Battery replace within 2 months?

Hello,
I have a 2012 13 inches macbook pro. Its been 2 months and after 1 month, after i upgraded to ML, it had reduced battery timings and fan noise. i got that part coz ML has battery drain issue.But now even after 10.8.2 upgrade, my batter gives me 2-2:30 hrs of browsing and its just been 2 months. I went to the authroized dealer whom i bought it from and asked for new piece. he told me the piece is ok, however we think its battery issue and it needs to be replace.somehow i can't digest my 2 months MBP getting opened by appl authorized dealer. Is he right about that of replacing battery or what? he ran MRI test too and it showed green. I really don't understand why its being drained and why can't he replace me with new piece instead of opening a 60 days old laptop. what is apple policy about something like this. open up or replace?

When you call AppleCare, you are assigned a case number. Each problem is assigned a case # & given to the customer. It is up to the customer to keep the case number w/the rest of their important documents.
The problem with applecare is that the number they give me that deals with my region is not reachable.
Please clarify "my region" & "not reachable." Click on the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of this website.

Can I get a different color iPod touch, when I get my battery replacement (within warranty) for a refurbished iPod touch 5g?

So I know that If you get your battery replacement (within warranty) an apple store will give you a refurbished model of your old iPod, but what if I want to change the color from the one I have now (white) to a new color (black) is that allowed? Or do I have to get the same exact model as my previous one? Also does the same principle apply in China as it does in the US, or not?

Not likely. All you can do is ask.

I applied for battery replacement almost a month ago! still nothing ..

I applied for the battery replacement on Nov 26. It's been almost a month and I haven't recieved any empty box to send it in for repair. How long does it usually take? I'm thinking of canceling the replacement, how do I do that?

Serviced 4x within 5 Months: Can I Get a New Machine Replacement?

After much consideration, I made the PC to Mac switch, and bought my first laptop and Mac product: a iBook G4 from macmall.com, in late December 2005, right before leaving for a spring semester abroad.
In about a month, I had my HD replaced under the standard 1-year guarantee, at the local service center (France).
About a month after that, my airport card stopped working.
When I got it back, I took it home and found a blue screen. I took it back and they said that there was another problem, likely something with the motherboard. That was fixed.
A few weeks ago, I had another problem where my computer would only start up to the blue screen again. I still don't know what it was (in service currently) but it is a hardware problem, and the 3rd "major" problem (apparently Apple doesn't consider airport a considerable problem).
Losing information from the HD failure and having to get my computer serviced 4 times within 5 months has been very frustrating and disappointing. While abroad, my computer was supposed to play a central role: allow me to do work (for my classes, to apply for internships/scholarships) and very important personal support (maintain personal contact with friends/family, photos, music).
Although my iBook will be repaired by the time I return home to CA in 3 weeks, I want to ask Apple for a replacement machine.
I feel a mix of suspicion about the competency of the authorized Apple Service Center and loss of faith in my machine.
--> Do I have a case, especially given that my iBook will likely be working by the time I call in about 3 weeks (I'm still in France and thought it'd be a headache to try to get a replacement abroad)?
I also want the replacement to be a macbook.
Given that I had what I consider the most aggravating problem in the first month or so, a hard drive failure where I lost all the valuable data I brought for use/support while abroad, I wanted to argue that I get the equivalent of the product I bought when my ibook went awry. I see the macbook as the equivalent of the ibook.
--> Do I have an argument? Or is it unlikely that I can get a macbook for my ibook, considering they probably want to get rid of all remaining ibooks in stock?
Also, how likely is it that Apple will propose to refund the amount I paid for my computer (which I don't want), given that..
- I ordered through macmall.com?
- I paid 994 dollars for my ibook, and the macbook is 1,099?
Basically, I would appreciate insights on how realistic my desire to ask for a macbook replacement for my ibook is, given my situation.
Thank you in advance! I hope to call around July 10th!
P.S. If they agree to give me a macbook, would it be possible for me to ask to pay a little extra for a Superdrive?
Or pay the difference for even a Black macbook? Or do you think I could make a case for a Black macbook to replace my iBook?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2) 512mb extra ram added when initially ordered from macmall.com

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
If you get a perfectly working iBook back this time, I don't think you'd have any basis to ask for a complete replacement. Why would they replace a working computer?
However, if I were you, I would call Apple Customer Relations and let them know that if something breaks again, you will be expecting a replacement computer. Be friendly and firm with them. Be prepared with the dates and details of the previous repairs (parts that were replaced, people you talked to on the phone and the length of time you were without your iBook). See what they have to say about that.
If they do agree to replace your computer if it breaks again, there's no guarantee they'll replace your iBook with a MacBook. Those details will have to be worked-out with your Apple Customer Relations contact. (In the U.S., you have to call AppleCare Support, ask to talk to an operator and then ask the operator to connect you to Apple Customer Relations.)

