How to repair in another country?

Hello!
I live in Russian Federation. One year ago (Jan 5, 2012) I've purchased a Nokia Lumia 800 on Ebay from a UK seller. A month ago the phone has refused to charge and (consequently) to power on. I brought it to a local official certified Nokia repair centre for diagnostics and repair. Since the phone originates from UK and European Warranty does not cover it I agreed to pay for the repair. After diagnostics I was told that "a power unit has some failures and should be replaced", but.... they don't have such unit. And will not have it in the future. And even in the head office in Moscow this unit is absent. If I bought this phone in Russia they would replace it for a good one. But since it is not covered by Russian warranty they (official certified Nokia center) can't provide me any help.
Now I've got a brick named Nokia Lumia 800 and a question: am I eligible to use European Warranty and repair it in UK official Nokia center? I'm even ready to pay for a shipping to and back from UK.
Thank you!

Could you be more specific how to contact Nokia Care? At the link you provided I see 7 options: Facebook, Twiter, Discussions (I'm here now ), Phone us, Visit us, E-mail us, Live Chat. I don't beleve in Facebook and Twitter, I can't visit Nokia Care in UK personally (I'm more than 5000 km far from UK ), and it's quite expensive for me to call to UK. The most logical thing is E-mail us, but it says that E-mail us is only for complains and for other questions I should visit Discussions (I'm here now ) or Troubleshooting. Troubleshooting is good, but I need to provide a phone number in the request form and I suppose it should be a UK-phone-number (it does not accept my Russian phone number) which I don't have. Last chance is Live chat. Unfortunately it's closed for holidays yet.
So what could you suggest me to do?
Thanks!

    and i was wondering if u can look at another country's itunes with itunes 7

    In order to use an iTunes store from another country, you would have to have a credit card with a billing address in that country. And no, buying an iTunes gift card from another country doesn't work. And no, your friend can't gift you music from the Japan iTunes store.
    This is do to licensing deals with the copyright holders. It's not just Apple being difficult.

  • Iphone repair in another country

    I bought my iphone5s 4 months  before I left Australia to work in China, I won't be back until June 2015. Now my phone is dead due to the malfunction screen. What would be for the warranty, can I get a replacement in China? or I have to wait for another year to come back to Sydney to get a replacement?

    The warranty on an iPhone cannot be transferred to another country, it is only valid in the country of sale.  There are only the options of buying a new iPhone in China or sending the non-working iPhone to someone in Australia who can take it to an Apple store genius bar and have it service or replaced.

  • Repair in another country/refund?

    Hi,
    I bought my Macbook in June from the Apple online store, to be delivered to me here in the UK. Since then, I've discovered that it has a discoloured wrist rest AND suffers from the random shutdown syndrome.
    I handed it in for repair at my local service centre, where it's been for over a month, because they can't get the parts (the logic board, apparently) from Apple.
    The twist in my tale is that in just over a week I'm flying out to Canada for three months. I want my Macbook with me, and working. The service centre are happy to give me laptop back to me (with new wrist rest, no new logic board), so I'll be able to take it with me, but I need it repaired in Vancouver/Victoria.
    Can I expect any problems getting my Macbook repaired in a different country? In any case, what is Apple's refund policy (I'm clearly outside the initial 14 days)? This is the first Mac system I've bought and I'm really not impressed- my laptop has nearly been in for repair longer than I've had it with me, which is a joke. I've never had problems of this scale with any other manufacturer, and if I can get a refund, will be very tempted to go straight back to them.

    I was just going to write my own post on my experience with this, but then I saw yours.
    Like you, I have an early model macbook with palmrest discoloration and, just since the last few days, RSD. I am American, so is my macbook, but I'm in Bratislava, Slovakia, with no idea when I'll be back in the States, and so the development of RSD in particular terrified me. Yesterday, I wrote an e-mail to McShark, the Apple Center in nearby Vienna, inquiring about possible repair for my macbook. I wrote because I don't speak German, and I pointed out that I would need both repairs, and that my keyboard was an American one and the case would have to match that. I told them that I really couldn't be without my macbook for long, and wondered if, should they be willing to order parts and do the repair, I could keep the macbook in my possession until the parts were in the store.
    Today, I received the most helpful, friendly letter back, saying that it would be no problem for them to order the parts, including the American keyboard and case, that they would inform me when the parts came in, and that they would repair in in just a few hours!
    I can hardly BELIEVE this! In 8 years of owning Sony VAIOs, I never got CLOSE to this level of service. In June, I was happy I bought Apple because this macbook is by far the best laptop I've ever had. And now, I'm happy again because this service is also the best possible -- and in a foreign country, far from home, where I don't speak the language - Excellent!
    If I were you, I wouldn't worry about taking a macbook that needs repairs to Canada (though I've heard that from Vancouver they will send it to Toronto for the repair). It seems to me that Apple really does stand by their product and will do their best to keep you happy.

