I recently dropped my iPhone (1st Gen 8gb) to the ground and now the phone function is not working. Everything else on the phone works fine. When I put my sim-card in it actually connects, I see the provider name in the title and I get 1 to 4 bars (not very stable, unlike before). Sometimes it drops out and says No Service. Even if I am (or appear to be) connected I always get "Error performing request: Unknown Error" when I try to make a call, and then it drops to No Service. I can't receive incoming calls. It's funny that it seems to find the network at all, though. I've tried several sim-cards to verify. If I gently shake the phone I can hear a sound which indicates something might be loose inside. Silent ticking sound. I bought it about 1½ year ago from the US, which means I have no warranty/suppor
t, a risk well worth taking at that time since the phone was not launched in my country then. I've been googling this issue but didn't come up with anything, so I emailed the biggest iPhone refurb/fixing company in the area and their reply was "Uh, never heard of it, probably not worth fixing... not interested". Anyone have experience with this and if it's possible to fix, you think it's worth it? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the Post. It is Really Hard to Tell especially if you have something inside that has become loose. You have GSM Wires or they are called WI-Fi Cables they are Glued down, and 1 of them might of come apart or something else. The Best Solution is to take it in, and have it opened for a Diagnostic to see what the problem is and the cost for repairs. As for iPhones we charge a Flat Fee of $29.00 that is Paid up front for a Diagnostic Test and we will tell you exactly what is wrong and the cost. Check with ifixit.com first to see if they will do this for you if not please send us an email at affordablerepai
