Battery replacement out side USA

I bought t my laptop from USA after 3 months I return back home (Bahrain)
I am in Bahrain now and I checked Toshiba web site I found the advice to replace battery
So I contact the authorized dealer in Bahrain and I get the information that the dealer will not give any support in battery replacement and I don't know if this statement is right or no
Please give advice on that matter

If you are writing about Toshiba battery replacement program I think it can be done in country of purchase only.
Is the battery OK? I mean if everything is OK there is no reason for panic.

Ipad battery replaced out of warranty now screen not working.

I had my first generation Ipad replaced via the battery exchange in December 2012 and now the replacement's touchscreen is not working sometimes. Do the ipads that come via the out of warranty service come with any warranty?

I can only offer my story. I bought a used 1st gen Iphone. PO had upgraded to 3G. After about 6 months for no reason my screen froze. Called Apple care and suggested I reboot, reinstall, etc.. None of it worked so AC suggested I go to the Apple Store and let them look at it. They told me they could replace w/a refurb @ $200.00, I could buy a new 3G @ $400.00, or I could get a third party to repair it. I mentioned to the Apple guy about the reports of the screen going dead on some phones and he said my phone fell outside the serial numbers that were affected. A little upset, I called AC again and just pushed a little more. I told the guy since it was a mnufacturers defect but my phone was out of warranty I would go half on a refurb at $100.00. He said wait a minute, came back had me send my phone to them and they sent me a replacement phone free. Talk nice to the guys and they will try to help. I said so what I have here now is a very expensive paper weight, is that right? That's when I said I'd go halves on a refurb. I guess they took pity on me. Hope it works out for you.

You're welcome.
1) why is apple so against unlocked iPhones
Because carrier locked phones is their business model. Apple gets a small piece of the monthly revenue from the designated provider for each subscriber with an iPhone. Each cellular provider Apple has a contract with is also interested in Apple not supporting unlocked iPhones.
2) why wouldent they touch my phone just to replace my battery?
Unlocking an iPhone is against the software license agreement for the iPhone and voids the warranty. If you don't keep your part of the agreement, Apple isn't obligated to keep their part. If Apple repaired an unlocked iPhone or replaced the battery (anything that involves opening up an iPhone for a covered repair under warranty, Apple normally exchanges it for another iPhone - and the one returned is refurbished), it must be tested, etc. and may involve re-installing the current firmware version which can/does cause problems with unlocked iPhones.
Basically if you don't abide by the license agreement, Apple won't cover the iPhone under warranty (which is one of their parts of the license agreement), and won't repair it for a fee either - since they can't guarantee their work - or that the iPhone will work properly afterwards if unlocked. If one chooses to go their own way with the iPhone, it shouldn't be too difficult to go their own way to have the battery replaced or the iPhone repaired on their own.

How do i get a shipping box for out-of-warranty ipod battery replacement?

i have signed up online to have my ipod battery replaced. the pod is out of warranty. the email reply only tells me to pack it well because apple won't deal with it if it is damaged in shipment. the only instructions i have found in my search at the apple site seem to deal with apple automatically sending the shipping package for in-warranty pods.
can anyone help?
thank you in advance,

Usually, it takes about a week from the moment you
request the box till you have the iPod back.
gee, apple acknowledged my request for a replacement on 0905, but i don't have a box yet.
i called my apple store, and they also said that apple would send me a box.
i just noticed that you said "from the moment you request the box." how do i request a box? i have only "ordered" the replacement battery -- apple terms it an "apple product replacement request."
i guess i am impatient, but i'm beginning to feel that i am in the middle of a kafka novel.
chris, can you think of anything else?
thanks.

Can you get a battery replacement at an Apple store while you wait? What would the rough cost be, out of warranty?

Can you get a battery replacement at an Apple store while you wait? What would the rough cost be, out of warranty?

I am not sure what device you are trying to replace the battery on, but usually the battery is at least 30% of the cost of the device from what I have read. Apple likes to keep a monopoly on batteries I think. I have never seen them replace a battery at the store, usually they have to ship it out. You can find batteries for sale online, but you will have to crack the device open yourself.

