iPhone 2G: Touch screen for functioning on bottom portion

My iphone 2G fell down & after that the bottom portion of the screeen is NOT touch sensitive. While in dile pad, i can make call, dial nos, etc but cannot goto contacts & all list on the one last row.

I gave the phone for repair to an apple reseller at first they asked me to replace the screen which costs $200. Later they told its a hardware error (26) something related to motherboard.

Home button, call, safari, ipod etc is working. In ipod everything is perfect. In call & safari, the bottom portion (last 1 row) is not responding to touch.

For the past one week its with the reseller and couldnt fix it. Could you guys plz help!!!

iphone 2G, Windows 7 / XP

Error 26 is a hardware failure. Apple does not "fix" iphones(except for screen replacement & battery replacement). If your phone is under warranty & Apple determines the failure is covered by said warranty, it will be replaced. If your phone is not under warranty, you will have to find a third party repair facility. Note: warranty & service for iphones is only provided in the country the phone was originally purchased in from an official supplier.
