As for the Original iPhone they are very Difficult Devices to Repair and the cost will come out of your Pocket because this is the 1st iPhone and it is extremely difficult to Repair. Leave this to any Professional like iFixit.com or any other Repair Professional. As for all Device when sent to a 3rd Party Repair Facility they perform Diagnostic to tell you exactly what is wrong with your Device. As for what you are Describing using a Car Charger, Docking Station are Extremely Bad NEWS!!! DO NOT USE THESE unless you have $499.99 every Month to Buy a New Phone. As for a Battery Replacement it does require Soldering and is not a job for a 1st Timer. As for the Other iPhone your Digitizer is no Good. The Digitizer you may ask is the Touch Part Glass without this feature you will not be able to do anything. Now on the 1st Gen iPhone the LCD+Digitizer is Fuzed together. Its not like the New 3g iphone. You damage the Digitizer on the iPhone you can replace the Digitizer. With the phone you have the Digitizer+LCD Screen is all 1 piece. The Price for the part is $159.99 and having a Professional install it will save you a lot of Money. Now don't get the idea I might of just Buy a New phone? I hear this all the time try to go Buy another at Apple and they will charge you $499.99 for the 2nd one as you are only entitle to 1 iPhone at the Great Price of $199.99 with a New 2 Year Contract. The $159.99 Plus Installation is really Cheap and your iPhone will be repaired for the Touch Part. As for Battery Replacements for that phone pay the $59.00 plus Instllation charges, and make sure all work comes with a Warranty as we offer 3 Month and 1 Year Extended Warrantys. If there is a Place that does not offer Warranty STAY AWAY unless you have MOney to Burn everytime.

Kind Regards

Thanks for the advice. Are you saying not to use a car charger? I was not using a docking station in the car. I was using a charging cable from lighter supply to dock connector on the iPhone, not a docking station. Can you clarify? I do realize these devices are real difficult to repair. The instructions don't tell you how to put it back together. As far as new iPhone, you are right, new 2 year contract, but I think I can get the cheaper price. I may wait to see what the prices are next after new phones are announced.

thanks

Thanks for your Message ICGUY,

Okay as for Docking Stations, Car Chargers and thing like that for the iPODs, and iPhones we have seen so many come through the Repair Shop and they draw to much current to the Boards and OverCharge everything inside them ruining them. Stay away from these unless you have a iPod or iPhone that you just don't care about they will ruin your device in a Matter of Minutes. As for the Digitizer+LCD Screen Replacement it is really worth it for a GSM Phone that you can use. Especailly they are not producing the Parts for the iPhone 1st Gen anymore and they will be up there in price so hold on to it and have it repaired it will be worth wild later on. It will be a collectors item in the Near Future because that is Apple's first iPhone!!

Kind Regards
