MBP sent in for repair--trade displays?

I just had my 15" MacBook Pro sent in for the following:
- CPU Idle Whine
- Non 0 / 100 % Display Brightness Buzz
- Display Hiss (temporary fix was slight downward pressure on the display, above the iSight)
- Right Speaker Distortion
I posed the question to the Genius who was helping me:
"Could you leave a note for the repair technician to use a glossy display, if indeed they need to replace the display?"
You see, I bought my MBP before they had the option to ship with glossy displays, and after using my brothers MacBook, I was hooked on the qualities of the display.
Unfortunately, the genius entirely turned down my suggestion. He said that they always replaced things part-for-part, and that it was entirely impossible to even so much as leave a note suggesting this.
Any thoughts, or was my genius just giving me a hard time?

I have problems with the display and I bought it yesterday. I'm going to make sure I don't have to send it in since I bought this one to use while they're repairing the other one and I don't want to keep buying macbooks.

Sent in for Repair on "whine"

Ok. Got the Macbook yesterday and experienced the noises. I talked to applecare today. They are aware of the display whine and said that I need to have it sent in for repair where they will fix the display inverter. The other issue I told him about was the left fan running constantly and another whine noise but not as bad as the display high pitched noise.
He wrote it all down for the techs.... and said that a box will be at my house in a few days and it will be back to me within 7 days.
We'll see if I follow through with this or now.

Iv been through this... Try calling Apple and cheack your Order status with the Order # they gave you. On Mon., I was told I should have a new MacBook in my hand within a week after they get my FedEx tracking #. Later in the day I called to give them my FedEx tracking #, then they told me I should be getting my MacBook on the 22 of March (almost a month away). The rep I spoke to told me there is nothing they can to to speed things up...

List of equipments sent out for repair

Hi friends,
we are sending some equipments outside to vendor for repair. In some cases the vendor provides a stand-by equipment until the equipment is repaired.
My requirement is to list the equipments that have been sent to vendor for repair and the list of stand-by equipments in the plant.
How can i do these?
Thanks in advance
Vivek

hi Vivek,
You can create User statusues and maintain this. For eg. 'SENT' can be created to mark those equipments which are sent outside for repair. Once you receive the equipment back from Repair you can change the status to AVLB (Available). As far as identifying the temporary equipments are concerned, you can create a separate Equipment category with a different no. range and create some equipments under this Category. Whenever you receive such equipment, you can identify this vendor suppplied equipment thru' one of this equipment no. and do installation in the respective FL. With this you can track both the sent equipments and the temporary equipments.

Bala.

Is there anyway I can find out if Apple have received my iPhone that I sent in for repair. Sent by post on 24/11/2014 and so far have heard nothing from Apple and repair status is still showing that empty box has been dispatched only.

You would need to contact Apple care about that. This is a user to user forum.

New macbook after old sent in for repair

So I sent my white macook core duo in for repairs since it would not recognize the battery. Three days after sending the computer in I received a call from apple saying that they wanted to keep my computer and send me a brand new one. Something about doing research on that particular problem. Has this happened to anyone else?

no problem at all, just trying to see if this has happened to anyone else. not only am I getting core 2, but I am also getting double layer dvd and i think i heard someone say that the wireless was improved. what else is different between the first and second generation?

Hi,
SAP doesn't provide any option for creating Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable) in standard.
Returnable Gate Pass: -
1. MM01 - Create Material Master for every Spare Part / Machinery to be sent to Vendor for Repair as Non-Valuated (Material Type "UNBW") (Do not extend Accounting and Costing views since you don't require postings of Stock value and consumption values, you only want to track the Service/Repair Charges)
2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511)
3. ME21N - Create Subcontracting PO (Here Main Material and Component will be same material)
4. MB1B - Transfer Posting w.r.t. Subcon PO (Mvmt Type - 541, Spare Part stock will get posted to Vendor Stock)
5. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
6. MIGO - GR against Subcon PO (101 - Receive Spare Part, 543 O - Consumption of Spare Part form Vendor Stock)
7. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Subcon PO
Non-Returnable Gate Pass: -
1. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511)
2. MIGO - Goods Issue > Others (Issue the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511)
3. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Non-Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
Note: - If Client is not satisfied with this then you need to go for development of Gate Pass System.
Also check transaction code LECI

IPad mini sent in for repair, what's going to happen?

I am sending my Ipad mini in for repair due to hardware issues. If they cannot repair mine and decide to send me another- will it be a new iPad or a refurbished one? If it is likely to be a refurbished one- are those just as good as new ones?

Excite sent out for repair 07-24-12 the day after purchase

I bought a excite 10 32g and it loaded up to a test tool screen right out of the box so I called Toshiba for help ,After 3 phone calls Toshiba told me to return the tablet to where it was purchased or send it to them for repair with a 7 day turn around time So I called the online retailer and they told me id have to wait at least five days before there response team could get back to me about the return so I opted to spend the shipping money and send it to Toshiba because I thought id have my tablet quicker ...... Boy was I wrong it has been almost a month and Toshiba keeps giving me the run around about what the status of my brand new tablet is last this that was said to me was the repair depot will contact you in 72 hours .Once again yeah right its been a week no call no e-mail .
I can't even give a review on the tablet but I will say that Toshiba as a whole is terrible terrible terrible!!!!!

