Inear Earphones replacement rubber tips in UK

Hey guys.
I lost the little rubber tip off my new inear earphones with mic/remote. I called Applecare, the only solution they offered was to try and sell me a new set of phones for £65!
Checked on-line and found one or two places claiming to sell them in the U.S, but is there anyway to get some replacements in the UK?
Seems crazy that I'd need to buy a whole new set of earphones when mine work perfectly well, just missing a piece that probably costs around 10p to make!

Hi Lyssa,
Thanks for your thoughts. I was really disappointed that Apple no longer supply them: I guess it's a sign that the iBook will soon be entirely obsolete...
I also find Amazon to be generally more trustworthy than eBay, but as far as I can tell all the chargers offered for sale on Amazon.co.uk are from third-party merchants anyway (i.e. not Amazon itself), so I wasn't sure how that would differ from buying from an eBay "business seller". Ebay is half the price of Amazon (£10-15 as opposed to £25-30), but if the general experience is that Amazon is better, I don't mind paying the higher price
Does anyone else have any other thoughts/experiences - especially people in the UK?
A follow-up question, if I may: how do I know which wattage power-supply I should buy? My system profiler says:
AC Charger Information:
AC Charger (Watts): 50
Connected: Yes
Charging: Yes
Do I go for 45W or 65W?! (sorry, this is probably a really dumb question, but I don't really have any idea how these things work and don't want to blow anything up!)
Thanks,
Lauren.

  • Replacement Rubber Feet

    Is there anywhere I can buy replacement rubber feet for my MBP? I tried using rubber stick on feet from the hardware store, but they don't stick very well to the aluminum, especially when it gets hot.

  • Does anyone sell replacement rubber feet for Macbook pro?

    Replacement rubber feet for MBP unibody. This might sort the issue with the wobble I have.

    This is what I sent. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks for the input.
    Mr. Cook,
    I've been a loyal customer for a decade. Recently three of the four plastic/rubber feet fell off of the bottom of my mid-2009 2.8 GHz MBP S/N W89XXXXXXYB. I called the Apple Store I use most often, Aspen Grove in Littleton, CO. I described the problem to a genius. They told me that they would have replacement feet waiting available at the Genius Bar within a week or so at no charge.
    I went to the Aspen Grove Store on Wednesday, December 14, to pick up the feet. I met with a young lady named Kacy. She first told me that she would get the feet for me. She then told me that I had to bring my computer in and a genius would install the feet. Then she went in the back for a few minutes, came out and told me that the feet were not available. She said that I needed a whole new bottom piece, but that it would be covered. Kacy went in the back again, came and told me that the bottom wouldn't be covered after all, that my only option was to pay $186 for a new bottom piece.
    About that time the business pro, Greg, came up. After hearing the problem he told Kacy that Apple could cover the bottom piece. They then conferred for a few moments, went back in to the back of the store and returned a few minutes later once again reneging on the offer to replace the bottom piece.
    I had an appointment, so I voiced my displeasure with Greg and Kacy about being treated like a Yo-yo.
    When I had time later in the evening, I called the Aspen Grove store and asked for the store manager. Instead I was directed to a manager on duty (I think), Hailey. I attempted to explained the situation to Hailey, but she continued to interrupt me, characterize Apple employees offers to take care of the problem and then renege on those offers as a "misunderstanding."  She was completely intractible and began to take on a tone of taunting me about the situation. Exasperated, I ended the call.
    Hoping for a different experience, I went to the Briargate store in Colorado Springs on 12/26. Instead, I received a whole lot of "so what," shoulder shrugging and indifference from the employees there.
    Sir, I understand that things wear out and break, but it cannot by Apple's position that the only way to replace three plastic feet that maybe cost 50 cents is by buying a $186 replacement part, can it?
    The position and attitude of your employees in this matter is such a sea change from the exemplerary customer service I've previously seen that I'm struggling to understand what's changed at Apple. An ipad 3, iphone 5, new laptops for my wife and I and a desktop workstation are all on the wish list for my growing photography business in 2012, but I'm sure you can understand my new found reticence at purchasing more Apple products if this is the way I will be treated.
    Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.

