G'day guys... Quick question, my missus dropped and smashed her iPhone 4 32gb (again...
 ) Last time it was just a replacement LCD & Digitlizer combo, replaced it myself rather easy. This time round it is smashed both the front and back glass, and also has a hardware failure the LED back-lights light up but no picture on the screen, and doesn't respond to any swiping when it gets calls, or to unlock the keypad. Now its going thru insurance (House & contents, accidental damage) this time round (as going by my googling it needs a new logic board, or logic board repaired)... Last time when I done it I lost a couple of small screws and brackets from it... Is it worth buying in new ones and putting back in before it goes thru insurance or not really, as its not a warranty job so it shouldn't really matter a great deal I would assume.

are you sure it's included in the policy?
I thought most policies did not cover phones maybe you have a premium policy that does though??? |

fair play, I thought most accidental damage cover excluded phones, hence the exorbitant price people pay to Telcos for phone insurance
if you have the insurance I would use it, you would be paying a premium for an extensive policy. I reckon you're short changing yourself if you don't use it |

If it's just the screens that have failed, go into your local shopping center and look around for iPhone repair places. I got both my front and back screens replaced for $90 a few weeks ago, and it's just as good as new.
