Original iPhone Screen Problem

Hi,
My son was at a friends house and his iPod screen was hit with a drumstick. Now, about half of the screen is white. Has anyone seen this, or know what may be involved in a repair?
I appreciate any and all help.
Thanks Very Much,
GT

Hello GT, and welcome to the discussions.
Accidental damage is not covered under Apple's warranty - even if this first generation iPhone remains under warranty.
Apple does not offer a menu of repair services for the iPhone. Apple's "repair" price for the first generation iPhone pays for an exchange - exchanged for a refurbished first generation iPhone that includes a warranty.
Apple's "repair" or exchange price is $199 for the 4G/8GB, and $249 for the 16GB plus tax.
There are some 3rd party repair services available, but you will probably discover the cost involved to repair X, or X & Y only via a 3rd party won't be much less than Apple's "repair" price which pays for an exchange that includes a warranty.
You can contact AppleCare about this at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

HT5622 Will apple replace the original iPhone screen and LCD and digitizer and how much will it be ????? And please tell me ??? Thank you :) for the help :)

Will apple still fix the original iPhone screen ???? And digtizer ???

Apple no longer supports the original iPhone. If you really want to repair it, you'll need to either take/send it to a third-party repair shop or buy parts and attempt repair yourself. Myself I wouldn't spend any money trying to repair the original iPhone.

Original iPhone Restore problem

My original iphone was working ok.
As days went by I noticed some odd things happening, all the mobile phone numbers not being displayed in the address book, telephone favourites showing the number but not the name of the person (e.g. 000 0000 (blank name).
So, I decided to restore my iphone, which i have done but the problem is now after the restoring completes it then displays the 'setup my iphone' window in itunes and I have to restore my iphone.
So i'm in this endless loop of restoring and then having to restore again and again.
Can anyone help??

It's a software issue. Apple obviously didn't test 2.0.2 and iTunes
Solution
All you need to do is when your on the restore screen of death select the backup NOT setup as new phone hit continue and then unplug the phone straight away as soon as the screen changes.
Plug it back in and it works fine iTunes will start recognising it as a phone that has already been restored a million #$#$#$ times. You won't need to reinstall anything apart from the music so long as the previous time around you actually let your restore complete. (IE: don't do this unless your phone is actually restored and it's just iTunes that does not recognise it as restored)

Original iPhone Screen Color Issue?

Hello, so basically my original iPhone is having some screen problems. Whats happening is that the screen colors of the iPhone are somewhat inverted. I don't know how to fix this cause I'm not sure whether or not it's a hardware problem. A helpful note: when I restart it, it shows the apple screen but the backdrop is white and the apple is dark. Other than that it works fine.

and if theres any information ive missed that you would like to know, feel free to ask

IPhone screen problem. Options?

My iPhone recently developed a touch screen problem. A small portion of the screen will not recognize any touch.
The dead portion is all the way from the left to the right of the screen, about 1-2 cm tall, and is located just above the halfway point.
I bought this iPhone last year at the end of june. Up till now, I have not had any problems that a reset couldnt fix.
But this seems more serious.
If I bring it in, what options will Apple give me? It is under warranty.
In the past I have been to the Apple Genius Bar and seen tech reps hand over a brand new iPhone for issues. But since they dont stock iPhones anymore, is this still a possibility?
I will not pay for a refurb since its under warranty.
Thanks

I have a first generation iphone that all the sudden would not respond to any touch on the home screen, but would respond to powering off. It would also respond to the ipod play menu on the lock screen. Because my iphone is out of warranty I descide to get the 3g iphone and just my luck as soon as I go to play with my new toy it does not respond and when it does respond it does what it wants to. If i push settings it wants notes. I have to slide my finger up and to the right in the middle of the screen in order to turn the thing off. Hopefully my luck changes to good when I try to get them replaced.

thanks in advance!

That looks like a hardware issue with the video circuit. Try a restore and if that doesn't work, get it serviced. If it's under warranty, Apple may just replace it.

Original iPhone syncing problem

My original iPhone is not syncing properly. When I connect to my iMac to sync, iPhoto starts up in the normal way, but iTunes does not. When I start up iTunes manually, my iPhone does not show up as a connected devise.
What can I do. I have reset all settings on the iPhone. I have deleted all apps downloaded to the iPhone. I have restarted iPhone and iMac several times.
Help!

I solved the problem for now by reinstalling iTunes.

IPhone screen problems

what to do when iPhone screen is black and not working, possibly from water damage

UUsually when a phone gets wet you put it in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 to 7 days, but that doesn't guarantee that it will work.
you can get an out of warrant iPhone at the Apple store.

My original iPhones screen had problems, and the apple store replaced the phone for me. However this new phone doesn't connect really at all to the 3G network. My phone automatically goes to GPRS. Is it a defective iPhone?

What do you think?

My friend threw a Straight Talk SIM card in so now it is working on the GSM network. The service isn't as good but at least my phone works again.

My Iphone screen problem

While i am using my iphone i.e 3gs and ios 6.0.1 un jailbraked, suddenly the screen coulour dims (looks like green in colour) then it doesnot respond till i restart it.sometimes after so many try it restarts sucessfully or else whenever the apple logo appears during restart it vanishes after a while.any soultion ?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't correct the problem Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Original iPhone hardware problem

hi,
I have a problem with my touch screen - it doesn't respond to my finger taps in a specific row (4,5,6 in the dialer). It will also not respond to this row in any other application.
I believe this is a hardware problem since I tried a few times to hard reset it and it didn't help.
I am now currently in Bangkok, where can I go to in order to have it checked?
Is the local apple store certified to fix or replace it?

You will need to take it to the country of origin to get help if you did not buy it in Thailand.

Iphone screen problem

Hi, I've recently upgraded form the 3g to 3gs and have noticed that when scrolling on certain pages the page seems to flicker, this is especially the case on the app store where even whilst loading lines appear and when you scroll through the pages the whole the flickering is very apparent. This would not be a major problem but i never noticed it on my previous phone but it stood out straight away, is this common with the new phone or OS or is it a defect? any feedback appreciated thanks

I've not noticed this on my iPhone, but I don't use it to visit the app store.
I don't recall reading other such reports, either.

HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
Thank you so much.
I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?
