Anyone know where in KL I can get my 1st gen iphone fixed? The screen/phone works perfectly, but I just have dents and scratches all around the bezel, aluminum and black cover -- not a pretty site. Superficially, it needs fixing.

If you can fix it, how much do you charge? please PM me or leave a message here, thanks.

even hearing abt it makes my heart weak.,..
can imagine wat u wud be feeling...
nt sure if u can get da body fixed...
thr are sm ppl selling da bat n lcd in GS
try asking them
all da best

I can get the parts from ebay, my only problem is opening up the phone -- i saw some diagrams and it looks quite complicated, so I'm kind of afraid to do the job. If you or someone has the experience to fix the iphone, please let me know, and I'll be willing to pay for it.

Thanks.

its nt abt da money bro...
ppl here are willing enough 2 help u as much as they can..
dun wurry, u wud be able 2 fix ur phone soon...
dun wurry, be happy...

besides, just to let you know... by doing that disassembly, they will not guarantee the success rate and prone to more problems in future. so, are you ready to take a risk like that?

The thing is its only the back covers and the silver bezel that needs changing, so I don't think it would be as complex as say, changing the whole touch screen.

So yes, I'll be willing to take the risk.

any chance of contract or warranty void?

i think my warranty has already been void since I jailbreak and used a non-AT&T carrier, lol. i've also had my phone for almost over a year already i think.

I would do it for my own iPhone, but will not take repair for others, it's too much risk for me to take, can't afford to replace an iPhone. I would say, good luck. You can try contacting my buddy Alvin: alvin.fkm(at)gmail(dot)com

sonnettech asia? our fellow forumer??

his the best around good luck

y nvr user chun chun casing?

alas,, nasi sudah jadi bubur...
hehe...
i would nt dare let anyting happen 2 any of my gadgets...
love them more than my life...

ah okay thanks wei, i'll e-mail him and let him know.

Perhaps I should get another case -- I'm currently using those slide-in-slide-out cases, my iphone just happened to slide OUT...stupidity on my part because I thought there was enough friction to keep it in.

I can sell you a set of tools to DIY yourself. Original back case n chrome ring are not cheap, maybe you can custom it n spray in colors, just a thought.

i also dropped my iphone once before....got some minor dents at the edges of my iphone aluminum case. However, i does not bother too much as my iphone is still working fine.

*prom night flashback!*

*TWICE!*

This all seems so familliar. Ahh yes, it's all coming back to me now. 4 days after I got my iPhone. The road. My iPhone......

OMG it really hurts when i read this thread..such a nice phone of course have to take care of it nicely la..

If you don't mind, just get hard casings to cover it up.

seriously try sonnet tech...

any picture? maybe i can help...

sonnet tech? whats that?

@ kai5183


what "bahan" are you using to fill up the dent? care to share? thanks a lot in advance

you can get an aluminium back cover on ebay for like 9 bucks, would it be better to just order it from there?

fill up with epoxy, sand it, mask it, paint it...finish

sonnetech asia...a forumer here..he is known for fixing and sourcing parts for any apple related products........
