How do I know if I've permanently damaged my phone?

A while ago My phone fell out my top pocket and the back and front smashed and the screen went black but I could still hear notifications coming through I got fixed and a couple month later I dropped it again the screen didn't smash but it ha lines across the screen and then it would turn to a weird effect and then go black, I had it redone on Sunday and yesterday it started being funny looking like It had a heatwave inside and then puts that weird effect on and when I press the screen it clicks, I haven't dropped it this time tho I've had a case on it! is it just poorly fixed or have I damaged it inside? And can I get it fixed or what??

Please help!

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.4

Apple won't touch it. Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone.


When you had the display replaced, you forfeited all rights to have it serviced by Apple. It's no longer an iPhone.


Apple does not sell parts. The only parts whoever fixed it could have used had to fit into one of three possible categories for where they came from:


Salvaged from broken/damaged phones.

Counterfeit.

Stolen.

Hi,

Recently my iPhone 4 went blank..couldnt on. Brought it to a phone shop and he on it back for me but my photos in my library were not there. But there were some memories in my icloud. Again my phone went blank. Another shop said that it was due to overcharging that has caused it to short. In this case can I retrieve my photos from the icloud website using my Apple ID?? My baby's photos are there... Need help... 😟
