It happens sometimes if it "thinks" that there was a new part that was installed but where there wasn't a proper system reset. I've heard of this happening when salvage parts were installed from another iPhone, where Apple obviously won't help out with the reset.]


With an original part where it's just gone haywire, you should be able to have it reset, regardless of whether or not it's still in warranty.