  • Buying content from another country.

    I want to buy audiobooks and music from Italy, listen to Italian podcasts. Is there a good way to go about doing this? I tried changing my country preferences to Italy but it will not allow you to do it. It wants an Italian address. Also it will not allow you to purchase with an American bank account, so it will not even allow me access to free downloads. Does anyone know of a way around these hurtles?

    Short answer, no. In order to purchase from another country's store, the copyright holders for content require that you have a credit card with a billing address in that country. These are requirements set by copyright holders on Apple as the copyright holders do not care for cross-border sales.
    Just a suggestion as a new poster, you might want to try the "search" window in the upper right, to see if your question may have been asked previously, that way you don't have to wait for someone to come along with an answer. For example, this question on how to buy from another country's store is asked & answered literally dozens of times per week in both the Windows & Mac forums.

  • How do I change my credit card billing address to another country? The iTunes billing address edit only offers an option for a different State, but my credit card billing address is now New Zealand.

    I recently moved out of the US to another country and changed my billing address at my credit card company to my new country.  Now iTunes won't let me edit my credit card billing information because the "edit" option on the billing address only lets you change states, not countries.  There is a non-spendable balance on my iTunes account because it's an odd amount, and iTunes won't let me change my iTunes store to my new country as long as there is a balance showing in my US iTunes store account.  So I'm stuck.  I can't spend my balance in my account. I can't change the balance to a spendable amount because iTunes no longer accepts my credit card because my credit card's new zip code billing address doesn't match my iTunes account.  I can't change my iTunes account to my new country as long as there is a balance in my US iTunes store.  How can I change my iTunes account information to my new country under these circumstances?

    I am stuck with a similar problem. I moved from Ireland to the UK but for some reason, iTunes would not let me change the country in my payment information, it remains Ireland. I do not have any credit to spend and I still cannot change it. I even set up a new iTunes account and the country still remains uncangable. Hence, I cannot add the details of my UK card as iTunes believes it is set in Ireland. Have you managed to solve your problem?

    Apple can do nothing. As Tim said, only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. You must contact that carrier.

  • I have 0,3€ credits. How can remove them so that I can change to the app store of another country?

    I have 0,3€ credits. How can remove them so that I can change to the app store of another country? I need to change to the Chinese app store as the apps I am looking for can be only found there. Thanks for all answer in advance!

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to zero your account balance. Note that if you're not in China, you won't be able to use the Chinese App Store.

  • HT1541 I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I purchase an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

    I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I buy an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

    Sorry, but it's quite possible that you can't. If there's an Apple Store in the country to which you want to give the gift, you can call them ask ask if they'll accept a Canadian credit card for a gift card purchase to be shipped to an address in the relative's country. If they won't, then you'd have to find an independent reseller in that country that carries iTunes gift cards who could accept your credit card, and there may be none.
    Regards.

  • TS1292 How can I give an iTunes gift to someone in another country?

    You cannot. iTunes' gifts may only be purchased and redeemed in the same country where it was purchased.

  • I'm going to another country for a year and I would like to unlock my phone to take another sim other than my carrier. My contract with my present carrier is finished yet they still wouldnt unlock the iphone 4 for me. How can I be able to unlock it?t

    I'm going to another country for a year and I would like to unlock my phone to take another sim other than my carrier. My contract with my present carrier is finished yet they still wouldnt unlock the iphone 4 for me. How can I be able to unlock it?t

    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.

  • How to replace a faulty iPhone4 in India (purchased in another country, still in warranty?)

    I would like to know how to find a replacement for a faulty iPhone4 in India (purchased in another country, which is still under warranty?)
    Please help. Thankx.

    Expanding on what RG said, the warranty on an iPhone, with the exception of those purchased in the European Union, is country-specific, so you will need to send the iPhone back to a friend or relative in the country in which the iPhone was original sold to take or send it to Apple or the appropriate service provider. You will not be able to get the iPhone serviced in India.
    Regards.
