iPhone5 recently took a massive shit and just shut off, and puked and died on me
...
Bought new from Apple, out of warranty, never jailbroken, dropped, or pissed on...
I can't get it into DFU mode, and it just keeps looping on the bootup logo...
Random shady PacMall shop says $120 to replace motherboard...
Bringing into Apple Store will yield a replacement, which means my data is absolutely gone...
