LoL...
it worked great for me... I wanted to be sure there was no way for them to tell...
by the way for those who do use this method to kill their phone for return,,
when you hook it up to the battery or power supply to kill the usb connection,, make sure you only tap the wires real quick,, do not touch them together for more than just a quick tap.. listen for a pop to come from the phone,, this is the diode popping,,if you dont hear it,, try switching wires... the reason you only want to tap,, is if you touch them too long,, you can overheat/burn the etching on the mainboard and this will deffinitely throw up a red flag...
after your done with this before you put it in the microwave make sure and plug in your phone to your charger and see if the light doesnt come on,, this will ensure you killed the connection path..
now brick away,,, lol
