Hi guys. Like to get some opinion or experience from others.

I'm about to send in my new iphone 3gs for warranty. cry.gif Stupid screen is showing an inverted/reverse/negative color on the screen and it has got nothing to do with the setting of "white on black".

Before I do that, I've already purchased an anti-glare protective film and it feels like such a waste and it wasn't cheap since its only been stuck for 3 das. So it is possible for me to re-use it? ie take it out and keep it somewhere to reapply when(hopefully it doesn't take that long) I get my replacement?

@nrewq,
I don't think those stuff are reusable but U could always try.  The only thing is, U will need to make sure it's kept proper so no dust gets stuck to it.

PS: Do U know how long U'll haf to wait till U get ur new phone?

No idea. Going to bring it to the maxis centre later today. If I'm not wrong, I read somewhere that the replacement unit is normally a refurbished unit and not brand new? Cos if that is the case, that would really sux. No idea if I'm going to get charged as well for any warranty claim which will only add salt to the wound.

@nrewq,
U shouldn't have to pay a single cent for the warranty claim you're making; if Maxis charges U $ for that, make helluva noise to create a situation ! biggrin.gif

Yes replacement units are usually refurbished units but they're sorta like new. In fact, because this is a new product, those who's gone in for warranty claims usually get a brand new refurbished set *or at least that's what we like to think* biggrin.gif

Yeah I'm expecting they don't but hey this is Malaysia where anything is possible. In fact, they should compensate me! Having to waste a film and also emotional distress. tongue.gif

Yes I am sure. I gave it a try as well, turning it on and off and making sure it was off. When I did a screen capture, I could see from the camera roll that the screen capture was correct, ie showing a black backgroud. So makes me think that it is more hardware than software.

Update:
I brought my iphone in yesterday and they told me i would get my replacement latest Mon/Tues. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed. According to the maxis cs, the shipment for warranty replacement units arrived at singapore apple yesterday.