Wifi of my iphone 4s has grayed out within 3 months of my purchase..I have now got a replacement from Apple

Wifi of my iphone 4s has grayed out within 3 months of my purchase..I have now got a replacement from Apple but unfortunately it worked for only 1 day and the wifi got grayed out again...I tried resetting all my settings but all in vain. How many times have i to replace my iphone..Has Apple not thought of solving the wifi issues from the core. I have heard many users are having this problem. Why hasn't Apple taken any step to improve and solve this issue. After buying such a high end product, this is what u get??? Most of the Apple users are now shifting to Samsung phones..I was a great fan of Apple and have been using all apple products but this has really disheartened me..Apple please wake up!!!
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4

N86 - Battery Dead Twice within 6 months time

Hi, I own a N86 at July 2009 and replace battery once in Sept 2009. Now 28 Nov my battery dead again. Seems like my battery dying every 2 months. NOKIA PLEASE RECALL THIS BATTERY!!!

It's not a question of heating the battery up once and it dying. Lithium-ion cells are slowly killed by oxidation and that increases at elevated temperatures. Given that most smartphone batteries are already being run ragged by going through their complete capacity every day (whether charged in one go or charged several times), it doesn't take much time sitting in a glove box in a warm part of the world before the battery will keel over.
I absolutely agree that only doing full discharges isn't great for the battery's lifespan, and batterires should be charged frequently instead, but six months is a heck of a short time.
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

I have a mid 2009 13'' MBP. I got the battery replaced in Apple store, It then stopped displaying the battery status LED. After some months of use my MBP died. I got it checked in Apple verfied Service centre and was told that logic board was to blame

I have a mid 2009 13'' MBP. I got the battery replaced in Apple store, It then stopped displaying the battery status LED.
After some months of use my MBP died outside USA. I got it checked in Apple verfied Service centre and was told that logic board was faulty.
After I came back to US I took my MBP to Apple store and was told that there is liquid damage in the system. My question is that if there was liquid damage why did my MBP stop displaying the battery status right after the battery was changed secondly why didnt the apple verified Service centre tell me that there was liquid damage afterall I paid them the money for diagnosing the problem.
Is there a process i can followup on this problem

These are question you would need to ask that service center.

Can my Ipad 3 have a battery replacement outside the country?

My Ipad 3 has a battery weared. It turns off when the battery drops to 80%. I plan go to Apple Store to have a battery replacement. But i purchased my Ipad in US and now I am in France. Is it possible to have this kind of replacement?
P/S: My Ipad is out of warranty 1 month ago

The fact that you bought it in the U.S. should not make any difference at all. I'm not so sure that they can replace your battery in an Apple Store, typically you have to send the device to Apple in order to have the battery replaced. You are supposed to contact them via the link here.

Macbook pro 17" (mid 2010) battery replacement

Hi guys,
Just a first time asking question on this forum looking for some answers.
I had my MBP since new (bought in 2010 - still under applecare) and had my battery replaced first time just 4 days ago.
the test of the HW in Genius bar clearly showed the battery's gone and I knew it for past 6 months or even more. It was still holding power for about an hour (sometimes showing 2-3h), but compare to new one, when I actually got the MBP it was nothing. It actually lasted for 4-5 hours easily maybe even longer and the status was actually showing it was going to last over 7 hours, sometimes even showed 10 hours, which was surprising.
Now, after the replacement, and I believe I got brand new genuine battery, it shows no more than 4 hours but lasts for maybe 2 hours.
Also the health battery indicator is jumping up and down (it was 100% which is expected, but after two charges it showed 98%, then 99% and now it's back to 100%)
So my question would be, how come the new battery is only lasting for 2h not showing anything more than 4h which happened only twice anyway. Normally it show just something over 3 hours but usually below 3 hours and lasts only around 2h.
Can anyone explain or point me to something.
Should I take it back to Genius bar and get another battery or ... ???
Thank you

My iPhone 5 is eligable for battery replacement but there is no Apple Stores in my country. Any advices what should I do?

Hello, I live in Montenegro and I bought used iPhone 5 off ebay few months ago. Phone is sim free but I notice really poor battery life. I have to charge it twice a day! Before 5 I used iPhone 4 and I had to charge every night but I could use the phone all day and I was fine with that. I checked and my iPhone is eligable for battery replacement program but there are no Apple Stores in Montenegro. There is T-Mobile which sells iPhones but I didn't buy mine over there. Is there a way for me to take advantage of this program? Can I get Apple to send me new battery and I will have local repair shops (which are very good) to replace the battery? I am ready to take full responsibility for that. If that is not an option could I visit apple store in US (example) and change my battery there for free, given that it is not bought over there?

