It really depends on who you get at the Genius bar. Took our 3Gs to Market Mall cause the touchscreen wouldn't respond. All they did was reset to factory default and then said I could get a replacement for $179. Made a reservation right afterwards for Chinook for a 2nd opinion and the guy I got there took the phone apart and reconnected the screen and voila it was good to go. Said that both screws were broken though and it would cost $109 to replace the screen but I figure the phone should last long enough for an upgrade in a few months.
Not all genius's are alike so it really doesn't hurt to keep trying.
