Anyone ever have lcd screen replaced under warranty?

We've had our ipod for less than 1 month and the lcd screen is now showing garbage although the exterior of the screen and surrounding case does not show any damage at all. We don't know what happened to it. My son carries it in a case in his pockets but has not dropped it or damaged it in any way. Has anyone else had this problem and have you been successful in getting Apple to replace the screen under the initial warranty?

They might replace it.
You have a much bette rchance if there is no damage on teh outside (such as a dent where it might look like you dropped/smashed it).
I suggest you take it to an Apple store if there's one close by. Be assertive (not rude) and don't take "no" for an answer.
You could send it back but if you talk directly with someone, you'll have a better chance.

  • Cracked screen replacement under warranty?

    I've read that several folks have had their ipod touch (4gen) screen replaced at the Apple Store. Is this common? Is it hit or miss? Is there something I should know before heading into the store? 

    planb77, I wonder why you brought up AppleCare. It as esentually the same exclusion as the 1-year warranty. Specivically, it excludes:
    (ii) Damage to the Covered Equipment caused by accident, abuse, neglect, misuse (including faulty
    installation, repair, or maintenance by anyone other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service
    Provider), unauthorized modification, extreme environment (including extreme temperature or
    humidity), extreme physical or electrical stress or interference, fluctuation or surges of electrical
    power, lightning, static electricity, fire, acts of God or other external causes;

  • HT201328 If my carrier unlocked my iPhone and it needs to be replaced under warranty. Do apple sends an unlocked phone.

    If my carrier unlocked my iPhone and it needs to be replaced under warranty. Do apple sends an unlocked phone. Or I have to get it unlocked again from carrier.

    Once Carrier unlocks any iPhone, this is entered in to Apples data base. Therefore, as replacement under warranty you get unlocked iPhone.

    I'll let you in on a bit of a secret.  Apple retail staff (Specialists, Geniui and Floor Mangers) have a great deal of leeway when it comes to customer appeasement.  When rapport breaks down, the customer is less likely to enjoy that leeway.  Chances are, no matter who made the intial call, it will be reinforced regardless of how high it goes up the supervisory chain.
    The item you went in for retails for $19.  They probably misplace four or five of them each day.  If they sent you home without one, there was likely a good reason for that.

  • IPhone 5 replacement under warranty.

    My iPhone 5 IMEI no says it is purchased from USA whereas I had bought it in Hong Kong. It's still under warranty. The Sleep/wake button is not working and I would like to know whether can I get a replacement under warranty at an Apple store in Singapore? I reside in India and there are no Apple Stores located here. Nearest to me is Singapore. Kindly help.

    The iPhone or any Apple product is something I would strongly suggest only buying from Apple or an Apple authorised reseller (all of which can be found by looking them up by country/region on the Apple web site).  This forum has many similar stories of someone hoping to get a bargain or beat the crush of a new release, only to be left with nothing but an empty wallet.  Sorry it happened, but buyer beware I'd say.

  • IMac LCD screen replaced, Blue Screen startup

    Hi there, I just had the LCD screen replaced on my late 2007 Aluminum iMac today (due to a permanent red vertical streak) by an Applecare certified technician. He did a meticulous job with the replacement, and the iMac booted up just fine afterwards. About an hour later, though, I tried starting up the iMac and after the grey screen with the Apple logo it gets stuck on a blue screen with a constantly spinning pinwheel.
    Now I tried everything, booting up in Safe Mode, Single User Mode, resetting the PRAM, FSCK, Disk Utility using Disk Repair, unplugging the power cord for 30 seconds, etc. and nothing seems to work. It just gets stuck on a blue screen whenever it tries to boot up.
    Just wanted to see if there is anything else I could try out before I give Apple a call tomorrow, if this boot up problem is a result of the new LCD screen replacement or what? Any help or insight in the matter would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
    Update: I should note that right now I'm in the (lengthy) process of restoring from a Time Machine save to see if that helps out in any way.

    You could try the following first, but a repair may be required.
    iMac G5: Fails to startup (From an article at MacFixit)
    Some users are reporting an issue where iMac G5s fail to properly startup -- apparently at a hardware level -- never reaching the Mac OS X startup splash screen (Apple logo with a spinning progress indicator).
    Note that in cases where the system does reach the Mac OS X startup splash screen or further progression but stalls, software issues may be to blame.
    Potential fixes
    Disconnect external devices External devices -- especially those that draw power from the system -- can cause issues with startup that manifest either at the beginning of or later in the boot process. Try temporarily any external FireWire or USB devices then re-attempt startup and check for persistence of the issue.
    Reset SMU Although this workaround was not successful in Connors' case, resetting the iMac G5's SMU (system management unit) as described in Apple Knowledge Base article #301733 can resolve a variety of power-related problems, including sudden-onset startup failure.
    Check power cables Check your power cord for a loose connection. As noted in the aforementioned reader case, unplugging and re-plugging the power cord can sometimes result in a successful startup -- likely the result of a more snug fit.
    Also, power cables can become defective or ship in such a state.
    Try exchanging the power cable from a problematic machine with a system that starts up properly to eliminate this as a potential cause.

