« on: November 23, 2013, 02:16:36 PM »
i installed a new flex circuit, lock/power button in my iPhone 4S last night, and unfortunately damaged something on the motherboard :(

does anyone have a 4S, maybe with a broken screen or something that you would want to sell please let me know.

My wifes phone the power / lock button is bad as well. I have an older 3s but no newer ones to get rid of.
I think this has become an addiction.

checked icracked.com

You might be able to get a new motherboard there.

I just replaced the broken screen on Courtney's phone yesterday - bought the full digitizer display at icracked (second purchase, quality product)


**edit**
I looked at their site, didn't see any pc boards.  They've got the cameras, and speakers, and charging ports, and screw sets, and wifi antennas, and … well, most everything but the pc board itself.  Figures.

Couple years ago I bought an iPhone 3gs off CL. Power button did not work. I went to the apple store and they gave me a brand new 3GS for free. Go in the store, see what apple will do for you.

I doubt Apple's going to do anything unfortunately...its been opened...and I think they'll wash their hands of it.

I have heard of people getting exchanges like that at the apple store, but it has never worked for me...
It's 6 months out of warranty and I did not pop for the apple care.
I will prob get something from CL, for the short term I made an adapter drum an old debt card and some packing tape, and put my sim card in my old 3S. But it's painfully slow :/
