Iphone Video Out Not Working

You love your iPhone. It's full of great and easy to use features and looks great. Then one day she slips out of his hand, hit the pavement, and his iPhone once is pretty unsightly cracks across the face of glass. What do you do now?

You could do anything. In most cases, the LCD (picture) below the glass is thin and touchscreen functionality still works, so you can use it that way until the next version of iPhone comes out and you feel the need update.

If you are like most iPhone owners, this "do nothing" approach is not much of an option. You have an iPhone, because you have style and looks more elegant. So how do you fix it? There are a number of options.

First, you could buy a new iPhone. Just walk into an AT & T or Apple Store and leave with a new iPhone. This is definitely the easiest and fastest option. Is also the most expensive. You may have purchased your iPhone for only $ 99, but you had to sign a contract for 2 years to reach that price. Now that you under contract, they will charge you around $ 500 for a phone replacement.

Another option is to have Apple fix it for you. This option is less expensive than buying a new phone, but still one of the most expensive to repair the phone. It also requires you to be near an Apple Store. The cost for this choice option to split your screen is $ 199 plus sales tax.

By far the cheapest option is to go on eBay and buy a glass screen replacement for about $ 20 – $ 30 and install it on your phone even. A simple search on eBay for the words "touch screen" iPhone will reveal a series of different companies that sell glass touchscreen (3G and 3GS glass are different, so make sure you get a version of the iPhone for you). Then a quick visit to Youtube and search for "how to fix a screen of the iPhone," will produce a video showing how to make the repair.

Be warned: This repair is not trivial. It requires a heat gun to remove their current phones, broken glass, and if you're not careful, is possible to completely destroy your phone. If you choose this option, make sure you are comfortable with small electronics repair and be very careful.

A simpler option and safer for the do-it-yourself repair person is buying a set of full screen – not just glass touch screen. There are two options with this route: Get the set with the LCD of the same (about U.S. $ 100) or without the LCD (about $ 60). Using any one of these options means you do not need to use a heat gun to replace the glass and you should be able to do the repair in about 10-15 minutes. A video is worth 10,000 words again, go to YouTube and do a search for "iPhone screen repair assembly" and you will find several videos using this method.

The final option is one of the safest and is still very profitable, I have a 3rd party to repair the iPhone for you. If you live in a decent sized city, do a search on Craigslist and you'll find someone within driving distance that will do it for less than $ 100. They should be able to do this for you in about 15 minutes while you wait.

If you do not live in a big city, there are some companies that mail offer repairs. Again, this usually costs less than $ 100, but you will have to be without phone for about a week (a couple of days with each type of transmission and the other day to repair). A simple Google search for "email in the repair of the iPhone," will reveal a number of companies that offer repair.

So do not throw out your iPhone just because you dropped it and broke the screen. Save yourself several hundred dollars and get it repaired. If you are the type Electronic affordable, do-it-yourself options are the best way. Not so efficient with a screwdriver and small ribbon cables? Then find a local store to help you or send it in for repair.
