iphone liquid damaged

Unfortunately, liquid damage is not covered by warranty. You can get a replacement iPhone 4S from Apple for $199.

I have a macbook air bought in 2010 wit liquid damage that might has affected the SSD card. I need to get my data but apple won't help. Authorized dealers never seem to have the same model to try whether the SSD card works. How can I get my data quickly?

Hi
I have a macbook air bought in 2010. It has liquid damage that might or might not affected the SSD card. I need the data on my SSD card for work and I need it urgently. Apparently Apple won't get the data out, even if I have apple care... Licensed apple dealers need to have the same macbook air model so they can insert the SSD card and check whether the data is there, and they never seem to have one...
I'm really disappointed with apple. It's been two weeks and I haven't been able to find out whether the SSD card is holding my data. It can't take that long to do it in store... How can they sell a product and then wash their hands on the matter?
Anyway, enough with the apple rant. I need to get this data urgently so I need to find out how I can get it out of the card. The SSD card and data might be fine so I don't want to take it to a data recovery centre and get charged loads.
Thanks for your help.

See this link for a 4870 card, best instructs for flashing for a noob like me. (last lowest price was $150 for a 1GB vRAM 4870 from TigerDirect).

However, not every 4870 card will work with the ROM currently floating around out there. BEWARE!

*URGENT* iPhone has "liquid damage"

I have an iPhone 4G, (8GB) (Not a 4S). It was in my bag when my bottle leaked, I have a kipling bag with 2 compartments, my bottle was in the back one and my iphone was in the front one. My bottle had cordial in it and my bottle leaked, soaking all of my bag. When I took my iphone out, it was a bit wet and when I tried to slide it to unlock it, it wouldnt slide properly. I left it in a towel to dry for a bit and I managed to unlock it and enter my password but only once.
Is there a solution to my problem *WITHOUT* having to go to an Apple store. I use and need my iphone alot and it has never been damaged before.
Thanks
(Liquid Damage was the only way I could describe it)

Bit,
Just letting it dry on it's own would not be the best idea...
The longer the moisture remains in the phone the more damage it is likely to do.
You mentioned you are in the U.K. - so I am not familiar with your local services but if the $149 USD price to replace is a problem for you [I know it would be for me] you can always take it to a non-Apple repair center and they can open it up and do their best to get the contaminants out of your phone. [this will void your warranty].
You will have to weigh the warranty against the price to get your phone working.

IPhone "Liquid Indicators"

I wanted to see if anyone has run into a similar problem. My iPhone had an issue where the sound output from the headset within the phone was distorted. I called AppleCare and they stated that this issue would be covered and to send in the phone and they would send a replacement at no charge as long as there was not any liquid damage or damage beyond regular use. Note that I would have taken the phone to an Apple store but I live in a rural area 2 hours away.
Needless to say, I received an email indicating that my warrant was void and I was being charged $205 dollars for a replacement as my phone had "liquid damage". The phone was never exposed to water or any other liquids which has made this very difficult to swallow. I do live in hte mountains and am surrounded in snow and rapidly changing temperatures but I'm not sure what the indicator would be set off by these conditions. In addition after talking to a manager today I was told that the phone has visual indicators which I could have checked ahead of time, in which case I would have lived with the sound distortions. I was told that I could have found this information on the website and therefore was informed.
Anyway, at this point I'm very disapointed and I am hoping someone out there can help or maybe Apple will notice that a good amount of people are having similar problems. Maybe they will even change their policy and inform everyone on the phone on how to check for liquid damage...

If you do a forum search, you'll find that this has been discussed here ad nauseam, in numerous threads. Liquid damage can be caused by condensation, exposure to sweat and rain, as well as a myriad of other scenarios besides obvious submersion.
Regarding Apples policy about water exposure, this is a user-to-user tech support site and you aren't addressing Apple here. The other iPhone users in this conference have no input. In fact, Apple recently revised it's policy in that they used to charge the full (unsubsidized) replacement price - $599 for the 16GB. It's not likely they will modify this further.

Macbook air apparently has liquid damage???

Need advice please! Bought a macbook air from littlewoods in july 2010. Had problems after one month with the airport - it would not switch on, or if it did turn on it would turn off again within minutes (note: i'm not talking about connecting to wifi here - the airport itself would not turn on). Then a few weeks ago, it got even worse to the point where it doesnt turn on at all. This is a major problem for me because i need an internet connection for my work at university. I therefore temporarily used tethering to my iphone.
Next, one day last week, the macair switched off itself and would not turn on. It also went extremely hot - so hot i couldnt even touch it.
So i called up the mac support line the next day but when i tried to switch the laptop on, it wouldnt even flicker - not even with the charger in. I was told that it was a hardware problem and take it into a mac store, which i did
At the store, the mac turned on (i assume because it had time to cool down) but the airport was still problematic, so they took it in to run further tests and determine the cause
Today, i received a call where apple say that the airport problems are caused by liquid damage, even thiugh i DEFINITELY did not drop any sort of liquid on it.
They also said it will cost £1539.60 to repair (as liquid damage is not covered in the warranty) because everything needs replacing (including things like the speakers) - everything else however, works fine!!
There is no way that i dropped any liquid on the notebook. I've barely even used it!
Since apple will not repair or accept it back under the warranty, i talked to littlewoods and they said they cannot accept it back either.
We haven't even paid for it yet - the first installment is in july.
What would you advise?? I am considering putting in a complaint because in my opinion, it is a manufacturing problem.. Or when it went hot, the parts must have melted. I certainly did not cause any damage to it :S
Please help!!

