I'd rather pay $20 for pickup rings that work than try to guess on Kramer Ebay ones. Thanks for the link! I think I might just have to pick these up today

Let me know if you want me to point you to where I got the parts.

I might wind up taking you up on this,...suffice it to say that my phone is a month old and I haven't had any problems with it.

I intended to get AppleCare on my 4Gs but spaced it and missed out on the billing cycle,....

Although I do have a buddy that works for Apple and might be able to finagle it for me.

$20 for a pickup ring though...
Which reminds me -- pickguard prices are RIDICULOUS.

tell me about it. i was astonished at what a Fender Jazz Bass pickguard cost, IIRC over $40. i wound up buying an Allparts guard that was something like half as expensive and whose tortoiseshell pattern i liked better.

sorry Chiefies, i space out during pup and pup guard talk (NOT a reflection on the quality contained therin, i'm just an uneducated idjit about How The Basses Work so it's lost on me) so just saw this.

how much did the screen end up costing? i wouldn't mind staying around a hundy to fix it, 'cause i'd planned on using this fone as an at work or practice vid recording/ipod thing whenever i upgrade.

thanks!

Much, much less than a hundy. This is the exact same auction I bought it from:

There are a couple youtube videos I watched that step you through it, and that was enough for me to get it right. I'll try to find you the same youtube vids I watched.

Here's the best vid I used. There was one other one that I watched just to double check the process and make sure they do all the same things (they do). The only comment I have in addition to this video is that if you use a hair dryer to melt the glue, it takes longer than the 5-6 minutes he quotes. I couldn't get the glass to budge until I hit the 10-12 minute range. And prying all the leftover broken shards of glass is honestly what took most of the time. At least half of the hour I spent doing this was spent prying the glass off.
