Yes, they can and honestly they probably will. Even if they don't, I am assuming you have TEP, they will attribute the problems to physical damage which was caused by you. You can always try, you may prove me wrong, but I don't think you will. I know it's not what you wanted to hear. I am thinking you are looking at $100 to replace through insurance if you really want it replaced. In that case there is some nice phones out and even more coming, I would put my $100 towards one of those. Just my .02