Your best bet is to take this up with a manager at Apple Customer Support.

C7 apparent liquid damage

Dear nokia,
My C7 was working fine till the last 15 days.
The problem started wen wen one night i put my phone to charge and wen i woke up in the morning i was amazed to find that the device had remarkably heated up a lot and the charge was only about 35%.
I restarted the phone and everything seemed to work fine again and it got to full charge in an hour.
This continued on for a few days and den apparently my device became totally alright.
Even now it is working all right.
Wen i got free next week i checked in Nokia care and they said that my fon had liquid damage and my board was short circuited. They said even though under warranty, it will cost around Rs. 9000.
I dont understand i never did put my phone in water, never wetted it in rains, not even it ever got wet while it was in my pants. Then how come liquid damage come to it. You cannot blame for atmospheric moisture to got inside.
Its simply not the fault from the user end, den why do i pay for it.
My warranty epires next month. What do i do?
Plz help.

Hi abhisarpanda,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
Please contact your local Care line who will be able to give you more information on why the phone was not repaired under warranty. They will be able to give you a more thorough explanation and discuss with you what to do from here.

My iphone 4 damaged and replacement refused

My iphone 4 has been dropped and maincard damaged . I sent it to a local service to check it out because it was out of warranty. So they told me that to send it to authorized service to replace. I sent it to authorized service and they refused replacement because i bought it from other country and also opened by another un authorized iphone service. Yes i made a mistake and gave it another service for repair. Should i throw it to the garbage? I trust apple to help me to recover my iphone at any cost..

Service and support on any iPhone are restricted to the country in which the iPhone was originally sold. This has been clear from the day the iPhone was first released. Your only option at the time your iPhone was damaged was to send the iPhone to a friend or relative in the country in which the iPhone was sold to take or send to service. Since you now have allowed an unauthorized source to open and attempt to service your iPhone, you are completely on your own; Apple will no longer service your iPhone even in the appropriate country.
Sorry, but your choices are to either pay yet another unauthorized repair shop to try and repair your iPhone, or throw it in the trash.
Regards.

Stressing! Hardware/liquid damage

Hi, I'm new here, I've had my macbook since december. In january, I spilled lemonade on it, however luckily everything has worked totally fine except for a few sticky keys, never had any problems. Last night after installing an apple update my login screen kept looping, I took it to the apple store and they did a few checks and my harddrive crashed! They're replacing it obviously, but now i'm really nervous! Are they going to see that I have liquid damage now? On the paper they gave me it says "known liquid damage: no" but I don't know if they open it up if they'll see it... Thanks so much for your help!

Since I have never actually opened up my MacBook, I don't know exactly what's inside it. But if it's anything like modern phones and it has like a little marker that tells whether you spilled a liquid, then you my friend are screwed. If they don't then I guess you're of the hook. Unless of course they get all CSI on the macbook which probably won't happen. Bottom Line: stop stressing.

I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.

Liquidated Damages calculation in Purchase Order

How to capture the Liquidated Damages calculation in Purchase Order in SAP MM module?
I have seen many posting with the answer that this is not standard process.
But this is very important process in Purchasing and Liquidated Damages is very important process, if in SAP standard system it is not available then how we can cater this required.
Regards

Lets assume delivery date is 1 May and the vendor delays the shipment by 10
days, the GR takes place on 11 May. So the vendor has to pay liquidated
damages for 10 days. We can agree in beginning with the vendor how much
liquidated damages will be charged per day.
So now we can create two new fields in PO. One with Liquidated damages
charges/day and one with total liquidated damages. In this field, it should
look for the days difference between the GR date and delivery date in our
case 10 days * Rs.1000/day = Rs.10,000. This formula needs to be inputted in
the total liquidated damages.
Now we can directly get it posted to IR or if we want it to hit the
material cost, we need to add new condition type to calculation schema and
apply this cost to the condition type by ammending the PO.
Hope I am helpfull.

IPhone Liquid Submersion Sensor and Dead Pixels

Today I went down to my carrier HQ. (Singtel, Singapore).
I went to spoke to the person at the iPhone servicing counter.
He told me that my iPhone Liquid Submersion Sensor has been triggered and it's now out of warranty.
And my purpose is there, to have my iPhone exchange as my home button is getting unresponsive at times.
And he told me that this is under Apple policy. When I purchase the phone, the salesperson didn't even told me about the policy and I wasn't aware of that.
So the main point is my iPhone Liquid Submersion Sensor and I didn't even drop it into any liquid, I don't know why but it's just unfair for me as an end user.
Question here, will playing apps like Ocarina activate the iPhone LSS? Only my bottom LSS is triggered, the top one isn't.
Also to recall, at the point when I'm buying my iPhone 3G last year, out of the box there is already a dead pixel and the person refuse to change a new set for me.
I'm in need of an iPhone urgently, anybody can tell me what to do?

