IPad 1st Generation & iPhone 3G screen repair?

Have an appointment with an Apple Genius (booked online) to take a look at my 1st generation iPad as I think the LCD is messed up; it's only half the screen which is annoying. It's been dropped many times over the past 3 or so years but until now, no long lasting damage. I'm aware is a pretty old model and Apple don't do repairs; just wondered how much they would expect me to pay for a 'reconditioned' one - it's 32GB Wi-Fi 3G.

Also my old 3G (I have a 4S now) is playing up, screen gets all pixelated every now and then, again, it's a pretty ancient ike the iPad, glass has been repaired twice (not by Apple) - just not sure whether it's worth me bothering to get them to have a look. I live in the UK. I know they charged me £90 to replace my son's iPod Touch (3rd gen) which wasn't much less than what I paid for it so I'm actually dreading what the cost will be! Just wondered if anyone had any experience of how Apple deal with older models.

Cracked iPhone won't turn on?

I dropped my iPhone in May, i want to say, and the screen shattered but everything was still intact and the screen worked fine. I was using it until July 4th when i got home from watching fireworks and it wouldn't turn on. I took it in to the at&t store the next day to change over my SIM card to my old phone while i figured out how i would fix the iPhone and while i was standing there, i tried turning on my iPhone and it turned on fine but the guy had already changed the SIM over. Just today it was working fine (the screen is still cracked so i just use it for internet for now) and i put it down for a second and it wouldn't turn on again. The only thing i'm really worried about is my pictures, but is this just because of the screen? Will it turn on fine when i replace the screen?

IPhone disabled and has to reboot can I restore pictures and videos?

I typed the wrong password to unlock my iPhone one too many times and it was disabled until I had to connect it to iTunes and reboot the iPhone… I rebooted the iPhone and lost all my data… Is there any way I can find the pictures and videos I had on my phone before I had to reboot it?

All the tech support jobs I get involve doing something illegal?

I recently put a listing on craigslist offering tech service. I do installations, setup, computer programming, virus removal, repair, and iphone/android/router flashing, unlocking, blah blah blah. I'm familiar with Linux, Windows, and Mac and am can build basic electronic devices. During the last few days I've gotten calls to build/locate a cellphone jammer (illegal in the US for decades as it impedes people's ability to call for help, frequency blocking in the US is illegal on any spectrum/device), do carrier unlocks without asking the carrier, and install tracking software on other people's phones?

Is Order and Chaos Online a good game?

I'm currently downloading it to my iPhone and I wonder, is it as good as World of Warcraft? I never played WoW but I hear tha this game is a lot like WoW. How many people are playing it and what's your opinion on it?

Alternatives to Apple iPhone 4 battery?

After nearly 3 years, my iPhone battery has started to show it's age. I consulted a few sources, including answers here, bought a kit on Ebay (same kit is being sold everywhere for as low as $6.99), replaced the battery (10 minutes at most), and it dies even faster than my old original one… I called Apple, they offered to install a new Apple battery for only $80 (!), which seems to be a waste for a 3 year-old phone. They said it would last much longer than the after-market c… P. So before I go and get a new phone and contract - are there any alternatives?

What's wrong with my laptop? - 1

So this morning I was using my laptop as usual and it froze up and was being unresponsive so I shut it off. When I turned it back on, everything was fine but it wouldn't connect to my home Wi-Fi. I check my settings and it didn't even recognize my wireless. I've tried restating my computer but nothing will work. I know its not my wireless because my iPhone is connected to it and my sisters iPod is connected. I've tried everything I can but nothing is working.
