Does Apple store replace or send off for repair a deffective iphone?

Purchased on release day and wifi does not work. I anm going to the apple store today for an appointment. I have restored it. Will they replace it or send it of for repair?
Thanks

When the iPhone was first released, there was no refurbished inventory available and if there was a problem within the first 14 days or so after an iPhone was purchased, an exchange at the store was pretty much automatic.
Now that some time has passed - if the store personnel are unable to repair it, your iPhone will be sent off to AppleCare to be inspected and tested for possible repair or replacement with a new or refurbished iPhone at Apple's discretion depending on inventory on hand - along with a loaner iPhone offered and provided by the store if needed/wanted.
The Store Manager may have some flexibility in this regard but an exchange with a new iPhone off the shelf at a store is not automatic.

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.

Does Apple stores replace cracked screens??

Please Help!!!!

Only for iPhone 5.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Hey Betty2241,
Thanks for the question. Let's try a few things first:

How to package monitor when sending off for repair

Dear members of this forum, I have today arranged for my monitor to be sent off to an Acer repair centre in Telford after I found the display had some issues - namely a noticeable white blotch on the screen and dark edges). I have the 21.5" model of this monitor - for some reason Amazon removed my version. Unfortunately I no longer have the boxes that the monitor came in so I wanted to ask you how I should go about packaging the item to ensure it is delivered safely without any damage whatsoever. Could somebody also please confirm whether I need to send off all the cables it came with as well? I had no use for the VGA cable, so I do not know where it is. HDMI cables were not provided. Would it be okay to send off only the 1. Monitor and 2.Power Cable? It would be very helpful if you guys could give me dimensions of the box the monitor came in. Also, any advice as to where I could get the cardboard boxes and bubble wrap too. Thank you for your time, I look forward to your replies.

Here's the weblink with information to package the product to ship it in for repairs.http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32900/kw/repair/related/1You do not need to use the orginal box, you may use a plain box.You do not need send the vidoe cables. You may send the power cord if the monitor has power issues so that it would be replaced if defective.

Can apple store gift cards be used for repairs?

I have an Apple gift card (NOT an iTunes card) that covers the amount of a repair for my macbook. Can I use it towards the cost of the repair in an apple store?

Yes.

It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?

My hard drive continually has the floating beach ball and will take massive time to fulfill a request. And then will not boot up...so then I have to do a restore and rebuild hard drive from a past saved time machine version. Works for a little bit...then the floating beachball comes more and more...until it will not boot up again. So then I restore from a previous time machine saved version....and again it works for a day or so ... until it happens again. Now it's happening faster and faster...so I think my hard drive is dying.

What Mac model do you have? You might be able to upgrade the OS to Tiger 10.4 or Leopard 10.5.
Even browsers for Tiger 10.4 will get the update message.
You could try a newer browser than Safari, which is obsolete, by downloading Firefox v2.0.0.20 at http://www.oldapps.com/mac/firefox.php

Apple store needs to send my MBP for repair to change an HD?????

A bit disappointed here, not only my MBP HD just failed after 11months but my local Apple store (seattle) can't change an HD they have to send it for repair (???) and 2 days after dropping the MBP at the store it is awaiting shipment to the repair station????
It's a good thing I am a Procare member, I wonder how long it would take otherwise...?
I talked to the store twice about an estimated time for the repair, twice I had to remind them I was a Procare member (they did not know....), .
Is there anybody aside from the local store I could contact about this? can't find a number for customer service.
Thanks
F

Sorry, I really don't know what HD I had in the MBP. How can I find out?
I just read a post :

This is pretty much the noise I have been hearing for about 4 weeks before the drive failed.

No.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

Can a local Apple store replace the hard drive in a current iMac

Can a local Apple store replace the hard drive in a current iMac or do they have to send it out to a service center for repair? I was told that the new iMacs are too difficult to service now that they are glued together and a local Apple store cannot do the repair themselves. Is this true?

i know the SSD is serviceable like all the apple products, and isn't that difficult to replace. definitely reach out to the store and find out. you should be able to call ahead and get some answers from the Genius Bar.

I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode and have to restart the computer. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there

I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode resulting in my need to restart the computer. I dislike all of my programs opening at once when I do get the computer started becasue it slows the cpu down. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there. Note: i never had this problem with snow leopard

I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

Apple store replacements

hi, I was wondering how the apple store replaces iPhones. Do they give you a new one fresh out the box or a refurb. I was going to make an appointment but I wanted to know how they replace them. Also do i have to give them all the contents that came with if I make an exchange? Thanks.

Per the written warranty in regards to an exchange, at Apple's discretion you will be provided a new or refurbished iPhone. This depends on what the store has available in stock.
If the decision is made to exchange an iPhone at the store, the replacement iPhone is provided only with no SIM card installed and you don't need to return all original contents since the iPhone itself is being exchanged only. You place the SIM card from the iPhone to be replaced in the new or refurbished iPhone and you will be able to place and receive calls right away but you must sync the iPhone provided with the exchange with iTunes on your computer in order to transfer all data.
If an exchange is made, be sure to erase all data and settings on the iPhone to be replaced. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Not to worry about the possibility of getting a refurbished iPhone for the exchange. If you are not made aware of this, you will not be able to tell or notice any difference. A refurbished iPhone is more closely inspected and tested than new iPhones before leaving factory and the warranty still applies.