Ocarina could trigger the water sensor since you could spit into the dock connector while blowing into the mic.

Testing for signs of life after liquid damage

Hey all,
I picked up a Macbook from work yesterday (repairs department) that had been returned a month or so ago as being 'dead' but upon inspection (smelling the keyboard!) I realised coffee had been spilled on it. Long story short, the Macbook was sitting in its box since then in spite of the liquid damage so it's probably been beavering away down there messing things up. As I was, of course, not present when the liquid damage occurred, I've no way of knowing if the machine instantly turned off due to a short or maybe carried on running and was shut down and then after that refused to turn on, or if they were lying/misinformed when claiming it was dead.
Anyway, I've torn it down all the way to and including the keyboard, cleaning all the components along the way and everything looks in top-top condition now, albeit still taken apart.
There's only one problem:
The machine doesn't appear to turn on, but it does charge. Also, the battery indicator light works properly. However, the dvd drive does not make its startup mechanical noise, nor does the hard drive power up. The fan doesn't spin either, but I'm not sure if the fan only ever begins to spin when the temperature reaches a certain point. The led light on the front does not glow at all, either. According to the Apple site, if the system has no ram in it the led should blink once per second but it doesn't do that. I dunked the logic board in shallow rubbing alcohol last night and lightly scrubbed it with a soft toothbrush and left it to dry overnight and it looks clean now. I'm about to plug it back in to see if it starts but I was wondering:
*What are the minimum components needed to be present in a Macbook to check the logic board is functioning?*
With most PC laptops, they'll still turn on the hard drive/screen/etc without any ram or cpu installed but there'll be nothing onscreen, whereas I've come across others that will show absolutely no signs of life at all if the hard drive is set to slave when it should be master!
Do I need to have the screen, drives, and all other bits all fully connected to see if the machine will at least turn on? I'm worried the power button on the keyboard could be faulty but have no way to check that at this moment.
Thanks for any replies(as long as they're not about voiding warranties)!

Thanks for mentioning the hardware test, I didn't think about trying that (assuming I get it to boot), but did you read my post properly?
Probably not, so I'll summarise it (it was a bit wordy):
I have a Macbook that someone spilled coffee on. But in spite of completely disassembling it and cleaning all traces of coffee (isopropyl for circuitry, soapy water for everything else), it won't turn on at all. There is still some coffee inside the keyboard between the two layers, and I believe this coffee is the problem as the laptop charges the battery but won't turn on at all so I think the keyboard is not sending the power-on signal properly.
I was trying to find out *whether Macbooks can be turned on without having to reconnect all the parts* (monitor, ram, drives, etc) just so I know that it at least powers up. Since posting, I've now reassembled the entire Macbook except for the keyboard so I suppose it's largely moot. I'm thinking of buying a new keyboard from eBay to see if that will power up the machine. If it doesn't, then I'll give up.
The bit about warranties has become standard practice for me and was to stop people replying along the lines of "but you'll void your warranty" or giving their two pence about how they'd never EVER void their warranty. It's really annoying because it makes the poster sound silly, and only brings disappointment when I get an email and think I'm getting an answer.
I'd like to believe anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows when they're doing something that will void their warranty, and I seriously doubt there are many cases where someone has unknowingly voided their warranty by opening up or repairing something they shouldn't, only for someone to reply and show them the error of their ways before they realise!

Typical cost to repair liquid damage on MBP

I spilled about a tablespoon of windex onto the keyboard of my 1.66 i7 MBP. Of course it was on when it happened. I turned it off and flipped it over for a few hours. I was getting ready to go out of town when it happened so I had to close it up and take it on a plain with me. When i got to my destination the next day I tried to start it up and it was dead. I have since read all of the I should have done, but didn't.
I was looking to get an idea of the different cost scenarios to get it fixed. Like if it needs a new logic board, etc... I understand it might be better to get a new computer but I don't have 2800 for another 17'' MBP.
Does anyone have experience having a MBP repaired after liquid damage? How much did they pay and what was wrong with it? How long did it take? Was it extra to retrieve the data?

Sure ever situation is different but it gives me an idea when people like thomas share their experience. As I also said before I'm out of town. Actually out of the country and wanted to get an idea of what i'm up against when I return. If you don't know or have not experienced this problem no need to reply with snarky comments. ala ''In my case it might cause next to no damage and the cost is minimal. In your case it may have fried the unit completely so it will cost more.''
Lets give the egos a rest boys.
I'm just looking for people who want to share their experience with this problem.
Then provide the exact condition of your Mac

Help iphone 4S went dead, no drop, no water. Docked to pc and came up w/ error that it could not be restored

Help iphone 4S went dead, I did not drop it, docked to PC and error came up that it can't be restored

Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.
