hardware service?
Righto - depressing news.

Dropped the iPhone at last. Tiny ding in the metal case (gen 1). No biggie except it's up against the power button which means when I next hit the button it got stuck down.

Is there anywhere in Australia that services these things? Fairly sure Apple wouldn't...

All I need to do is pry it open, take the back off and un-ding the ding...

I've found a few video and screen shot tutorials that talk about replacing the battery, but I just can't get the black plastic antenna cover off...

Any hints?

Thanks.
