Hey guys. I need your urgent help!! A week ago my iphone 4's button stopped working...The phone was fine and i tried to press it a couple of times ( quite hard) and yesterday the phone just crashed and, no matter what i do ( button pressed, charger plugged) it won't open so i am assuming that, by pressing the button like an ***** that i am, i damaged the motherboard.....( yay for stupidity!) What i am needing help with, are the contacts...Basically, Apple never thought of implementing a save contacts on SIM thingie and now ( i don't even know if i backed up my phone since the last contacts...again, STUPID) i have no contacts....So...what can i do? I can't afford a new iphone and if i change the motherboard, all will be lost as i might not have backed up ....So pls guys is there a solution to this? Can a service fix it so i can back it up at least? I so wanted to back it up but i don't know why the heck i did not do it ......
