My phone did get unlocked properly though. After the reboot the computer cannot detect the dedicated graphics card (ATI 4350) and i boots to the onboard graphics card.
I will try to swap this card into another desktop and see if it works there.
Not sure why this would cause that or how it is even related. I thought it would be unrelated until i saw an earlier post about a macbook graphics issue.
I am not too worried about my card but this might be critical for some on a laptop.

And after several reboots and CMOS reset the motherboard does not detect the pci-e graphics card and behaves as if one is not there.
I will try to install another PCI-E graphics card in this desktop later today to confirm that the it works. Also, i will try to use the broken graphics card in another computer.
I am not sure how the unlocker could cause this, since it is really only looking at the usb device.

It was Windows 7 32 bit and native OS (not virtual)

I clearly informed them that I wasn't using any form of a virtual machine in my original message to him, I did send another reply back with no response.
They clearly don't see any issue because it is 'impossible.'
However I do hope that with more than one person with an issue graphics card related they will look into it.