Can you PM me with the serial number?

High Pitched Sound from X61 -- sent in for repair

So, since the very beginning of my Lenovo Thinkpad ownership I have experienced a high pitched noise when on High Performance battery power.
So I just switched it to Power Saver mode and forgot about it (Busy student, hard to find time to go weeks without computer)
So recently I sent it in to Lenovo. They replaced the motherboard and the hdd.
I recieved it today, only to find that it is still quite prevalent.
I'm wondering how many have went through the repair service for the same problem. Also, do they at the repair center just put parts in and hope it fixes it without checking?
I called and they told me it will be on escalated priority (has anyone ever been told this?) and the box will get here tomrw. Thankfully I live in Memphis where a repair center is right around the corner. (However, I go back to school the 14th)
They told me they will be replacing the fan. I'm no expert, but it doesn't sound like the fan. What can I expect from lenovo if they can't fix this problem?
Thanks,
Josh

Having trouble with my trackpad does it have to be sent off for repair

Having trouble with my trackpad,it freezes up computer whenever I touch it. Now I'm using a wireless mouse to operarte. Does this sound like something I will have to send off to be repaired?

Hey Betty2241,
Thanks for the question. Let's try a few things first:
1) It'll be a great troubleshooting step to reset the SMC:

I sent in my Iphone for repair. They sent me a replacement and it says insert SIM card. Its an Iphone, I thought they had internal sim cards? So confused.

I just received my Iphone 4S back from Apple. Sent in for repair due to unable to connect to WIF box was shadded gray. They sent me a replacement phone and when I turned it on it says to insert the SIM card? Very confused as I thought Iphones did not need a SIM card.

Hi
Don't understand your confusion as all mobile phones require a SIM. You would have installed it yourself the first time you got the phone from your carrier or they may have helpfully put it in for you and you did not pay attention at the time. A trip to your carrier may help as they may issue you with another SIM card?
Did you leave the SIM card in the phone when you took it in for repair? If so then the store that did the repair should have transferred it for you? Get back to them and ask them the question.
Have you used the SIM slot tool (looks like a paper clip and is in the box the phone originally came in) to check if the SIM is still there? Maybe it just needs re-inserting?
Just a few things you could try?
HTH?

Anyone's whine fixed after sending for repair?

All,
Sorry to keep harping on the whine issue, but I have not seen a lot on the forum from those who have their MBP's in for repair. Has anyone sent their machine in for internal hardware replacement and received a whine-free MBP in return?
Many have mentioned logic board and temperature sensor replacement? Interested to know how the repairs turned out.
Interestingly, I just received by MBP back from a white spot repair. They replaced the entire LCD and all the hardware. The best part is that on the bottom bezel where "MacBook Pro" is written some of the letters did not get filled in with the silver letter inserts, so I officially have a one-of-a-kind "MacBoo Po" It's very strange, there are indentions in the bezel where the letters should be, but not actual silver letters.

Mine just got pack this morning. the paperwork says that only the inverter was replaced, anyways its still makes a noise from the hard drive and a very very slight buzzing noise from the area the whine was coming from, but nothing like the whine and it doesn't vary with brightness, but my whine took time to develop and get louder so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can leave the Macbook running while I sleep again (I have trouble with any noises, my GF's dell drives me insane even the power brick on that thing whines)
anyways I talked to them last tuse got the box on wed shipped in at 4:30 on thurs (took it to the local hub) and got it back today.

Iphone damaged on receipt why do I have to pay for repair

We have a family contract with Vodafone, we were due an upgrade towards the end of last year and wanted an iPhone 5c in time for Xmas. We contacted Vodafone towards end of October 2014 and they said we could anytime now so we ordered the iPhone. We briefly looked at the iPhone then it was wrapped ready for Xmas. On xmas day the phone was turned on for the first time and a couple of days later we took it to the Vodafone store in Swindon to get a new sim and activate phone switch contacts from old iPhone etc.... My daughter then noticed the speaker on the phone wasnt very clear and had to use it on loud speaker....she returned to the store who said they would have to send it off for repair but it would take a couple of weeks....since my daughter is at university in Bristol she asked if it could be taken there instead. She sent it off for repair mid Jan and has just received a message saying it will cost 204 to fix as the mesh is damaged and it is not under warranty.
Surely a a fault with a phone overrides any warranty. I am disappointed with both the service I am getting.

Yes we contacted our service provider to ensure we could upgrade our phone in time for Xmas as iPhone was daughters Xmas present. provider told us we could upgrade anytime now (end out) we received iPhone and after one quick physical check wrapped it in original box. was opened on 25th and we took it to pro idea local store on 2nd Jan....told it would be sent off for repair taking up to 3 weeks....daughter at uni in different county so waited until she went back to uni to take it to providers local store there.... Sent off then received text,es sage saying the mesh was damaged and £204 for repair.....I asked how could an internal piece be damaged by her when there was no physical evidence from the outside ....told it was normally to do with the ihone being crushed!!!
SO effectively even though we physically received iPhone at end oct it was not turned on or activated on Vodafone until after Xmas....call us naive but I did have faith in Apple products and customer service
