Unhappy Overheating Issue..

so... i nicely bougth a charger for the iphone from XtremeMac... tried it.. and worked... then came back inside my house.. and started to be dumb.. as soon as i dock it..on the PC or wall charger it dropped the signal.
But it was still recognized by Itunes and ibrick and all that....
So i just took the SIM out... Tmobile by the way... restarted it,... and it was just fine.
so i left for work... put the SIm back in.. and worked fine... althoug it drain 25% of the battery like in 20mints... in 1hr it was 5% left only.. !!! so i plug it on the wall charger... same drop signal... left it charging like 5hrs... came back to get it and got off work.
it said 5%!!! so i worry... but i still could do the hard Reset (hold home and lock buttons) then in came back on with FULLY battery... !! so i thoug well that was weird...
Then i got home.. still the same issue with docking and lossing the signal.
but i needed to sync it to grab some podcasts...
So i did, it work fine....left it on the wall charger, without sim.

All look to be working ... ipod.. browser.. on Wifi.. phone everything..

BUT when i woke up in the morning.... it was EXTREMELY HOT!!! i woke up at 430am.. so i just grab it.. but on my way to work i noticed that it was OFF!!!!... tried to turn it on,.. nothing........ not even the red bar of low battery.. dont charge at all.. on PC or wall charger... THIS i say it cuz.. it doesnt feel any heat when its pluged...

I have a reservation tomorrow for the genious bar... but well the phone its hacked....... but its just doesnt charge.. so ... its prolly fried.
I expect they ask me for shit.. but i bougth this phone off the craigslist.. dont know who bougth it,... should i get irritating???

Anyone has gone thru this.. im not a MAC savy never bougth anything to them...

By the way the phone its.. unlocked.. 1.0.2 firmware...
issue... stupid car charger fried it.. phone overheat and dont turn on anymore...

He's got a point. You better find a way to lock it and then take it there. I feel you will not get any support if it is unlocked. Legally, nothing prevents you from unlocking a phone. Also legally, they can refuse service and warranty to you if it is unlocked.

Good luck
