I don't expect anyone to believe me anyways. Since you wish for my elaboration: I went down to their service centre opposite PSA Building. If I remember correctly, although he looks local he spoke with a non-local/incoherent accent that I have to ask him repeat his sentences slowly and coherently, wearing spectacles, short hair, wore their black staff tee? I didn't get his name and I don't remember seeing a staff tag on him. Upon showing him the condition my of phone, he brought it into the open room behind him (I assume there's a senior staff inside or something which validates my phone for the warranty, I brought my SingTel receipt in case you're wondering, if you want I can print screen the online registration at LG website), then he comes out, punches/taps the calculator showing me the >2k figure amount. Of course I'm unsatisfied, so I asked him to return my phone to me (I had to repeat myself twice, hate doing that). Since they have a coffee machine too, I helped myself with one cup before leaving.
Hope this is elaborate enough,
somehow i do not believe you. can elaborate who told you it is 2K to repair?
