Can I get the battery replaced in my 3GS?

My 3 year old iPhone 3GS can no longer make it through an 8 hour day. I'm going to replace it with an upcoming new model in October. In the mean time, can the Apple Store replace it ?

Apple offers a battery replacement for $79, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

    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.

    The charge doesn't last nearly as long as it used to. Can I get a battery replacement?

    As a rule Apple will not replace the battery after the first year as the battery is considered a consumable item.
    Also you have over the rated cycle count so the battery is Used Up, Consumed.
    Now it all depends on what G bar you take it to and what G person you talk to but don't get your hopes up that you will have it changed for free. More then likely it Will Not be changed for free.

  • Dropped my iphone 5. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

    Dropped my iphone 5. This is the replacement phone Apple gave me a month ago - the camera didn't work properly so they gave me this one. They told me it has a 90 day guarantee. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

    That is not a 90 day guaranrtee. It is a 90 warranty which only covers workmenship and materials not damage. So no. You are going to have to pay to get it replaced.

  • If the battery in my iphone 4s is not holding it's charge, can i have the battery replaced?

    if the battery in my iphone 4s is not holding it's charge, can i have the battery replaced? is there a warranty on batteries? if not, what is the cost to replace the battery? can that be done at an Apple store?

    If the iPhone remains under warranty and it is determined the battery has a problem, the iPhone will be exchanged under warranty.
    If the iPhone is no longer under warranty and you want the battery replaced by Apple, check this link.

  • I have a Canon Power Shot A520 and I can't get the battery cover open.

    I followed the manual and am new to my camera, but I cannot get the battery cover to slide open on my Canon Power Shot A520. Any suggestions.
    Solved!

    Hi WG!
    Thanks for posting.
    There is a sliding lock switch on the battery door that needs to be slid to one side as you also push the battery door out.  Please ensure you are doing both at the same time, otherwise the battery door remains locked.

  • Is it possible for you to get the battery replaced in the iPod touch? If not do I need to buy a new one?

    Idk

    if its still under the warranty its free
    and yes, it is possible. contact apple (have a credit card ready) tell them you need a new battery, their gonna tell you that its going to be aroun 80$-90$ with taxes and shipping included.
    you can try opening it your self and buying the battery elswhere cheaper, but totally not recomended if you dont want to ruin your phone. unless you have extensive knowlege of what you are doing

  • How can I get the battery level of a connected Bluetooth device on my iPhone 4S?

    My Bluetooth device is the Merkury Hexagon Bluetooth speaker, I want to know how to get the its battery level, In the manual, it says there: "Speaker battery indicator will show right on your media device (iOS support only)
    Additional details:
    - I have the latest iOS
    - Not jailbroken
    - The speaker doesn't have a "battery indicator" on it

    this is not a build in part of any bluetooth profiles so to get that feature one needs third party software from the maker of the bluetooth device installed on the device in question
    so maybe you should look for apps made for mercury hexagon in app store?

  • Can't Get the Battery to Charge on a Dell Inspiron 2200

    After installing Arch on an old Dell Inspiron that was running WinXP the battery stopped charging. The power adapter and jack that commonly fail on Dells are both okay. I'm running XFCE4, shows 5% battery left. I don't think XFCE4 is misreporting how much charge the battery has because if I unplug the power source it reports battery critically low.
    acpi -i shows:
    Battery 0: Unknown, 5%
    Battery 0: design capacity 4400mAh, last full capacity 4122 mAh = 93%
    When I first noticed this I didn't think it could be software related, but then did a search and found that a few other archers had reported the same problem. BIOS shows a healthy battery. I tried one archer's suggestion to allow the battery charge in BIOS for a few minutes. If it's an arch setup issue, the battery would show that it's charging after several minutes. So it sat there for about 20 minutes and did not increase from a 5% charge. The battery is not bad, like I said, it was charging consitently when running WinXP a few days ago.

    They use different chargers. You can see the Inspiron in the image below that there's no center pin, and it was charging with WinXP, which is why I think it's an Arch issue. Perhaps there's a kernel module that needs to be loaded that will fix the issue? IDK, but I don't think it's hardware related. The charger tip does seem a bit worn though.

  • Can I get the notebook replaced / screen replaced if i have a single dead pixel?

    Hi,I have a 2 days old notebook, and there's a stuck pixel (red) on the display.It's an expensive notebook, costs more than a thousand dollars, and HP website tells me I cannot get it fixed or replaced if i have just  a single bad pixel.I'm HATING my Envy for this. I'm typing this on my old notebook, the very sight of that ugly stuck pixel is getting me irritated. Sure you can ignore it, but once you know there's a problem, your eyes always tend to go to the problem place. Is there a way I can get it replaced or repaired under warranty? I went for the 3 years extended warranty option, and now found out a dead pixel is not covered. Sucks.

    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post serial numbers and case details.

  • 15in early 2011 MBP, Can I get the screen replaced w Hi-res Antiglare?

    I have a 15 Macbook pro early 2011.  I was wondering if apple could replace the current screen with the hi-res antiglare screen.

    It'll cost the same amount of money as your computer did at first. If you just got your MBP (and you bought it directly from Apple via a store or online) go exchange it.
