Touch Screen and Power Button stopped working

[kaptain86]

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking around here on the forums for a little bit, done a few mods (htc homeplugin and customizer, few registry tweaks) and the past week my touch screen and power button stopped working. I took it into my sprint store and they said to send it in to the manufacturer to have it fixed. Problem is, they didn't give me any name or website to visit. I looked in the manual for the phone and found UTStarcom Personal Communications in the back with an address to send the phone in. I was trying to locate a website to email them about the phone to try and get in touch with a rep but haven't found anything.

Has anyone sent their phone in to get repaired? The sprint store said it would cost $55 for me to have the phone replaced since I did not take insurance out on the phone, would I be better off just replacing the phone and swapping over all my stuff or sending it in to get replaced?

Thanks.
