Any warranty on 3Gs?

I have bought iPhone 3gs from internet shop. Can you please tell me what is his repair history and real date of registered purchase. Serial is 87002EDX3NR. I recieved white 3GS 32Gb with Model MC133B in Menu-Settings. Touchscreen is not responding in G-H-V-B square and horisontal strip exactly on Wi-Fi On/Off button. Repair service tried to change Nipus controller - didn't help, just got worse. I want to know this phone's real repair/refirbish history to find the real problem and solution. I bought the phone as "new" on sale in March 2012. I might had been fooled

Hi Sharpeich, as you can see from the end of the serial number this should be a black 3GS, not a white one. That means it is most likely eithr a Frankenphone (assembled from parts of different phones) or the outside has been replaced in both case you cannot expect warranty or even out of warranty repair from Apple. This also explains why you experience the technical problems.
Also the serail number tells you it was produced in the 2nd calendar week of 2010. So it is probably not new either. You have most definitly been fooled.
If you want to confirm this, you might want to call Applecare.

  • I bought an iPhone 4 about 3 days ago at radio shack. But I didn't get any warranty on it and it seems to be restarting itself on its own. If I want a new one do I have to buy it or can I replace it?

    If you bought a new iPhone, it is covered under warranty.  There's nothing to get, it simply is covered.
    To check the warranty and support coverage, go here and enter the device serial number.

  • Does ipad2 have any warranty for the screen?

    Does ipad2 come with any warranty for the screen?

    No if it was dropped Apple will replace it for half the price of a new one. Which thats good but at the sametime you pay all this money for their product and they still charge you. They should at least exchange it for a new one the first time for free.. Accidents do happen!!! But its still good that they do replace for half the price.

  • Apple Care Warranty - Iphone 3Gs 16g discontinued

    My warranty is ending in a few weeks and I never used it yet.. my phone is actually getting tired, Home button not always working, weird sport in the screen, battery draining really fast..
    I just read that Apple Store don't have any Iphone 3gs 16gig anymore to sell at their stores.
    I was just wondering, if I get there to use my warranty and get a new Iphone, will they get me a refurbished 3gs 16g and a Iphone 4 ?
    In the AppleCare contract, do they have the right to replace my Iphone with a refurbished one ?
    Thanks

    A refurbished iPhone from apple is pretty much new. The glass will be new and the back casing will be new so it looks new. The serial number will be new & since the SIM card try has the serial number on it the SIM card tray will be new too.
    I've had three refurbished iPhones for warranty issues and they have all appeared to look new and have no issues out of the box or issues related to them being refurbished.

  • Out-of-warranty iphone 3gs

    Now that the iphone 5 is out and the 3gs is discontinued/no longer available, will Apple still provide "out-of-warranty" service on the 3gs?  They used to service your out-of-warranty 3gs for 150 dollars.

    As of now:
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5
    $229
    iPhone 4S
    $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. "

  • Buying iPad whilst on holiday in USA, any warranty/compatabilty problems?

    Hi,
    I'm holidaying in Florida next week and am contemplating buying an iPad whilst there. Are there any issues regarding warranty/compatability issues I should be aware of to use it back in the UK. I have recently bought an iPhone 4, can that power adaptor be used or do I need to purchase another adaptor?
    It would primarily be used on my home network so is it worth going for just the wifi version or the 3G one?
    I suspect some of these questions have been asked before, I have searched for similar questions but would like to be completely sure before purchasing one.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Whether you declare the iPad when entering the US or not has no relevance when returning to the UK. The fact that the iPad has a US power supply is easily solved by taking a UK iPhone power supply or buying a UK iPad one here and taking it with you. The iPad isn't going to say anything on the back about where it came from. The model number will be slightly different but customs aren't going to know that.
    I'm not pandering the OP to do anything least of all break the law. Not declaring an item in customs is not breaking the law and is certainly not a chargeable offence. It's also not smuggling. It's also not a question of getting one over customs but just a question of going through the green light and not declaring it. If they want to stop someone, question them and charge them customs duties then that's another matter. In any case paying 20% customs charges is ridiculous and VAT/taxes are far too high here to begin with. Like I said it is a common practice and loads of people do it every day when going through customs. Let the OP decide whether he wants to take that chance or not.

  • Out of warranty iPhone 3Gs replacement w/ hardware malfunction

    I recieved my second replacement iPhone 3Gs 32GB from Apple in December. My original iPhone was glitching and the first replacement wouldnt recognize the SIM because it didnt fit.
    Anyway, I was studying for a test this summer and the home button just stopepd functioning. I now have to press really heard and hope it works.
    I scheduled an appointment and was told my phone:
    -is a replacement from December
    -is out of 'warranty'
    -was opened by the Apple technician only to find 'nothing wrong' withthe home button
    He said to call headquaters and ask them for a special exception because it is definitely a hardware issue and I am too far out of the 'replacement warranty' for the Apple tech. to grant me an exception.
    I called 1-800-MYAPPLE only to be told by the computer that I cannot get phone support because I am out of 'warranty.' Go figure,
    Frustrated, I called my local apple store only to hear the person on the other end tell ME that they would liek to buy an Apple Macbook. I was then hung up on.
    I called another store and was told to come here, to the "chat" on the apple Support page.
    Someone, anyone...help.
    P.S. Why is that my original iPhone 3Gs warranty lasts an entire year, but a replacement doesn't? It was less than 6 months since I had recieved my replacement. I've been dealing with this for over a month!

    P.S. Why is that my original iPhone 3Gs warranty lasts an entire year, but a replacement doesn't? It was less than 6 months since I had recieved my replacement. I've been dealing with this for over a month!
    Basically because if you were dishonest, and that is not an accusation you could then turn it into an everlasting warranty!  Hope you take that in the manner it is meant!

  • 'Check Battery' at 73 cycles. Any warranty?

    My Macbook battery seems to have gone kaput and my Macbook will only work if I have my power adapter plugged in. It seems like my battery is at fault, since most of the threads I've read here say that if it does say 'check battery', that means it's dead and can't be fixed.
    So my question is, does Apple cover this or do I have to buy a new battery? I bought my Macbook about 2 years ago pretty much new from someone who never opened theirs. Not sure what kind of warranty is on this though.

    Hi Stikygum,
    There's no right or wrong cycle count after a specific period of time. Apple's expectation is that at 300 cycles the battery should still be 80% of it's original full charge capacity. My understand (and this is rough estimation) is this is how Apple gets to that number:
    300 cycles over 3 years (300/3) = 100 cycles per year
    100 cycles per year over 12 months (100/12) = 8.333 cycles per month
    ~ 2 cycles per week
    Again this is average, some users might be significantly greater than this (1 per day) or significantly less than this (1 per month). The important thing is that at least once a month you're cycling the battery. Some rough math would indicate you were putting a cycle on the battery about once every 7 to 11 days (give or take).
    Apple's warranty (one-year) and AppleCare (three-year) only cover the battery if it's defective. But as you're past the one year and don't have AppleCare, regardless of whether or not the battery is defective (or depleted) you're outside of coverage. That's what I meant say.
    It's very possible that you've got a defective battery but unfortunately without AppleCare (something that Apple offers you a 365 day window to purchase after you get the machine), you're not eligible for a free replacement.

  • Hi I buy a iPad screen broken have any warranty

    Hi

    Accidental damage (which is what a broken screen is) is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If you bought apple care plus, then it is covered for a fee.
    If you do not have apple care plus, then the fee to replace a device with a broken screen starts at 219 for the mini and goes up depending on the model.
