Funny. The problem with my old iPhone was a broken internal switch. The phone would turn on and off, but nothing could be accessed. According t the good folks at the Apple store the diagnostic code was a bad internal switch, or something like that. It cold not be repaired. Perhaps I should have sent nospam to argue with them.

the phone may not have been usable as a phone, but the *data* on it was not lost. it's still there.

The data may have been there, but it could not be accessed. It would not sync with any computer. It could not be read by any computer. Not even at the Apple store.

your story keeps changing.

it won't sync with anything other than the computer to which it was first synced. once again, you don't know what you're talking about.

however, the data was there.

not only that, but a 'broken internal switch' isn't going to cause a sync failure.

the switches do *not* matter.

the apple store staff wanted to fix the phone so you could use it as a phone. that's to be expected.

The folks in th Apple store disagree with you.

nospam
no. their job is to fix stuff, not recover them.
