Broken iPhone Screen?

 

My broken iPhone Screen

What you see in front of you is my iPhone's broken screen. Luckily its not as bad as the first time.

Yeah, this is my second time. 

My first time was two days after I bought my new iPhone 4S. My first reaction was dramatic, but now, I just have nothing to say...

If you're reading this you're probably experiencing a broken iPhone or NOT. so if your iPhone's still new and fresh BUY A New COVER and a SCREEN PROTECTOR!

You're probably wondering why I didn't do this

myself the first time...but I did.

and just as I removed the cover and planned to buy a new one a couple of days later, my phone fell on the bathroom floor and broke again.

So, all you iPhone owners out there buy a screen protector and a nice colourful cover, its worth it instead of paying some extra money to repair your iPhone.

If you're here because you've broken your iPhone then you have two options:

1)

is call Apple and ask how much it'll cost your screen to get repaired. This will depend on wether your phone is an iPhone 4, 4S or 5. It will also depend on your country.

I fixed my iPhone 4S for an equivalent of around $200. 

I've also searched the internet and found someone who said apple asked for $229 to fix their iPhone 5 screen.

2) 

is buy a screen and repair it for yourself. 

Here's a Video by CNET that explains how to repair your screen on your own.

                                                                           

                                                                                                            Video by CNET TV

even though this option is less costly, it may be a bit risky to open up your iPhone on your own.

3) 

is if you think you can use an iPhone with a slightly broken screen then live with it. 

But if it is really severe you should repair it using any of the suggested ways.

iPhone Water Damage: How to fix your iPhone from Water Damage?

Fix your iPhone from Water damage

Photo By Repair_Labs

You can't imagine how likely it is to accidentally drop your iPhone into a swimming pool, a shower, a toilet or even an ocean!

If you haven't dropped your iPhone in water yet, buy a water proof cover and look out cause its pretty likely you will.
If you have dropped it, then I have to tell you you're lucky it didn't fall inside milk or any other sticky liquid.

I myself have experienced the iPhone in toilet, After quickly sticking my hand in the toilet and taking it out, I found out my iPhone speakers were not working and the screen was doing strange things + taking false orders.

Anyway, don't worry, you're iPhone will be fine..
You also won't need to spend any money to fix it :)






First, you have to understand that there are two different levels of water damage.



Damage 1:

-You find yourself with a slightly wet phone that has only gone snorkelling over the sea surface.

-You were really fast at jumping into the pool or at sticking your hand into the toilet to save your lovely friend then the damage probably didn't reach out for any hardware inside the phone (Board, Speakers, etc.).







Damage 2:

- You end up with an extremely damaged phone that went diving deep into the blue waters.

- The phone spent a couple of seconds inside the water.

-You probably couldn't save it in time :(

If your phone is at Level 1 or at the first bit of Level 2 (meaning it didn't spend some time under water) then follow the steps bellow, if it is beyond Level 2 then you'll need to spend some money to repair it and change the damaged pieces at any apple store.

         Step 4:

Get a bowl of UNCooked Rice and put your iPhone inside it for two-three days.

You'll be amazed by the results!

My phone was a mess at first and after trying this out everything was fine :)
