Burn marks on ipad

My ipad has burn marks which are from the magnetic strip, ive read that it could be rust from the smart cover but there are actual burns on my ipad, my question is will apple replace my ipad with a new one? Or will they just give me a refurb? Hopefully they will give me a new ipad air

Well, you would have to take it to Apple as only they can evaluate the issue and decide if it falls under the warranty or not.
Regardless, no you will not get a new iPad Air. Whatever replacement you may or may not get, it will be an identical device to what you have now. And odds are that yes, it will be a refurbished service unit as you do not usually get a new device in exchange for your used device, under warranty replacement or out of warranty replacement.

Burn mark on iPad 2?

I'm seeing burn mark on my iPad 2 and smart cover (magnetic strip). Both the markings' location matched exactly when the smart cover is attached to the iPad.

I know this is an old thread, but its one of the first that comes up on google when you search for this.
I can tell you quite certainly that this is not rust. I have identical damage to my ipad and am quite certain it is a burn mark. I have worked professionally on various electronics for over 10 years and have seen damage similar to this quite often. The key to identifying it as a burn over a rust stain is the accompanying damage present in the aluminum. There is very minor pitting present in the aluminum which you would not see if this was simply a stain.
Also on the smart cover, the magnet is covered in some sort of plastic. On my damage it is centered on this plastic strip and not near the edge.
I plan on taking my iPad to the Apple store as soon as I return home. This is not discoloration and it is not rust. This is a burn mark from either heat or arcing. It is possible the wifi antenna induces a small amount of current flow in the case and there is some sort of interaction with the magnet which causes it to arc (and ultimately burn) between the case and the magnet of the cover.

Ipad mini burn mark

II've had my ipad mini for just under a year it still has warranty for about 3 weeks. just recently i was on the internet and this logo just appeared burnt on the screen. When I went on the home it still stayed on. I don't know If I should go to the apple shop or not like I said it just recently happened.

Got a funny smell earlier and burn marks on my hinge (adapter UK/US)

Hi Everyone
Had a bit of a scare earlier at work! Could smell burning in the office, with all the equipment we have it could of been anything but it did seem to stop once I shut down. I don't use the battery anymore as it died a couple of years ago and generally use the mac with only the magsafe adapter. Up and running now and cannot smell the burning anymore. But I have noticed that I have burn marks on my hinge where the vents are (http://twitpic.com/ldehc sorry not a very good pic).
The temperature of my mac gets very hot and when I first restarted they were (Fahrenheit)

This obviously gets worse the longer I use the machine.
Now I am currently holding out on buying a new laptop till I move to the States in December. Obviously it will be cheaper and fit the appropriate plugs (not 3 pin). But I need a computer for work, so if need be I might have to splash out the extra and buy one here. If I do will I need to buy a new magsafe adapter or can I just use one of those converters (3 pin to 2 pin)?
So my question is really
Do those stats (temps/fans) seem weird or too high for an hours use?
Does the burnt marks look serious or have others noticed this from a 4/5 year old MBP?
Cheers and thanks for any responses
Rob

To me that looks more like a liquid stain, like
something liquid got under your MBP and dried up.
Doesn't look burned at all. Or another thought is the
wax finish did dry up from the heat. A burn mark
would look like burned wood. YOu shouls purchase a
Podium Pad anyway for the sake of your table, but it
looks a good waxing would fix that.

Are you kidding? I really hope you are, because that has to be the most uneducated post I have ever heard. That melted the lacquer on the top of the table, meaning the case would have to be at or around the boiling point of water, the temperature that lacquer chips are melted at. Wax would do NOTHING.

Burn Marks on the bottom of my mac

my mac seems to have overheated and now there are some serious burn marks on the bottom. what can i do to help it cool down?

Hey,
If you have burn marks you have some pretty serious issues. I'd contact Apple. I wouldn't be looking for a Band-Aid® when you need a tourniquet

Imac has a burn mark on the logic board

i have a imac emc2266
i recently came across a imac alumium 20 inch and the guy said it doesnt boot and doesnt chime
i have tried every setting and every test still nothing.T
The fans spin and the computer tries to boot
led 1and 2 are on but the logicboard doesnt have a third led
the computer will run a mouse but the keyboard will not power
i checked the logicboard it has a small burn mark
next to the audioboard

I doubt any of those have burn marks. something on that board has fried causing the burn mark. you could find the failed part and try to replace it but you never know what else failed at the same time or failed because of the fried part.

