Are the rainbow coloured lines covered by apple care?

I have a 3 year warranty, started up my laptop today & was greeted by the rainbow colour horizontal lines / vertical lines. No cracked screen, not even a scratch I've taken great care of the laptop. Has anyone ever experienced this (while in warranty?)

  You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

    Seriously, you will have to ask Apple. We are just users like you. You can contact Apple using the Contact Us link at the bottom of these pages. But I don't think you will get a response, but I may be wrong.

  • Is the power adapter covered under Apple Care?

    I wrap the cord on my power adapter about twice per day going between home, school, and work. Consequently, the power cord has begun to fray where it comes out of the white power supply. Is a replacement power supply covered under Apple Care?

    Dorianj,
    I would be interested to hear what Apple says regarding warranty coverage for your power supply. I had a slight, but annoying, problem with my Powerbook G4 adapter where the two-pronged wall adapter would not stay rigidly straight in the wall socket. Result was that it would slide out of the wall socket and lose its connection. I called Apple under my extended Applecare warrantly and they said that a replacement (only $10 anyway, but still...) was not covered as the problem was related to my use and handling. The tech on the phone conceded that if I had said that the adapter wasn't working it could have been replaced under the warranty. Of course he said he couldn't change the information on my "case" once that was entered.
    Hope this experience is hellpful and please post back on your results.

  • 3rd party RAM covered under Apple Care?

    hey all,
    i just got a new MacBook and am planning on upping the RAM to 2 Gigs. I know that if you buy the RAM from Apple and you have the Apple Care Protection Plan on your computer, the Apple RAM you install is also covered for the duration of the plan. I have Apple Care for my new MacBook and i'm wondering if 3rd party RAM would be covered under AppleCare of it it HAS to be Apple RAM. Is it worth the extra roughly $400 to have 2 Gigs from Apple and have it covered under Apple Care? If not, what are some recommendations for reliable 3rd party RAM? is there a certain brand that is hands down the best? thanx very much!
    David

    David,
    AppleCare only covers hardware that you purchase from Apple. If you have problems with your RAM later on, that's between you and the company you bought it from.
    Thus, if you buy third-party RAM, it's important to buy a good product from a reputable company (and to keep the RAM that came with your machine, in case you ever have to return the machine to the state it was in when you bought it from Apple, to return it to Apple for service should they request that.)
    Only you can decide for yourself whether it's worth it to you.
    I decided that it was not worth the extra money to buy RAM from Apple, and bought and installed 2GB of RAM on my own. It was easy, as long as you follow the directions from Apple's MacBook support site (there are PDF downloads explaining how to do maintenance on your MacBook, and RAM is considered a user-replaceable part.)
    I have had a very good experience buying and installing third-party MacBook RAM from Small Dog Electronics; others on this forum have recommended OtherWorld Computing (OWC.)
    Patriot and Crucial also seem to be well thought-of memory vendors.

  • HT3302 My iphone is dropped in a glass of water. Would it be covered by  apple care?

    Iphone4 is dropped in a glass of water. Would it be covered by  apple care?
    Any input is appreciated!
    Thank you

    If you purchased the extended repair plan called AppleCare+ when you purchased the phone, it will be covered wth a $49 service fee.  If not, then user damage is not covered.

    Is there an "APPLE STORE" in India or you just went in a reseller store?
    There is a replacement program for sleep/wake button for free. Just look for an Apple Store and make a reservation at Genius Bar.
    I have an iPhone 5, bought in Dubai U.A.E.
    It is a US model (model A1428) which is different of the model use here in Italy/Europe
    My serial number is qualified for battery replacement program.
    I thought the Apple Store wouldn't repair my phone because I bought it from another country , a different model and it is already out of warranty.
    The Apple store's staff just checked if my iPhone's serial number is eligible for the program and he replaced the battery for free today.

  • Am I still covered by apple care ?

    AM I still covered by apple care ?

    That one can be buggy or it may only work during the first year warranty. I get a constantly churning gear from that, but this one works.

    If that still doesn't do it, call Apple and ask to speak to Agreements Administration.

  • Adapter covered by Apple Care

    The plastic casing on my Power Adapter cable broke right where it connects to the computer pug end. It had been working fine, but yesterday it stopped charghing unless it was in exactly the right position, and seemed to be overheating at the end the connects to the computer (much hotter than before it broke). Is the power adapter covered by Apple Care or am I going to have to shell out the money for a new adapter? The adapter is not even a year old.

    Mine stopped charging some time ago and AppleCare replaced it.
    But your case depends on how Apple Supports sees the situation. How did the casing break, did you drop it or what?
    Give them a call.

  • Is my stuck trackpad covered under Apple Care?

    I spilled food on my trackpad last night and now it's stuck! Is this covered under Apple Care? I know water is not but I'm not sure if food has the same policy.

    Accidental Damage isn't covered under Applecare. Unfortunately, no.

  • Can the apple external disc drive that I just got for my air also work with my late 2007 macbook pro?  The internal disc drive broke after apple care expired, natch.

    No, sorry. it won't work with the 2007 MBP. You can replace the optical drive yourself - just go shopping at OWC.
    Good luck,
