12" battery replacment program--battery never arrived
Does anyone know how I can contact apple's battery replacement program to let them know my replacement battery never arrived? I am overseas and cannot use the 800 contact numbers.
Thank you

Go to the main Apple site, and use the drop down menu at the bottom of the page to change the country to the one you are currently residing in. Then click "Contact Us" and you should find a number to call.
Out of curiosity, how long did you wait? It took mine forever to reach me-maybe a month and a half.

Does anyone know if I can request a new service request or anything?
I've tried this but it says there has already been a request filed. Also, I can't find any way to contact support for this issue.

I was relieved and not at all surprised to find out that Apple was recalling certain iPhone 5s for battery replacement. I was sure mine was one affected. (My battery doesn't last more than 4-5 hours after a full charge at normal use.)
Having entered my serial number on this page: https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/ I was told that my phone wasn't eligible.
I sincerely think my phone has a defective battery and that the range of serial numbers should be broadened beyond what Apple calls a "very small percentage of iPhone 5 devices."
Anyone know how I can get Apple to help here?I have the same problem with a iPhone 5c which was purchased last fall (2013) after the Replacement Program time frame. It drains with minimal use.
We have several iPhone4's, 2-3 years old, which have never had this issue.
From reading all of these responses/questions, Apple really needs to address this issue for all 5's. This is a big problem, when the phone is completely unreliable. -
Apple iPod Battery Replacement Program Experiences.
Hello, as you all know apple offers the battery replacement program for 99 dollars (now sixty something dollars). For any of you that have tried it, can you please tell us all a little about how was your experience? did you get a better ipod or a worse one? a refurbished, used or new? scratched or perfect?
please leave a comment on how your experience was with Apple's battery replacement program even if it is a very small one.I just received my refurbished iPod back yesterday. It looked like new! The engraving was on the back, just like the unit I sent in.
However, the reason I am on the forums today is that when I plugged it in to charge the new battery before synching, I received the familiar "battery with exclamation point" screen. So now I seem to have a clean, new or refurbished unit with the same old problem. Frustrating to say the least. -
Details:
5 year old 2nd Gen Ipod nano only works for an hour the most. Battery may be approaching end of life.
Can this still be replaced? if not, what are my options? Does apple have a replacement program?Just would like to share with you, my experience with a friend's Nano with a smiliar problem
The battery level could be too low to boot up the OS of the iPod, which even may corrupted (if you see a folder icon).
The best way to fix it, is to connect it with different device other than your PC as it is likely not get charge at all, e.g.
1. car charger
2. ac charger
3. ipod speaker dock system
4. using firewire cable
5. with a Mac computer
The key is to charge the battery level up to the minimum for you to put your Nano into disk mode
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
once you see the "tick" mark, connect it with a computer, and try to do a Restore for your iPod. In case you still do not manage to get your iPod to be recognized by a PC, I am afraid you have to connect it with a Mac, very likely it will allow you to do a Restore as I did last night -

Dell Windows XPYour warranty on the iPod has expired, so this is what Apple say.
"My iPod warranty has expired. What are my service options?
Apple offers two service options for iPods that are no longer within warranty. If your iPod, iPod with color display, U2 iPod, or iPod mini requires service only because the battery’s ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, Apple will replace your iPod for a service fee of $59, plus $6.95 shipping.
If you own an iPod, and it requires service for any other issue, Apple will replace your iPod for the service fee listed below, plus $6.95 shipping and handling.
iPod $249
iPod Nano & iPod Mini $189
iPod shuffle (1 GB) $89
iPod shuffle (512 MB) $59"
If it's just a battery replacement you require, there are cheaper options if you Google 'iPod mini batteries'. -
My iphone 5 is eligible for battery replacement program but I have bought it from a mobile operator in Thailand (my place) since Dec 2012.

The Nokia BL-5C battery replacement program
I have a BL-5C battery with heating problem.
So, I go the official pages:
http://batteryreplacement.nokia.com/batteryreplacement/en/
As the number of requests for battery replacements has declined, the replacement program
will from now on be handled by the Nokia Care.
I followed the website steps.
The pages turn out:
Your battery is among those manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November
2006 and your battery may be replaced. Please call the Nokia Call Center nearest you to get
the replacement battery.
So, I contect Nokia(Macau SAR).
They said the program have been stoped, can't give me any help.
here is a question.
Is the program really turned down?
If it already turned down, what about the begin page?
(the replacement program will from now on be handled by the Nokia Care. )
anyone help? pls?
Message Edited by qooboy on 26-Nov-2008 08:44 AMI would advise you to contact the Nokia Store in Macau directly:
Chinese: http://www.nokia.com.hk/A4697334
Eng: http://www.nokia.com.hk/A4701001
They should be able to replace your battery.

Out-of-warranty Battery Replacement Program
I have an old Firewire iPod and would like to replace it's battery.
A friend of mine said that really old iPods do not apply for the Out-of-warranty Battery Replacement Program because Apple doesn't replace the battery, but gives a new or a refurbished iPod.
This page ( http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/battery/ ) don't say anything about iPod generation and I also heard that old iPods are replaced by new generation iPods.
I like my Firewire iPod, but i would like to know what really happens in this program, coz i only would replace it for the video or nano ipod. Not any other iPod generation between these and the one i have would please me.I'm in Brazil and i'm going to the US in two weeks. I would like to know that to decide if i take my ipod to do this battery replacement or not.
Apple Brazil didn't give me any information about the Battery Replacement Program. It's only avaliable in a few countries.
