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.

  • How much do battery replacements from Apple cost?

    For anyone who's sent there ipod in to Apple for a battery replacement (I have a 5th gen.), how much did it cost? (not under warranty)
    My batterie's not too bad, but it's definitely not new, and I'll need to replace it in the future.
    Thanks in advance!

    With the 5th Generation your chances of finding a responsible 3rd party to fix it are almost nil. Apple does not actually open the device and put a battery in it they just replace the whole unit.
    You can buy a battery from someplace like http://www.ipodjuice.com and they will sell you tools and pictures of how to do it but that is the one model they will not do a battery replacement due to the time and difficulty involved.

    Hello forum.
    I've got a Macbook pro (model 2010), and are wondering what the price are for replacing a battery at apple repairs, outside the warrenty period (i've bought the MBP at apple.com)?
    And are there any danes that have tried getting a battery replaced at apple, outside the warrenty period, and what were the price?
    Thx.

  • I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously.  My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes?  Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

    You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

  • My touch died and I got a replacement from Apple.  I restored from backup, and it installed all my apps.  My iBank and Docs to Go will not set up to sync.  In both cases, when I enter the numbers it says they are incorrect.  They aren't.

    My iPod Touch died, and I received a replacement from Apple.  I restored it from my last backup, using iTunes.  This reinstalled my apps as well.  These included iBank Mobile and Documents to Go.  I have the desktop versions on my MacBook.  When I attempted to sync I was directed to install the device.  OK.  In both cases, I get to the point where I am instructed in type in the numbers from the iPod screen into the desktop to set up the sync.  When I do, i get an error code in Docs to Go, and "the number is incorrect" from iBank.  I tried deleting and reinstalling the mobile app for iBank with the same results.  Help please.

    When you restore one device from a backup of another device, keychain items like passwords are not restored unless you used an encrypted backup.
    Try logging into the two apps. Next I would try deleting the apps and redownload resetup the apps.

  • 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 
    I have this question too (0)

    That information, and more, can be found in the About page of the settings. Tap Settings > General > About and you'll see a lot of information about the device.

  • 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.

    i have replaced my i phone 4s battery today now my phone is permenatly searching for a signal i9m running latest version of ios any help would be great thanks

    Since you did the "repair" yourself, which is an unauthorized process, you will need to find a 3rd party repair shop to help you because you voided any support from Apple. There must be some internal connection that is loose.

  • IPod touch 5th generation (replacement from Apple Store) - yellow tinted screen

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation replacement from the Apple Store, and the display is slightly yellow compared to "new" or floor models. There are also some areas where the yellowing is more obvious than others. Is it possible to get this replaced at an Apple Store?
    I have read other posts where the yellow tint goes away within a week or so. I have had this problem for months.

  • IPhone 5 battery replaced by Apple, now constantly rebooting

    Hello,
    Yesterday, my wife and I both had our batteries replaced by Apple as part of the battery replacement program.  Mine is working fine, but my wife's is not.  When we got home, the battery was at 22% (understandable since it had just been replaced with a new one).  I plugged it to charge.  After about 4 hours, I checked it, and it was still at 22%!  I did a hard reset and the phone came back up at 100%, so I figured it was a glitch.  Well, this morning it was still at 100% after not being plugged in since yesterday, so I did another hard reset.  Now, the iPhone will reboot itself every 3-4 minutes.
    I have tried restoring the phone as a new device.  (I can't restore a backup since it will reboot before completing).
    Strange thing,...it doesn't seem to reboot unless I am using the iPhone, or it is plugged in trying to sync.  If I let it just sit on the table with the screen off, it won't reboot.
    I have an appointment at an Apple store tomorrow, but I am afraid since it is out of warranty, they won't help me....even though it was working fine before they replaced the battery (other than the fact the battery died after about 8 hours).
    Any thoughts out there?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Check out my solution. This worked for me after having the battery replaced for my iPhone 5 at the Genius Bar. Not sure if it'll fix the 100% issue though. Tried resetting network settings like above. I'll have to see and wait. Just had my battery replaced yesterday.

  • Replacement from Apple unlocked or not?

    Lat year i had my iphone replaced under warranty, and didn't think much about it, until I was planning a trip overseas which I am currently on.
    I had tried using the unlock form on Vodafones website, which told me that the device wasn't in their database, which I took to mean that the phone was already unlocked straight from apple.
    I arrived overseas and bought a prepaid sim card, inserted it and got an "Invalid SIM" error, which I have found usually means that the device is still locked to a network...
    should the iphone i received from apple be unlocked? or it is a problem with the sim card? I have noticed that the chip has a different pattern of contacts, and am unsure if that may be the problem also?
    Thanks
    Tom

    which told me that the device wasn't in their database, which I took to mean that the phone was already unlocked straight from apple.
    No, what that really means is that Vodafone has no record of that particular phone being registered to you on their network. Carriers/providers will only unlock phones for customers on their networks.
    should the iphone i received from apple be unlocked?
    Depends, if your original phone was officially unlocked, yes. If your original phone was not officially unlocked, no. So, was your original phone officially unlocked?

  • Carrier want a proof of replacement from apple

    Assume you have mislaid the documentation given to you at the point of exchange
    (you will have been given paperwork)
    You can try talking to Applecare there will be a record of the transaction in Apple systems

  • When getting a warranty replacement from apple can you upgrade to the new model?

    When you take your phone in to apple, and get them to replace it with another phone is it always a like for like replacement or can you upgrade and pay extra for a newer model upgrade?

    Roaminggnome seems to know for sure, but it sure doesn't hurt to turn on the sugar and ask. I would just say that you had been seriously considering upgrading to the 5, and then you had this problem (I think you'll be in a better position if the problem is something original to the phone, and not a 'user misuse/damage' and if you're still under warranty somehow). I mean, you have the top model 4s, a nice amount of GB, depending on the problem, they can still refurb it and make a decent amount on it, I've purchased refurb products on Apple's site, and they are still not cheap! 
    I don't know if they will or not, but it certainly cannot hurt. Just say you were really looking to upgrade and were upset when you had problem xx, before you could use it to upgrade or sell it.  Be super, super nice, and just say like, 'Are there any upgrade options rather than just getting a new 4S or refurb (I think that's what they'll send you, but it's all but a brand new phone. That's not a terrible thing.) If you wouldn't mind, offer to buy a 5 refurb. My iTouch refurb, bought from Apple, came pretty much exactly the same as a new one, the outer components are all brand new, they have the cords/earbuds, all that...the only difference was mine came in a different box....but my original box had John Lennon in it, so that might have been a special deal? IDK
    I've gotten ppl to do some 'out of the box' things they don't normally do, just by being crazy nice, and super accommodating, easy, and flexible. It surely cannot hurt to try, good luck and let me know if it works, so I can try when I return my Mini!!