Burn mark on charger

My charger has stopped working. I'm not familiar with the correct terminology. On the power adapter (white square), there is a cord sticking out which you use to connect to your macbook to charge it. Where the cord and the power adapter meet, there seems to be a burn mark and the plastic has holes in it.
I'm not using the charger anymore, for fear of damaging my macbook. I'm going to buy a new one from Best Buy probably. I think I should get the same model, 60W MagSafe.
I assume the burn mark came from over heating. What do you guys do to prevent this from happening?

Hi Cinday,
You may want to look at this Apple article about what you have experienced. See the If you see a spark section.
Best of luck.

I have a mark 1 iPad and am travelling to New Zealand soon. Can I utilise my mobile to obtain a wifi connection?

I have a mark 1 basic iPad and am travelling to New Zealand soon. Can I utilise my mobile phone to get a Internet connection?

How would anyone here know if your cell phone is capable of creating a mobile hotspot? No information about your phone has been provided. Regardless, that's a question for the phone manufacturer and the cellular provider, not Apple user to user support.
The iPad does not provide hotspot functionality.

Unable to burn - Marker position in movie not at GOP boundary?

I just got this message when I tried to burn my DVD:

What does it mean and how do I fix it?
Thanks

False alarm folks. I posted this prematurely. I did a search and Drew13 answered this exact problem in a previous post.

Smart cover leaving marks in iPad screen

I have the new iPad and purchased a leather smart cover which I am disappointed with due to the fact that rather than he microfiber cloth side of the cover cleaning the screen it actually marks the screen exactly where it folds.
I am not the only person I know who experiences this and would like to know if anyone has had any response from apple regarding this or knows of a solution to this problem.
Many thanks

I see the horizontal lines at the fold places of my leather smart cover too. I think though that the cover is just rearranging the dirt on the screen. I periodically clean my screen and the inside of the cover and this markedly decreases the problem. Other than that I ignore it.

Battery & Strange Burn marks!

I need help yet again! I'm really not having any luck with my MBP and it's only 7 months old!
Last night I was working away on my MBP and it was connected to the mains. I wanted to move rooms so left the computer on, and unplugged the power, but the computer just shut down! Strange because the battery was almost full and charging.
It wouldn't switch on without it plugged into the mains. I removed the battery and plug and did the Power reset thing. This worked. And it was working fine, until today it did it again but this time the Power reset won't work. So I removed the battery and noticed a line of small burn like holes along the top where the processor is. I've taken the battery out before and never noticed this.
They look like screw holes, but tarnished and brown, almost rusty, and they're not evenly spread across. I've taken a couple of pictures on my mobile and you can get the idea of what they're are like.
Are they normal? I've never noticed them! What has happened? It did crash the other day but it's working ok.
If not the spacebar, powerbutton or crashed OSX it's the battery! What else can possibly go wrong!

Hi!
Thanks for the info. I checked the links you gave me and it lists symptoms for the required battery recall. However my symptoms don't seem to be covered in its list. However I was going to fill out the form anyway to send off my battery's serial number and computer serial number to Apple to see if my battery qualified under the recall. However under the "How to find the Serial Number" section I've noticed that where my MBP serial number should be printed, as shown in their diagram, is where the mysterious marks are! So it seems that the marks might by where the label should be printed! Therefore my computer's serial number isn't on my computer! Therefore I can't send off for a new battery from Apple. Should I be worried?

Has anybody else noticed burn marks on bottom of screen?

I have 2 Macbook pro's non-unibody previous models and on both of them I have noticed charred marks on the bottom of the screen (silver portion) and on the bar that connects the screen to the body.

Take it into an Apple store or AASP.

IMac Screen has burn marks developing

I have a late 2008 iMac that up to now seems to be operating ok. But recently there have been dark spots occurring on the screen after the unit warms up. It's most definitely caused by heat because the spots on the screen are hot to the touch.
When I turn the unit off and let it rest, then reboot after a while, the marks go away.
Is this an Apple defect? Is there anything that can be done? In other words if I take it to the Apple Store are they going to tell me there's nothing they can do?

I don't b4elieve they'd tell you that they can't do anything; the point would be to find out exactly what issue is causing it and how much it would cost to replace that part. If your machine is a 2008 is getting to be +/- 7 years old which - with electronic devices - is very old. So you will need to determine if whatever fix they offer is worth spending the money on. And, after 7 years, it would be far too difficult to prove it's a manufacturing defect - rather, it appears to be simply parts wearing out after quite a long time.