  • X220 IPS replace under warranty--why is it so difficult?

    Hello all,
    I have an X220 that is still under warranty with the IPS panel. Recently, my screen started suffering from the "vertical bands" that seem to be semi-common on this model. I have removed the panel and reseated the cables and still has not corrected the issue. From what I understand, this is a problem with the panel itself.
    Now, I've tried to submit a warranty request to learn that IBM still apparently handles these. That form was maddening. I have not received any email correspondence on the issue, but suddenly today an empty box showed up my house and apparently they want me to send the whole laptop back. I do NOT want to do that, I just need a replacement screen. Can anyone help me with the right way to process this request? It's very frustrating. Thanks

    You can very well send the machine in with no hard drive.
    Supervisor/BIOS passwords, however, should be removed altogether or provided, otherwise no one will be able to work on your machine.
    Cheers,

  • How to get a macbook pro replacement under warranty?

    I bought my Macbook pro 6 months ago, and it's still under warranty right now. I used some laptops of SONY VAIO & Microsoft before, and I did not experience any problems with them in the first 2 years. This year, I decided to give Macbook pro a try because I have heard many compliments about this laptop from my friends and advertisements. When I opened the box and used it in the 1st time, I noticed that the button CAPS LOCK wasn't good, and I had to press it 2-3 times to make it work. It has happened for 6 months, until now. I felt a little bit disappointed, but I still use it because I am an easy customer. But recently, whenever I turn on the SLEEP MODE for my laptop and work with my laptop later on, my laptop often experiences the PAUSE or freezing. I don't know how to describe it, but there is a round circle with rainbow colors appear on the screen and pause everything/programs is running. My laptop has never been felt out or scratch. It's just 6 months since the day I purchased the laptop. I should not experience this trouble with my laptop because I think the Macpro is better than the SONY VAIO or other laptops. I feel like I was sold a refurbished Mac, and I am really disappointed. My friend told me to bring my Mac to be fixed in Apple store, but I don't want to continue using a fixed, refurbished Mac. Can I get a replacement? If I bought it in Bestbuy, could I got replacement in Apple Store or Bestbuy store?

    Can I get a replacement?
    No - see below

    You are still under warranty.  Call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty. 
    #1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
    #2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
    #3 - You have the standard one year Apple warranty.
    #4 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years.   You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

  • How do I get an invoice re-sent from a Genius Bar for a handset replaced under warranty?

    I took my iPhone 5 into a Genius Bar for a speaker issue. I was immediately emailed an invoice for the repair under warranty and told to come back in an hour. After an hour, they decided to replace the handset completely under warranty, but I don't have an email invoice relating to this replacement. The new handset needs to now be repaired under my carrier insurance, but they need to see an invoice from apple with the new handset's IMEI written on it.
    Since I live a few hours away from a Genius Bar I really don't want to go in person just to ask for an invoice to be sent. Is there another way?
    I have looked on my account at the online apple store and it's not there.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction? It was just over 6 months ago in the Carindale store in QLD.
    Thanks!
    Jo

    You will need to call or visit the Apple Store and ask if they can resend the invoice. They're the only ones who can help you.
    Regards.

  • T400 LCD Screen Replacement -

    Hi gurus:
    This concerns replacement of LCD Screen on my 14" T400 Laptop, which i'd purchased on Jan 14 2009.
    >> This is a LED backlit WXGA+ Screen. 
    Usage: 
    ** Very light usage; 2-3 hrs/week;
    ** Used this as a standby for my work laptop.
    ** Sparingly used for pretty much anything. 
    ** I am very disappointed with this laptop and all through its performance and battery life has been very sluggish. (1 hr battery at the most).
    >> Runs very slow even with Vista/XP downgrade
    Problem:
    >> 1.5 yrs later, the LCD screen on this laptop doesn't turn on. 
    >> I have tried the LCD Troubleshooting Guide @:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4YQHUC
    ** The screen is just plain dead. No startup blink. Nothing. 
    ** Identified the following part details from my order:

    42T0503     42T0504 14.1 INCH LCD DISPLAY FRU YES
    ** What are my options in getting going with this laptop?
    >> The LCD screen conking out in this manner with minimal use is unacceptable, according to me. 
    >> I had checked the price online for the Retail replacement part, and it brings it to a total of $400 approx. 
    Is there any extended warranty for the LCD screens? Any advise over where to buy from?
    Regards,
    Raghav

    Hi Rich:
    Thanks for your reply. 
    * I tried connecting the VGA cable to my LCD Monitor/TV, but i do not see any output after selecting the Secondary Display.
    * When i boot up the Machine, the LCD does not blink/flicker e.t.c, but i can see that the regular bootup is happening as i look at the Hard Drive light and it keeps flickering.
    * How do i check the LCD sub card? I am assuming its the panel because the LED Light on top of the Screen seems to turn on.
    * Yes i have only the 1 year warranty.
    >> My previous Dell Inspiron which had the same warranty term lasted about 4 years and only gave up because of the Motherboard. 
    I personally bought a Thinkpad thinking it was reliable, but this is quite bad, especially for a sparingly used laptop. 
    regards,
    Raghav
