MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 17632 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	It was fine one moment, and then when I picked it up to check my calendar, nothing. Black screen and absolutely no response. iTunes doesn't see it and it isn't charging (doesn't get warm). I dropped it last Monday and cracked (not shattered) the screen glass and it has been working normally until this evening. I'm still nearly 6 months away from my upgrade eligibility, so I may be phoneless for that time. _________________________

And AppleCare+ next time you get a new one. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Usually 35.00 Have them do that and while it's open see if a connector came loose, or at least maybe determine what the problem is. If it's too expensive to fix... go to a third party. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 17632 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	Taking it to my local Apple Tech tomorrow after work. I have a lifetime (phone and owner arrangement) there, since it has been repaired there once. It could be the digitizer that they replaced last time. _________________________

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 13602 Loc: Columbus OH	Wow, the glass cracked with the Defender on, must have been an unlucky hit directly to the screen? Hope your Apple guy can take care of it. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 17632 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	It wasn't in the Defender since that was not secure anyway. It was working OK with the cracked screen all week. Edited by MacBozo (01/19/14 04:39 PM) _________________________

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 17632 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	I mended the Defender as best I could so that it would lock into the holster. It was in the Defender when it went dark. _________________________

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 17632 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	Quick Reply kinda sucks here. I might have to appeal to AT&T since I've been with them for about 15 years - AT&T/Cingular/AT&T. I wouldn't mind a 5s at all. _________________________
