try reading the replies you sent to crxr, and compare those that he sent you.
I'm surprised crxr had not retaliated to your insults which are bridging on to personal attacks and provoke.
We all have emotions behind that keyboard and phone that we are communicating with, if someone would just fcuk you on the street suddenly just like that, what would you do?
So what if you have a degree? Every tom, d*** and harry on the street has one.
Those SMS don't even reflect an inch of that educated side of yours, if what crxr had said is the truth (which i would tend to believe), he have already extended an olive branch to you by offering the 8GB working replacement.
ShIt happens and neither you nor crxr would want this to occur, there's only one approach which can solve this issue amicably which is give and take.
as to what another forummer had said, there's no official iPhone 2G repair in M'sia and there is definitely a risk when you make that decision to ask somebody to open the phone up.
So what's your stand bro?
The insults aside, because I can understand his frustration. (Not justifying the swearing though)
You are being biased. Look at it from a Client - Technician aspect.
When the client passed the phone to the technician, everything but the ear piece was working.
Now the technician want to pass back a non working iphone to the client.
Instead of agreeing to fix the problem, he wants to charge more money and give back a 8gb iphone from the 16 which was originally given to him.
TBH, this can be said that the technician is taking advantage, and there is nothing wrong with the 16 gb in the first place, he trying to replace a cheaper product with what he was originally given.
I dont see how this is fair.
Like you said, theres no official iPhone 2g repairer, but when the technician took it, he should have opened it up and check for this damages and showed it to the client and gave some kind of disclaimer and say, I will try to fix it, but look at this part, it looks like water damage, the phone might have some problems.
The technician didnt, and thus voided and claims he has to "damage done".
To be fair, he should take this as a lesson and give the client back a working iphone as he promised and let bygone be bygones. Let this be a lesson to the technician.
Facts .
1. When item was given to technician with so called (water damage) Iphone touch screen was still working
2. In the hands of technician, touch screen ceased to work due to (acceleration of water damage ) wtv that means.
There is no way that technician can prove it was due to client that the phone touch screen ceased to work. Therefore it is only fair, that technician take responsibility and fix the problem for free (or with an additional charge, 50 to me sounds alright) or replace the clients iphone with one of equal value and specifications.
Im trying to be fair to both side, and from the facts, this is what i deem fair to both sides.
Technician , cant just say it was due to client that the phone cant work. when the phone was passed to him, everything was working all right.
