I'm sorry to hear about your smartphone. Some of our editors are on vacation right now.
I had a similar issue with an HP iPaq once, and unfortunately, in most cases, you will have to go through the vendor to have the unit repaired or replaced. HP actually did mine for free even though I bought the iPaq on eBay, but your experience may vary.