Out-of-warranty Battery Replacement Program

I have an old Firewire iPod and would like to replace it's battery.
A friend of mine said that really old iPods do not apply for the Out-of-warranty Battery Replacement Program because Apple doesn't replace the battery, but gives a new or a refurbished iPod.
This page ( http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/battery/ ) don't say anything about iPod generation and I also heard that old iPods are replaced by new generation iPods.
I like my Firewire iPod, but i would like to know what really happens in this program, coz i only would replace it for the video or nano ipod. Not any other iPod generation between these and the one i have would please me.

I'm in Brazil and i'm going to the US in two weeks. I would like to know that to decide if i take my ipod to do this battery replacement or not.
Apple Brazil didn't give me any information about the Battery Replacement Program. It's only avaliable in a few countries.

Hi,
thanks for your answers.
The reason why I am trying to get iphone from verizon is because if you buy unlocked Iphone from Apple it is model A1428 and I need A1429 CDMA (uses LTE frequencies that are mostly used around the world). I would buy A1429 GSM but it can be bought only outside US. I have read that A1429 can also be used on GSM without problem.
I was just wonderign if someone knows do I cancel my contract without even inserting verizon sim and activating, or do I need to first insert VZW sim, activate the phone and than after can I cancel my contract.
@kaebfly- I have understood I can cancel contract within 14 days of activation and without returning the phone just pay 350 ETF and the phone is mine.
@21stNow - do you think I have to wait to cancel contract after 14 days?
@ both- when you say off contract do you mean VZW on month-to-month base or unlocked iphone from apple? If you think of later than the reason is the phone model.
Thanks for your answers

Ipod Touch 2nd Gen Battery Replacement?

I have a 32 Gig Ipod Touch 2nd Gen, bought it when it first game out. Battery has been really poor lately and I took it to the Apple Store to see what I can do. They told me that they don't do battery replacements, just replace the whole unit. I said fine, until they came back from their computer and told me that it would cost me $250! I was pretty shocked, they just smiled and said, well they are trying to encourage people to drop their old units and buy new ones.
Anyways, $250.00 to replace a battery that should cost no more than $50.00 as per any other battery I've every replaced is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. With that said, does anyone know of any options to get my battery replaced, a good place I can send it in to, I'd like to get a "GOOD" battery not some cheap unit that will die on me quick.
Comment to Apple, I don't mind paying a little extra to replace the unit with a new battery but $250 is absolutely absurd, and to hear a comment on a perfectly good unit that Apple is charging a lot to encourage people to buy newer gens is very upsetting. I was eventually planning on getting a 64Gig version but at the cost, it's just not worth it to know that these items are just disposible once the battery dies! I hope you consider changing your policy in the future to something more reasonable. However old it is, any other product I have costs me a few dollars to replace the battery and I get good use out of it for a very long time!
Thanks

In the USA, Apple would charge $79 plus shipping for battery replacement:

Battery Replacement Questons - Need answers please!

Hey everyone! So, Im going to the USA next wednesday and I was wondering - I am taking my iPod touch in this week (maybe) for a battery replacement, how long will it take? Will I get it back in time for my trip? or Will they give me a new one because my 1-year warrenty is not over?

Battery replacement for iOS devices actually means they swap your device with a factory refurbished one (new screen, new battery). They take your old device in exchange. If not covered under warranty, the price is $79.
Note that you have to actualy surrender your old device, so make sure you have a backup made before you take it in. The replacement will be as new out of the box, so it will have none of your content on it (that is up to you to restore from your backup).

Battery replacement, G3 minitower

Hi,
A work colleague has 'inherited' a G3 minitower. Very nice machine indeed; I used to have a desktop G3 and it would have been great to have one of the minitowers. I've been helping to clean it up, and the system time is out, so I assume that the mainboard battery is dead. I've had a look at it and it's covered in a black plastic surround. Before I attempt to take it off I'm wondering if there is anything I should know about it? Will I need to leaver it off or does it come off with finger force?
Also, is the battery replacement the same as that used in the older G4s (Yikes)?

Hi Kevin,
Yes the little battery cage looks daunting but isn't too bad to remove. I believe the designers wanted to make sure the battery stayed in place if the computer fell off a ten-story building!
The best web resource regarding logic board batteries is this site. It recommends a small screwdriver blade to release one latch on the cage, or squeezing the cage sides.
If the minitower you're considering has the long A/V card in the PERCH slot, you may have to remove the card to get at the cage. If so, make certain after installation that the card is fully seated and level in its slot.
Here's another reference:
Handy Logic Board Diagram
Use the diagram to find the "CUDA reset" button (near the upper left corner of the diagram. You'll need to press and hold this for 20-30 seconds before installing the new battery.

MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one. If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity.

Please, is there anyone one out who can help me solve this problem? I just can seem to figure out how to get to the U.S. store... thanks!

I just read this solution, tried it & now it's working...
I think I found a fix...I went to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, then click on your Apple ID...view Apple ID...change country region to USA (even though it was already USA...just do it again...go through the steps making sure the United States store is selected...agree to the Terms of Service, THEN I think what the key is is to RE-auhorize your credit card...in my case all I had to do was enter the security code...and it worked...I am now able to download the YouTube app for example...couldn't do it before.

How can I tell if my iPod touch needs its battery replaced or if there is something wrong with the power connector?

About 3 weeks ago, I got pushed into a pool, fully clothed, with my iPod touch in my back pocket. Miraculously, I was able to salvage it (or so I thought) by putting it for a couple of days in a dessicator jar and then recharging it. It seemed all right until a few days ago, when it began having more difficulty being recognized as connected when I hooked it up to my MacBook Pro, my wall charger or my USB port in my car. Last night it was working and I was able to play it in my car and to successfully sync it. I surfed on it for awhile then forgot to plug it in before I went to bed. The battery indicator was in the red when I woke up, so I connected it to my wall charger. When I came back, it was right where it was - no charging, and moving it to a new outlet and changing cables did not help. So, I tried hooking back up to my laptop, same thing. I tried my husband's wall charger; still no connection. I then tried hooking it up to the USB port in my car, but it sees no connection. If it weren't for the fact that it got dunked, I'd assume that the battery needs replaced, but because of that, I fear it might be something more complicated. Does anyone know if there is a way I can test this? I'd hate to go get the battery replaced, only to discover that it still doesn't work.
Thanks!

Apple does not replace your battery. Instead it replaces your old iPod with a refurbished one (with a new battery). When they see your iPod, the can tell that it had been in the water and will probably offer you an out-of-warranty repair ($99-$199). If you want to take a chance on just replacing the battery, Google for a third party repair shop, but in that case, the risk is all yours.

Battery Replacement Zen Stone Plus

Li-Poly batteries last approximately 3 years after manufacturing (charged or not). So if your Zen Stone ceases to function and it has not been abused, it'ss likely a dead ? no longer can be charged - battery.
I purchased a battery (actually 3 to meet their $ minimum) from allbattery.com? Polymer Li-Ion Battery 3.7V 240mAh. Order it with NO PCB option. $3.99 each plus shipping. After they arri'ved, I note the brand name is ?Tenergy. Original battery specs from Creative are 280mAh, a nominal difference. Specifications I didn?t have were charging requirements, but I?m happy to report they recharge seemingly identical from the Creative OEM batteries.
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0[/img]<tr><td>This battery replacement takes some skill and is, obviously at your own risk. Suggest examining ribbon cable prior to ordering batteries. My unit is a Zen Stone Plus with Speaker.
</td></tr></table>?
BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
Run Exacto knife or small utility knife around sides and end NOT including end opposite display (or you will cut through a ribbon cable) penetrating no more than 0.075 (/6th inch) to split case of Zen Stone. It may be necessary to insert small jeweler?s screwdriver directly at corners to gently pry, releasing positioning studs. If you?re lucky, you won?t break off studs, but if you do, don?t worry they are mostly for alignment purposes.
Lift off control pad (volume up down, fast forward, reverse, center select button) Remove two Phillips screws holding pc board to bottom case and lift edge of pc board with small screwdriver under USB port.
Hinge pc board up with headphone jack on top and lift up battery with screwdriver.
Examine ribbon cable, which is folded around control board and sandwiched between control board and pc mother board. If cable is torn (or cut) you?ll probably have to throw Zen Stone in trash as this cable may be impossible to repair.
Remove white tape from top of battery and unsolder + and ? connectors
Tint ribbon cables with solder (I used a little solder paste to get solder to stick), the solder in wires, paying attention to + and ? terminals. Be very careful not to touch the ribbon cables together or solder on a metal surface.
Cut a piece of electrician tape and wrap around ribbon cables and soldering joints.
You can test your Zen Stone prior to assembly.
Reassemble in reverse order using a pin, tooth pick or small paper clip and clear silicone caulk around edges. Wrap elastics around unit holding upper and lower case together while caulk dries.

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
