Question Iphone Repair

Sup guys.

Dropped and broke my screen today on my 3GS. Its not cracked in a any way on the glass or anything, but the screen doesn't read anymore. It's just blank white, and sometimes a whole bunch of lines. I'm tryna get it fixed, saw a million different peeps on Craigslist advertising fixes...but I think there sketchy. Any of you guys, know/repaired your iphones and have a reputable spot to get it fixed at?

.....Or should I just go back to apple and say it just stopped working?

Thanks!

If nothing cracked and it looks physically okay it should be warrantied...just be persistent...

Otherwise, you can just buy the digitizer and replace it yourself!

You can try the fix of the device or go to Apple and pay $199 for a refurbed working phone.

You sir are living in a cave. I invite you to take a stroll with me, outside of this cave.

Apple does have good customer service. I just got a brand new 3g from them in Feb cuz my screen had some dead pixels on it and was losing calls even after 3 sim cards.

Works out cuz my contract is up soon and a virtually brand new 3g will be on the market in due time lol.