  • What if you dont have your ipod shuffle 3rd gen's reciept to get your earphones replaced?

    Im in need of replacing my earphones because the right side is broken and part of the wire is showing and it seems dangerous

    You shouldn't need the receipt.  They should be able to look up your iPod's warranty status using the Shuffle's unique serial #.

  • Replacing rubber pads

    hi- does anyone know how to replace the rubber pads on the bottom of an ibook? one of mine is missing, and i have purchased a new battery, so i want to remove the pad from the bottom of the old battery, and install it in the hole where the missing pad is.
    i guess i need to know how to remove the one from the
    old battery as well as how to install it.
    sorry if this is confusing
    thanks for your time

    Mark,
    Did that solve your problem? If so please mark the question as solved because I as well as other members will can use this thread for future reference. It isn't really needed in this case (if your question was answered), but when someone solves your problem or is helpful, you should "award" them points by pushing the buttons Solved and/or Helpful. I don't believe in the points at Apple Discussions, I don't understand why I should count points never the less count posts. I do it to show people who have the same problem, which answer helped or solved it.

  • Replacement rubber feet for MU09 battery

    A rubber foot on the MU09 battery that came with my computer is missing.  Can anyone point me to a replacement part, preferably with an HP part number?
    Note that the rubber feet I am looking for are for the battery itself, not the computer.  The MU09 battery has two circular rubber feet about 0.9mm in diameter.

    I'm always buying old laptops on ebay and fixing them up and they are always missing the rubber feet.  I went to a pool supply place and bought a set of rubber feet for outdoor steps. I cut them to size and glue them on with automotive trim adhesive.  That's probably overkill for you for one foot, but look around your house at tabletop appliances like small fans or lamps or something you might have sitting around that you don't need anymore and see if it has rubber feet on it. You could cut the rubber to size and glue it on the battery.
    Just an idea.

  • Replacing Rubber Feet

    Hello,  I recently got some work done on my laptop as my charging port was damage. There was also some cosmetic damage to the side my laptop. (I didn't know that was covered under warranty, so I was impressed)  Anyway in order to access the casing they must have removed one of the rubber feet to access the screws. When I got it back from the HP Repair centre, one of the rubber feet kept coming off and I kept sticking it back on but it just wasn't for staying.  So today its came off somewhere and I cannot find it, I've been on the move a lot today so I wouldn't really know where to find it, for all I know its dropped and stuck onto something else and because its not something you generally notice unless you look I never noticed until now.  Anyway I read in this thread: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware-Upgrades-Replacements/Missing-Rubber-feet-on-my-laptop/td-p/4143386 that you can get them from the HP Parts store, so I went there and entered my product number and No Results. I enter my Serial Number and No Results. I enter my product name and...you guessed it - No Results.  Serial number: CND441BFVYProduct number: K6C60EA#ABU If anyone could give me any advice on getting replacement feet I'd greatly appreciate it.

  • Replacement rubber pad for top of LCD

    Hi anyone got any idea on if the rubber pads at the top of the LCD screen are coverred under the warrenty ? Or where I can get any from. The top two on my laptop seem to have come off and so I get to see the ugly screws underneath now.
    Thanks

    If anyone else has this problem, it's likely that Lenovo will force you to mail in the entire laptop (which Lenovo says takes 5-7 business days plus shipping time). 
    When I called Lenovo, they set up a case with me and told me that they would send the part.  I never received the part though, so after 3-4 weeks, I call back and they tell me that the case is canceled.  They never even called me to notify me of this.  They claim that the part has to be replaced by a certified technician, which is surprising since Lenovo has sent me a palmrest in the past to replace on my own.

  • Replacement rubber feet for underneath pismo?

    Some of the little rubber black feet are missing off the bottom of my pismo and cause it to slide and move then typing, does anyone know where I might order replacements over the internet as i'm in the UK.
    Thanks

    You may be able to find some replacements in a hardware store. That's what I did. They won't be the "official Apple" ones, but they will work and will be a LOT cheaper. The ones you buy should have a self-stick adhesive.
     Cheers, Tom
