i dropped my iphone (ive done it a million times before) and now i cant get it to recognize my fat fingers to unlock the bugger. i dont know if it had anything to do with dropping it as it was a pretty light drop. anyone else have this happen, 1st gen iphone?

its like it doesnt recognize anything on the bottom half of the screen, but the slider when i turn off the phone on top recognizes my finger. however, it won't recognize my finger when i try to cancel out of that screen.

i cant seem to get my anti-gravity belt to work anymore either... maybe i need to upgrade and just go for the blu-tooth anti-grav fixie..

The LCD+digitizer+glass of the 1st gen iPhone comes as a single panel which costs probably more than a used handset, not factoring the cost of tedious replacement itself.
It only makes sense if your phone is in perfect shape, like my gf's was. Otherwise.. you can try to sell it for parts.

The 3G have the glass, digitizer and LCD as separate parts, this lowers the cost of fixing them. With 1st gen, you're screwed.
Your digitizer is fuxored, the tiny paths that transmit your touch are broken.

The same thing happened to my iPhone last month, but I never dropped it. I had to get a new iPhone from Apple.
*Another high quality product "Made in China", go figure.

Mine has a few gray streaks of LCD leaks after it fell on the floor from the bed. I never replaced the LCD because I could buy a phone for that money and the screen is still legible.
In my gf's case, hers was in like new condition, it was worth fixing. A Chinese guy in the UK who sold the part did the transplant as well. I found him on eBay.

Get it fixed, stop dropping it.

Handle things with a bit more care perhaps?
I can never get my head around people with really scratched up phones and laptops, what the fuck do they do to them for it to get so bad.

maybe the answer lies in the very first sentence.