This is how you get Service in your Country
The iPhone support site has troubleshooting articles to help you solve your iPhone issue on your own. If you have reviewed those articles and still need service for your iPhone, you can contact your carrier.Note: There may be a fee for diagnostic service. Please do not send any accessories with your iPhone because they will not be returned to you.
However the iPhone could have come from anywhere in the world since you purchased secondhand from eBay
You are correct T-Mobile will not touch the iPhone .
If you check the model number in settings>>>general>>>about >>>Model
if you google that number you will find out where the iPhone originated .If an EU country then you would be eligible for assistance in any other EU country
if not then which ever country comes up is the only source of help
This version of the link above is a European version maybe more relevant

Flex 3 battery replacement... what should i expect?

I am considering buying a Flex 3 15 inch. All of these newer, flexible laptops hide their batteries away where they arent as accessible as the ones i am accustomed to. I have had bad experience with Dell batteries dying after a year or 2, but those i can at least buy and replace with ease. The Flex is more like a tablet in that you have to be experienced at taking apart laptops in order to replace anything.
So if i purchase this laptop, i want to get an idea of what i have to look forward to as far as the battery. How many years can i expect it to last before having to replace it? Lenovo said i would have to send it in to be replaced, but im guessing that assumes that i dont know how to do it (which, honestly, i dont). How expensive can i expect it to be to send in my laptop to have the battery replaced? Im expecting it to be around $200 since the battery is probably $100 already.
Since the model i am looking at is already $900, i dont want to spend another $200 every few years. Is that about what i can expect? Has anyone had an experience with the Yoga or similar laptop that might shed some light on this?
Thanks!

For one, you can take extended warranty for upto 3 years with just $100 (I think), so that should put your mind at ease for that much time.
I had Lenovo Y560 and the battery was faulty at arrival. Replaced it free of cost and never had any problem since.
Using Yoga 3 pro for past 4 months and there have been no problems so far. (Battery life 5-6 hours)
Beyond 3 years, no one can really say, mostly on the forum you will find people who have had issues (coz thats why they come here, right). Hope that you can get responses from more customers.
A laptop life is about 3-4 years nowadays, so you need to also look for how many years are you planning to use this one. Beyond 5 years, I think that most hardware becomes obsolete (can only use for basic purposes)
Current System - Lenovo Y510P, GT755M SLI, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 24GB SSD

Battery replacement from Apple?

Hi all
The battery on my 15" MBP (2,2) is showing random health figures between 42% - 52%. I have 272 charge cycles, so I am not expecting it to perform as when it was new 2 years ago. Would I be eligible for battery replacement since it is outside Apple's specs?
Many thanks.

Just to forewarn you that Apple's customer service has been terrible with replacing my battery. I found out back in June 2008 when my battery went completely dead (yes, wouldn't last two seconds) that my battery is eligible for replacement. I called Apple. They confirmed that it was eligible, directed me to their exchange web site, and after completing it even got an e-mail confirmation that the battery would be sent in 3 to 5 days.
After waiting nearly four months, I called Apple in early November and they agreed they had screwed up and promised to send me the battery. I am posting this at the end of November and there's still no sign of the battery! I called Apple today and this time another guy has again promised to send the battery out to me.
I have bought over $10,000 worth of Apple products over the last two years. After seeing how Apple treats its customers, I doubt I am going to buy any for a long time to come.

IPod Nano Battery Replacement

I had a nano which I sold to my brother. The nano was purchased less than a month after the release so the warranty is over. He mentioned to me the other day that his battery was lasting less than 4 hours. I turned off the EQ for him, that has helped a little however, no great amount.
*Has anybody used the battery replacement program? ($60 = iPod exchange)
*Will they give him a 2G nano?
*Should I tell him to go through apple or a third party?(which 3rd party?)
The iPod is great, but less then 1.5 years on a battery is not.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I have not used the 60 dollar exchange program however I did change my own battery. It is a little bit of a challange, but not real hard. You can get one that is a higher capicity then the one that apple puts in the nano. They are around 30 dollars if you do it yourself and a little bit higher if they do it.
You will also get the same type of ipod back, i.e. first gen, you get a first gen.
I have used both these vendors and they have been reliable. Ipodmods.com and ifixipodsfast.com Both are in the U.S. not sure where you are from but you could always google for a third party.

IPod Battery Replacement Service Chan

As of 7.8.05, Apple changed its iPod battery replacement service charge from $99 to $59.
Darn.....now i feel some regret from getting a Zen Micro, seeing as how the only reason i bought it was cuz its battery was only $40.

There is also a company named iPodResQ that for $64 will cover the cost of overnight shipping of your iPod, replacement of the battery and then overnight shipping back to you. This is well worth it. Having just bought an iPod one month ago, I don't plan on this service for at least two years or better. With this service you get your original back. If you opt to send it to Apple, they do NOT necessarily send you the same unit back.
