What a day!
Went to the LG service center today to get the screen cleaned
The service desk was helpful and the staff seemed polite. No complaints there. But the technicians room adjoining the help desk was open and I could see the interiors. No dustfree room, but seemed clean enough. I was a little skeptical. There was a considerable rush at the center.
Anyway I submitted my phone, no need to fill any forms...the lady at the desk inserted my details on the PC and I had to only sign. She told me I would get my phone within an hour, and asked if I wanted a temporary handset. I took it
Some LG handset with cam,mp3,fm,etc. Good quality for a temporary piece.
I left the centre and roamed around, had lunch and came back in 40 min. I went back and the technician had just started with my phone. I could see him opening the phone. He put a protective sticker on the bottom of the screen so that the problem wouldnt re-occur and that guy came to show me the screen.
I immediately noticed a crack on my screen!!! That SOB cracked my O1!!!
I lost my cool and pointed it out to him. He realised his mistake immediately. Must have cracked it while opening the screen panel. He apologised and said he'd replace the screen.
So I got a new touchscreen panel and new front panel cover too
FOR FREE!!! HAHA
I checked their receipt, on which I had to sign. The touchscreen was for Rs.765 and the front panel was Rs.150
So basically I got Rs.915 worth of new parts for free! And the screen feels more responsive now. Or maybe its just placebo
Now Im in process of rooting and flashing my backup again
Flashing backup was such a breeze! Done in 20 mins! Run z4root,install rom manager, install cwm, copy backup to sd, restore!! voila! Back to previous state. Show me an iphone that does that
