Broken IPhone Glass
Yesterday, Jon's IPhone screen broke and it was kind of my fault... Well, I don't really know how it happened, I was giving him a hug and as I backing away, he started to take the phone off his pocket. Next thing we hear is the noise of the phone falling on the ground.
This was really unfortunate because he has been receiving and making lots of important phone calls and now he can't access the contacts or answer the phone. The phone, by the way (and thank god!), is working underneath the broken surface, but the touch screen does not recognize touch. It turns out that the glass serves only as protection, the actual touch sensors are underneath it.
I offered to bring it to the Apple store to get it fixed, but Jon said he would do it himself for cheaper. I mean, fix it, not bring it to the store. I got really curious and decided to look it up on Google. I found an IPhone Buzz blog post teaching how to get the screen fixed for $5!!!! Yes, five bucks... I mean, the result is not the same thing as the shiny glass screen, since they use transparent plastic, but I am really tempted to try this... after all, if it turns out to suck, I only spent two toonies and a loonie.
For those who are curious, check this post for the complete step by step screen recovery process.
