Broken ipad 2 screen, 3months old, will Apple uk replace?

Hi Guys, my 6 year old dropped our ipad 2 onto a tiled floor & shattered the screen, the ipad is still working, and i have an appointment at the local Apple genius bar Sunday, i think i may have to pay £246 for the repair, so wondered if any of you good people had any suggestions on how to blag a free repair, i will be taking my son along, and beleive me he will be crying! (we have been practising all week)

Update on broken ipad 2.......................
i know your all dying to know what happened!!!!
popped along to the Apple store on sunday with my son (no he didn't cry ,) i think he found his utopia,Apple store with its array of shiny ipads, ipods and Macs.We was met by one of the staff, he was very helpful, explained the two options, either claim on the house hold insurance & pay the excess or pay Apple £240 to replace the ipad. we went for the second option and agreed to pay Apple.
at that point he explained how sorry he was for the unfortunate accident & gave us a 10% discount (of which i will invest in acting lessons for my child ) A JOKE!!!!
A protective case is now on my shopping list, with new rules in our house hold, If the ipad is to be use by my son he can only use it from the comfort of the non tiled very soft sofa.
and they all lived happily ever after
the end

  • Will Apple still replace my power button if my screen isn't the original apple screen?

    I took an iPhone I have into Apple last month and they said that for them to replace the power button they had to replace my screen first because it was a little bit off. I didn't want to pay so I went ahead and replaced the screen myself. Will Apple still replace my power button (through the program of course) if the screen isn't the original Apple screen? It is an iPhone 5 64gb

    Ralph is correct. When you replace anything on your phone yourself, you void any warranty that is left on the phone, and even any support thereafter. Apple does not support third party products, and they will not touch your phone if you are willing to replace things yourself instead of spending the extra to go to a store to do it right. Sorry.

  • My iPad screen freezes and will not switch off for at least 5 mins?

    my ipad screen freezes and will not turn off or  function for at lease  5 mins then just closes down

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • My iPhone 4 has water damage and a cracked screen but i have no warranty will apple still replace my phone at a cost?

  • Iphone 4s front glass screen smashed. Will apple replace for free if I have Apple Care?

    Iphone 4s front glass screen smashed. Will apple replace for free if I have Apple Care? Can I do it in any Apple Store? I bought it in EEUU

    Sorry no
    the iPhone can not be serviced anywhere other than the US
    The warranty is NOT international it is only valid in the country of purchase
    AppleCare + as explained is also NOT international it is only
    valid in the US
    This is why all responders recommend against buying in USA
    you are resident in another country
    Just for reference an iPhone purchased within the European Union
    can be serviced under warranty in any member EU state
    However that does not help you

  • Will apple still replace my phone even with a cracked screen?

    The power button on my Iphone 4S was stuck. I was taking it to the Apple store to see what they could do and on the way I cracked my screen. Will apple still replace my phone because the power button was broke first?

    You'd better ask them. All we users can do is offer ipinions.  My opinion is you should take $199 (or local equivalent) with you.

  • Will Apple still replace the screen on my iPod Touch 4th gen.?

    I dropped my iPod and completely cracked the whole front of my iPod. I got it a Target a month ago and I lost my receipt. Will Apple still replace it?

    @lllaass I just cracked the screen on my Ipod touch 8gb 4th gen which i just bought wednesday from Target. However, I have one of those military grade portective films over it. Was that supposed to protect it? Not sure, but I also have another issue. I live an hour away from the nearest apple store and I don't want to make an appointment at the Genius bar and still have to pay. Should I just take my chances and schedule one? Or are there other places that might be able to replace it for cheaper? 

  • Cracked iPhone 5 Screen. Will Apple repair/replace this?

    So I bought an iPhone 5 off craigslist, and a week later I drop it off the 2nd floor
    Completely shattered the screen, the lcd won't light up at all, and the home button flew off(still have it)
    I can still get calls/texts, I hear my ringtone and the phone vibrates, but I can't see or use the screen. The bezel also slightly bent at the top near the volume button.
    Will Apple repair/replace this? I know they charge $229 for user damage repairs, but will my phone be covered due to the amount of damage??

    " I know they charge $229 for user damage repairs, but will my phone be covered due to the amount of damage??"
    Only Apple can tell you this.
    Make an appointement at the genius bar and ask them.

  • I'm having a brand new unopened Apple 5W USB adapter from UK. I want an Indian version USB adapter. Will Apple Store replace my USB adapter for free of cost ?

    I'm having a brand new unopened Apple 5W USB adapter from UK for my iphone 5. I want an Indian version USB adapter. Will Apple Store replace my USB adapter for free of cost ?

    Perhaps, but maybe not, as what can they do with one with the UK plugs?  I'm just saying regional things like that often have to be returned at a store in the country you bought them.
    But, just go and ask as the worse they can say is no.  If they do say no they cannot exchange it, then for very little money you can buy a UK-to-India plug adapter and use that charger in India anyway.  Such plug adapters are only $2-$5 here in the USA on Amazon.

  • My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

    As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
    But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement.  That is not necessarily true.  Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is.  They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

  • Where do I get my broken iPad  screen repaired?

    Can I get the cracked screen of my iPad 2 repaired., and where?

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

  • Can a broken Ipad screen be fixed?

    I just dropped my Ipad and cracked the screen. Can this be fixed or did I really, really blow it!?
    Thanks, Maria

    You can take you iPad to an Apple Store & they will provide a replacement iPad. The cost will be about 1/2 the cost of a new iPad.
    There are some 3rd party repair places that will cost less, however, your Apple warranty will be voided.
