He opens it tightens it, and all seems well.  Happens again.  she comes back.  He gives her a NEW iPhone 4 by placing it on the counter with the screen unlocked and the screen glitches out when she touches it to pick it up.We suspect she's also fried her umpteen prior BlackBerries and the computer in her fridge that weak.  Plus, she's likely the cause of the terrible cell reception at her house.  We once called and texted her that we were on our way to her house.  An hour after we'd been visiting, her phone finally gets the voice mail and text.I had an old RCA 20" color from 1988.  I used that that thing until 2008 or so when i replaced it with another HDTV.  It worked great.Some stuff lasts forever, some stuff don't.Back when I fixed computers, folks would ask me which brand was better.  Truth was, when they work, they're all fine.  And since I'd seen al makes, they also all break.  It's just luck of the draw a lot of the time.**While apple has a good rep for hardware, they do stupid stuff, too.  Like putting the speaker next to the harddrive, causing crashes in one model.</blockquote>
