone5 water damage and screen smash

Yesterday I was at a theme park and I dropped my iphone5 and it was smashed all over the screen (i know i'm an idiot) but this happens frequently now so i just make do with it and eventually get a new one. Then I went on a water ride and my iphone5 somehow became water damaged. It just says to connect to itunes but when I do it says to restore the iphone5. When I try to restore it an error occours. Is there any way I can make my iphone work again? Or do I just get a replacement? And also, I havent synced my iphone since about two weeks ago, and i've taken quite a lot of photos, I'm guessing they will be wiped from my phone as well? I'm pretty sure the speaker on my phone is broke but I just want my phone for messages, photos etc

Make an appointment at the genius bar and get it replaced. $229. You're going to lose anything that wasn't already backed up.

HP Envy 15 Heating Issues and Screen Damage

Hello,
This is going to be quite long since I'm going to explain everything in as much detail as possible.
I bought my HP Envy 15 (j123tx) in September 2014 and for three months I had absolutely no issue with it (work wise and gaming wise) until one day I booted up the computer and noticed that a big rectangular portion of the screen (on the top - in the rectangular area that aligns with the touchpad when the lid is closed) was discoloured. Specifically it was much darker than the rest of the screen on a black background and yellow on a white background.
After checking to see if there was anything on the screen's surface, I realized it was a hardware issue and decided to use my warranty (of which I have another 8 months or so remaining). I told the retailers about the issue and they told me it could be because of the pressure applied on the lid (when it is closed) that affects the screen specifically in that area since the touchpad is a bit sunken in to the notebook's body. After expressing my displeasure at how inconvenient that is since I've taken very good care of my notebook and have only transported it in the HP notebook bag, they promised me that they would send it to the HP Service Center in Sri Lanka who would replace the display panel for me (obviously since my notebook is still under warranty).
After 10 working days, I went over to the retailer's warranty center and collected my notebook with the display panel replaced and the problem gone. I did however notice that the technicians had pasted a note next to the touchpad which read "Check the temperature of the touchpad. It could be heating up and damaging the screen". I asked the retailer's technicians what this meant and they told me that since the notebook has a magnesium (or magnesium based) body, it tends to heat up. The heat could also be heating up the touchpad (since that too seems to be made of magnesium). As a result whenever I close the lid of my notebook, the rectangular screen area directly above the touchpad could be heating up and thus getting damaged.
Now this to me seems like a huge product defect. I've been using HP notebooks for more than 8 years and I've never heard of this issue before. I asked the technicians how I could prevent this from occurring again and they told me to use the little cloth that came with the laptop when I bought it that is placed under the lid (between the screen and the keyboard) when the lid is closed.
While using that little cloth doesn't seem to be quite inconvenient, I'm very afraid that the problem will occur again and I'll have to get it fixed again which involves transferring all my data and losing my notebook for 2 weeks which is highly problematic for me as I require it for work. Should the problem occur again outside the warranty period, I feel I may have wasted a good amount of money on this notebook when I trusted HP over its competitors simply due to my past experiences with its reliability, durability and performance.
While I realize this is not a current issue - I would really like to know if this issue has been experienced before (my search did not turn up anything related) and if I do have to be worried about it happening again and if so, how I should go about handling it with the retailers (perhaps I should give it back and ask for a refund for selling me a defective product).
Thank you sincerely.
PS: I have attached a picture of the problem when it occurred for your reference.

Thanks for the prompt reply WeiH.
Sadly there doesn't seem to be an HP Service Center in my country (Sri Lanka). So now I'm really confused as to what my retailer's technicians meant by "we'll send it to the local HP Support Center and have your display panel replaced".
Whatever they did, the display panel has been replaced and I've been using it for less than a week so far with no issues. The touchpad hasn't really been heating up and has in fact been as warm as the rest of the notebook. Perhaps it's because I have now turned on the option of disabling the touchpad whenever an external cursor device is attached (since I primarily always use a mouse).
Needless to say, since we both have no clue as to how the touchpad overheated and damaged the screen (in the exact position and measurement as the touchpad) I feel like it's just a matter of time before it happens again.
Obviously I understand that there's little you can do on your side other than direct me to an HP Support Center. However I hope my worries are justified as I feel that as a consumer I shouldn't have to worry about my brand new product malfunctioning by no fault of my own.

HELP! Water and Screen Damage!

