iPhone Explodes after Unlocking Attempt
Now what appears to be the most serious case of iPhone unlock attempt-gone-awry has surfaced.
A picture posted to ImageShack tells the story:
The user whose iPhone exploded posted the following to the “Hackintosh” forums:
“We were so happy, all the software part was done, so we started opening the iphone. The antenna cover was a bit tricky but eventually it came off. Then we started to open the metal cover (after taking out the 3 screws) and PUFF, up it went in smoke, I think my collegue must have touched something. It literally went up in black smoke. I was so hot that when I tried to pick it up I burnt my fingers. So, this is for sure the most difficult part of the whole process. I don’t know what he did, as I had just stepped out of the room to fetch something when I heard a scream…they got such a fright.”
Unlock at your own risk.

Wow I hope nobody got injured...
But how can a phone just blow away? Please tell me, my life could depend on this information;-)

why would you open your phone to unlock it....i have unlocked many iphones, and have never had to take the phone apart. Good job.

That's funny. I can see this either being in the Onion OR the Darwin Awards.
