How much will Apple Charge to reset Firmware Password?

My younger brother has a 2012 MacBook Air 13" with all standard options and he somehow managed to set a firmware password and doesn't even remember doing it considering he forgets things easily. We need this password reset in order to run a disk repair but in order to do that, he needs to boot into recovery mod but it asks for the firmware password. There's absolutely no way to recover or hack it unless you could trick apple that you're an authorized Apple service technician from what I hear. His 1 year AppleCare expiered so it's gonna cost but I want to know about how much it will be to reset this password. I believe you can buy the devices to reset them from eBay but they're a like, $400!

just call any apple store and ask.

Repairs and Service Coverage: Active
Your product is covered for eligible hardware repairs and service under Apple's Limited Warranty. Estimated Expiration Date: 22 September 2014 Learn about Apple's coverage information for your product.

A broken screen is accidental damage and is not covered by the one year warranty (two years in the UK, I believe) against defects, so you will have to pay for a replacement according to these terms.
Apple's Limited Warranty and AppleCare product benefits are in addition to rights provided by the EU statutory warranty. Learn more.

How much will Apple charge me for selling magazine for Free in Multi-issue viewer?

Hi Guys, especially to the two Bobs,
I would like to know, here's the situation:
Let's say I have a Multi-issue Viewer, and I sell magazine issue for free, How much does Apple gonna charge me?
Please help and share your advice.
Thank you.

To conclude:
Apple's financial aspects are based on two parts:
1. A yearly payment, NOT for "development" (that's also free) but for access to their store(s). Everyone can register as a developer, download most tools for free, and develop until they drop. But putting stuff up on the store, requires that $99 fee per year. Note: the publisher (responsible for the content) is the one who legally needs to set up an account and pay this fee.
2. A 30% margin on anything you sell and handle through the Apple store directly or through an in-app purchase, even if it's not physically distributed by Apple. A "free" app or download is still considered a "purchase" but 30% of nothing is still nothing.
Adobe's financial plan is a threefold choice:
1. For Single Editions, it's a one-time payment by credit card ($395) - no additional contract or download fees.
2. For Professional Editions, a fee for your platform contract (on a monthly or yearly basis), plus a fee per download, depending on your contract type and chosen bundle (ranging from 12 to 30 cents). You can develop and distribute all kinds of Single and Multi Folio apps, and even produce them under "Agency" conditions, which means you're allowed to handle others their publications.
3. For Enterprise Editions: call an Adobe representative...

How much does Apple charge to replace cracked trackpad and keyboard

So some idiot decided to wreck a couple of keys off my macbook and brake the plastic on the back of the keys... and then decided to try and superglue it back on and whilst in the process managed to get a bit of glue in the top right section of the trackpad. Then went on to try and loosen it etc and in doing so managed to slightly crack that area on the upper right of the trackpad. My question is how much will apple charge me to replace keyboard and/or the trackpad?

Call your local Apple Store or take your computer in for an estimate. We can't give you an answer.
