When I worked in cell phone repair, someone brought in a cell phone in similar condition and asked a similar question, all while seeming quite sincere.
At least they were honest; they explained it had fallen out of their pocket while mowing and gotten entangled in the mower blades. Not sure how they expected us to affect repairs, though. We declined as politely as we could and directed them to where they could buy a replacement.
A lot of folks think that tech people are wizards, and maybe there was a chance. Source: I work in IT.
