A program to crash it completely

**Sonin66** · #1 (**permalink**) 06-26-2006, 02:54 AM

Does anyone know of a program that will completely crash my ppc so that it wont work. long story short, my girl's cousin dropped my perfect phone onto concrete and it has big dents near the the camera button. I want to crash it so I can walk into sprint and get a brand new phone. Any help? i have all insurances and dont really want a refurb. thanks

well as far as the sprint store giving u a replacement, that's depends on the rep I guess. cac9478 had a rep I've him a new one, but u never know. There is only one way to completely kill ur ppc, and sadly u have to run ur own exchange server. You don't have a exchage server at home ehh?

If you have ESRP and you just break your phone in half they should replace it right then and there with a new phone. They did with mine but I do not know if your store has any refurbs in stock in which case they will give you a refurb. My store only had new ones so thats what they gave me.

lol this is crazy, but what do you think the best way to mess up this phone without any trouble from a sprint rep. I'm trying to do this before my trip on friday, and probably will do it tomorrow. also would i have to pay for anything if i went to the sprint store and asked for a replacement?

I didnt have to pay for anything. I walked in there and told the guy I dropped the phone and the screen broke and he handed me a new phone. Now I would recommend doing something you can recover. I dont know of any but when I did it, it worked. So good luck.

If you accidently drop it and ran over it by a car, I think they will replace it.

I dont know of any software, but 10 seconds in the microwave should do the trick. I did this with a samsung I had a few years ago. They were unable to detect the cause of the failure, and I got a new phone under warranty.

As long as you have the 6 dolllars equipment "REPLACEMENT" on your plan it does not matter what happens to your phone. It can be lost, stolen, chewed by your dog, fallen on the toilet, used it as a weapon..... Insurance is insurace, not to be confused with "warranty" which is covered by the manufacturer. As with any insurance, there will be a small deductible.

good luck , and let us know how ur replacement experience went
