Old iPhone, much "wear and tear"

My brother and I were one of the first people to purchase the iPhone when it came out, and I absolutely LOVE it. I try to take good care of it, but being a teenager who is always running in a thousand different directions, it's hard to keep my phone in good shape.
Recently, I purchased a plastic case for my phone and dropped my phone in my garage while getting out of the car. The top corner has a spider-webbed crack and small pieces of the glass screen are starting to fall out. It still functions properly but I'm worried that the screen might fall out or something, I already cut my finger pretty badly. Also a while ago, I accidentally spilled nail polish remover on the corner and the screen. I can totally live with the stain, but the screen crack is over the top.
So my question is can my phone be replaced even if it is still functioning? I still have the warranty on it.

This is not covered under the warranty but you may be able to get your iPhone "repaired" which will be an exchange for a new or refurbished iPhone for $249. Expensive but cheaper than purchasing a new one at full retail which is your only other option.

  • What is normal does wear and tear look like on a mac book charger

    My childs school is charging us $80 to replace her charger that stopped working and stated it was her fault it stopped working.  It was a bit frayed at the top but that's it.   The charger was 2 years old when she received it. 

    have a picture?
    80% of wear and tear you cant see ,which is twisting the cable up on the charger and bending it over and over and ruining the copper feeds running thru the rubber coating over the PVC coated sheaths of the copper wire
    So, looking at it often doesnt tell a whole lot.
    if the wires under the rubber look very coiled and twisted, that would be abuse

  • Mini-DVI port not working: wear and tear?

    I had been happily using the mini-DVI port to play content on TV, using a DVI to Video adapter : plugging and unplugging probably twice a week.
    Now it seems to have stopped, abruptly: no signal at all is reaching the TV. (Adapter still works fine on my MacBook.)
    What are the chances of wear and tear damaging the DVI port? Is this a complicated fix? Any other thoughts? No recent upgrades or updates.
    "About this Mac" reckons it's mirroring fine, so it feels like a hardware thing. Many thanks in advance.

    Hello ewfelton
    It is very possible that the DVI port on the iMac has been damaged from wear and tear, as it's harder to get at than the MacBook.
    I would disconnect everything from the iMac, grab a clean towel and turn it face down on the desk. Then with a magnifying glass and light inspect the DVI port for a broken or bent pin. In the process of inspecting the port your SMC will also be reset, follow the instruction for "How to reset the System Management Controller" when your done.
    If the port seems OK and the SMC reset doesn't get it going use Disk Utility to Repair Disk Premissions and try it again.
    Your local Apple Store or local Apple Service Provider can replace a bad or damaged DVI port.

  • Mini DVI Broken (Wear and Tear?)

    I've been pushing my mid-2007 Mac around for a while and I think its startting to sputter out. Whereas I have other computers I'd like to make my Mac run as long as possible before it goes kaput completely. For instance, its monitor screen is completely broken and unusable. To keep it going, I've been attaching it through a Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter to a AOC 23" LCD screen for a while. This has been a suitable replacement until recently. I plug in the adapter, the screen powers up normally, working perfectly for about a second, the computer eminates a high pitched ringing noise, and then the screen goes out as if unconnected unable to read the adapter at all. I'm near certain this problem is with the computer's Mini DVI port and not the adapter or screen. I've tried two adapters and connected the screen to other things. Same problem with other adapters and the screen works with other things. Can it be fixed? Overly costly? Is it possible that the problem is something else? I have literally no screen here so I have only the hardware availible to me at the moment, making things difficult.

  • How do i disassociate devices from my itunes account? I have an old iphone 4, PC, and soon to be old iphone 5.

    How do i disassociate devices from my itunes account? I have an old iphone 4, PC, and soon to be old iphone 5.

    Hey sgallagher5200,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to remove an associated device from your account:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
    To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
    Open iTunes.
    Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
    Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
    From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
    Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My track pad seems to have lost its strong "click" feel. Is this wear and tear or is there some way I can adjust it to feel the "click" more?

    downgrading is not supported by Apple and doing so has the potential to brick your device. so, you can't. if you have feed back for the new iOS you can provide that here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Is there an on-screen touch feature that can be purchased to save wear and tear on the home/escape button?

    Is there an on-screen touch feature for iPad 2 that will save wear and tear on the home/escape button?  If so, what's it called and where can I buy it?

    And if you are running iOS 5, you can enable Multitasking Gestures in the General settings. This enables you to quit out of an app by just pinching with four or five fingers. That saves a lot of use of the Home button.

  • Bootcamp rebooting...wear and tear

    Hi all,
    I'm now 2 weeks into my new macbook pro (i am a PC switcher), and still lovin it. I just wanted to get people's opinions on something.
    I have installed XP using bootcamp for the sole purpose of playing a few games and using 1 online app that requires IE. Other than that, I'm strictly OS X Leopard.
    What are your opinions of the wear and tear on the computer from having to reboot from one OS to another constantly. Constantly being like once a day or once every 2 days. My profession is in electronics, more specifically single board computers used in wireless telecom infrastructure. So i am fairly knowledgeable in this area. I know that "soft" boots are no big deal. As no power is removed from the board. It's just a reset signal to every part on the board. However the stuff i work on doesn't have a harddrive or any mechanical parts like a "computer" does.
    Everytime you reboot the harddrive stops spinning and then restarts along with the optical drive possibly right?
    So chime in please. What's your opinion?

    If it were a problem, Apple would have never made Boot Camp.
    It is not a problem at all.
    I have been doing it for months without any issues.

  • Screensaver wear and tear

    Yes sorry i know this is my second screensaver post today.
    I love screensavers, I think they are great to look at. But, do you all think it causes undue wear and tear on the computer running a graphically advanced screensaver as opposed to one that just shows pictures? I'm currently using Fenetres Volantes (http://objective-cocoa.org/fenetresvolantes/en/index_en.html) which I definitely recommend you all check out. But sometimes when it is running I hear the fans speed up. What do you all think?
    Brett

    No big deal, it's just using more processor power and it gets warm. Not to worry.

  • Wear and tear

    hi
    is there any function module to calculate wear and tear for particular asset?

    Hi,
    this is one of the central functions in the Fixed Asset module ... depreciation calculation. Please regard the SAP Help Portal, there is lots of documentation on this issue.
    To your question: yes, there is of course a function to calculate depreciation, but I would recommend to first try standard reporting as well as standard functions to calculate/display depreciation.
    Regards,

  • Wear and tear around where the screen is connected to the body

    I have a mac book pro,, and recently I noticed some wear and tear in the area where the screen is connected to the body,, represented by discoloration in the material on both sides at the exact location where the screen plastic connects inside the almunim body. I was wondering whether I should be worried,, and if it is something to worry about would my appeal care cover it?

    If it is just at the bottom of the screen surround on the rubber part, I would not be concerend. You can remove it with a damp Qtip, turn your MBP off and be gentle and you can get the dirt off.  If you have concerns, take to Apple you have Applecare.
