Re: Replacing - Fraud?
Microwaving or breaking the screen is insurance fraud. While your chances of getting in trouble are slim, your benefit is also slim. Remember that you are risking jail time or a lawsuit (as highly unlikely as it may be) for what? $50 more on the sale of your phone? People will buy it either way, you're not going to get that much more for a refurb unit. Not to mention - what is your time worth? It will take you an hour or two to get it replaced including taking it to the store or mailing it in, also gas/etc - you could spend that time working... What is your net benefit now? $10? If it is having problems take it in and get it fixed, but don't break it...
Committing insurance fraud for a $10 net benefit is hardly worth it (and it IS insurance fraud even if you don't get in trouble for it)...
Getting legitimate issues fixed on the other hand before you sell it is a whole different story, and I do think you should do that if you think it is worth your time.
