The spike is just where the test head blew apart because of the magnetic flux density. That's a feature, not a bug.

Just with my mind's eye. You know, for later.

Took my slightly-cracked iPhone 3GS to the Apple store today and it was cheerfully replaced with a new one by a hot girl genius. Twofer!