I was cleaning my 30 gig video ipod today, and I made the extremely stupid mistake of running it under the sink to get all the crap off of it. It was under the sink for about 5-6 seconds, and I noticed that the screen turned a very strange color. The background was a weird, blue color, and the text was white. Of course, I got the sad iPod sign, but when I plugged it into restore my iPod, it wouldn't let me restore- even though my iPod was plugged in, I just got that message that said, "Plug in an ipod to restore it." The whole thing just didn't look right, and I'm scared to death because I've only had my iPod for about a month now, and I've already damaged it. I followed the advice of the people on this forum, turned off my iPod, and layed it down flat under my desk lamp to let it dry.
What should I do? Let it dry? Send it back because of the screen? Will the screen work after drying it for several days? And how can I get it to restore my iPod? Thank you SO much for any help!

Oh goodness.
You're in a mess, aren't you?
You'll have to let your iPod dry for several days. Some users say about a week.
After that, plug it in to see if it will turn on.
Here's an article about the sad iPod icon: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61771
Do not plug in or turn on your iPod during the next few days. Turn the Hold on and leave it alone!
As for the screen, any damage to it won't be covered by Apple. If your screen still "looks funny" once the iPod is dry, you'll have to send it elsewhere for repair. Many users recommend http://www.ipodresq.com.

Need help with iphone, dropped it and screen is "white"

I dropped the iPhone last night, not too hard even, but when I picked it up there was a "line" on the side of the screen and the rest was blank/white.
I can't turn it off. Is there a way to reset/turn off without seeing the screen?
thanks

New iPhone 5 pops and screen cracks with no impact at all

I got a new iPhone 5 about a month ago and i was just sitting in my room, on instagram, on my phone when I suddenly heard a pop and noticed my iPhone cracked. I showed my friend who didnt believe me untill it poped again in his hands as well then a third time when it was placed on the table. I never dropped it or was never placed under any extreme temperature changes or anything. I noticed some other people having this problem as well and its not just me. Please let me know who else has this problem and how you resolved it. Apple is clearly doing something different and with less quality that screens are just popping and cracking.

Whether someone else has had this problem doesn't really matter. It happened to you, make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have the device examined. If Apple determines it is a manufacturing defect, they will replace the phone if it is under warranty.

IPhone not charging and screen not turning on after battery died

The battery on my iPhone just died about 2 hours ago. I noticed the battery getting kind of hot. Normally when this happens, I let it run to 0% then recharge it to 100%.
After the phone died, I plugged it in (wall charger) and nothing came on the screen. I then plugged it into the computer and nothing came on the screen at all. I left it plugged in for about 20 minutes and still nothing on the screen but the back of the phone was getting really hot. I held the phone up to my ear and heard a slight buzzing noise from the earpiece (?) and when i took the cable out the noise stopped. The overheating kind of freaked me out but I looked extensively online and everything mentioned flipping the vibrate switch and holding the home and power buttons. I then tried restarting my phone while the phone is plugged in and again nothing showed up on the screen.
I tried all of this and nothing happened. As of now I've taken the phone off of the charger as I'm unsure what my next move is going to be. I won't be able to take it to an Apple Store until April so I'm pretty much screwed.
Anyone have anything else I can try?

I was having battery troubles outlined in this topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2324513&start=135&tstart=15
I tried some of the easy fixes but none had worked so far. Since the last time my battery drained to 0% and turned off (yesterday), my phone has not turned on. I have plugged it into a working wall socket, and plugged it into my computer, and neither has worked. Please note it's been plugged in for more than 24 hours. I have tried rebooting it but nothing seems to work. I have checked the apple support topics and can't find any solution to this problem that has worked.
Also please note that my phone is not getting hot to the touch, nor is it making a "humming" noise.
Thanks.

RG1 FOR DAMAGES AND SCRAP

HI
my client transfers the finished glass( updated in RG1 register) to the printing section where around 10% of the material is damaged and the damaged is sent back for processing as ROH.
How the RG1 for the updated is removed from the register)
Krishna

Hi
It is not possible to remove the RG1 register update, but we can avail the utilised ED by following way.
In J1iex capture&post the excise invoice without refering to purchase order for the quantity of material damaged/scrapped.
while doing in item 0001 tab give the material and change the material type from finished goods to rawmaterial.
Enter the duty values and other datas post it in the (RG23A)register it will showned as availed ED. The duty utlised during sales for the material is availed bcak in the register after you made it as scrap/waste.
This is according to my concept.
