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.

    my iphone got damaged and i want my contacts from icloud backup onto my windows pc ,please help

    You can't access your iCloud backup from your PC.  You'll have to export your contacts from icloud as a vCard, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606, which can be imported to Google then exported as a CSV file that can be imported to your PC.

  • Iphone water damaged and needs reset

    I need to restore old iPhone before i send back to assurion.  It says i need to access the icloud to turn off "find my phone app." i can't access old phone through screen as it is water damaged.  is there a work around? i can plug into my mac and i have new phone.  they say they will charge me $300 if phone is not reset.

    $149 US, adjust for your location. If the iPhone has been opened
    (how else do you know about the broken connection?), Apple
    may refuse to deal with you - but you lose nothing to try.

  • Water Damage and Replacement

    If an Iphone 5 got water damaged can I replace it or do I have to pay full price for a new one?

    Here is an excerpt from the regular warranty (which does not cover liquid contact):
    This Warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries or protective coatings that are designed to diminish over time, unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; (c) to damage caused by use with another product; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external cause; (e) to damage caused by operating the Apple Product outside Apple’s published guidelines; (f) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”); (g) to an Apple Product that has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; (h) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Apple Product, or if any serial number has been removed or defaced from the Apple Product.

  • TS4036 My old iPhone got damage and sprint changed it when I try to restore from iCloud I don't have the option to choose the latest back up instead it restored a version that is like 192 days old. How can I see the restore that I want?

    Hello
    Today I got my iPhone 4s changed from sprint and when I enter my icloud information it gives me an old backup (196 days old) and I back up automatically all nights , there was no choice to select which one I wanted or anything. So I ended up loosing a lot of important information, all the pictures and everything that I did the past 196 days. I try to see if there is a place on the web that the back up data is displayed but I haven't found anything. I have a lot of important information on icloud, to the extend that I even pay for more space because I use the  iPhone as part of my work. Can someone please explain to me what has happen and if there is a way that I can recover my information? I am desperate it is very important. Thank you very much!

    Once in a while the restore process seems to mess up.  What I don't understand is why you would perform a weekly restore.
    At any rate, if you must restore, perform a device reset (settings>general>reset) and then you will have the opportunity to restore from iCloud.  Restore a device whenever it no longer works correctly, not just as a matter of maintenance.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  • How to access a TM back up of an HD that was damaged and replaced

    Hi,
    My HD gave up the ghost after running very slowly for a while on my MacBook Pro 17" 2006 model using OSX Leopard.
    I bought a new MacBook Air running OSX Lion but did not recover from the Time Machine on Airport Extreme as a friend told me that files there could have been corrupted as well.
    Anyway, I replaced the HD on the old machine but again decided to do a clean instal in OSX Leopard. Using a caddy I selectively pulled in all my files and documents including my iPhoto Library. I set the TM on this new HD which did not use the old sparsebundle. So this is now a complete new backup.
    However, I need to recover a few old photos which somehow disappeared from the new iPhoto library. I am sure that these are still on the old TM back up file. But I cannot get to it through the TM application.
    Is there anyway I can get access to previous backups using either Leopard or Lion?
    I have consulted Pandini (I think that is what it is called) but they do not seem to have an answer to my specific problem.
    Many thanks
    Tariq

    Thanks LaPastenague. The two links were a great help. I finally managed to get access to the backup.
    It was actually some photos I wanted and particularly the descriptions that I had laboriously typed in that I wanted to recover. This was all done on iPhoto 8. Although I was able to recover teh individual photos using OSX Leopard the descriptions did not show up at all nor were these recovered sadly.
    Luckily the original photo which is a group photo, the type you do of teh whoel class when you finish your year at school, is still accessible but is a few thousand miles away. I will need to get someone to send me all the names on these photos.
    Thanks for your help. At least, now I know how to get to old TM backups.
    Regards
    Tariq

    What you can do is, go to Settings-> facebook-> Your name-> delete account-> delete-> remove facebook info.
    This will remove all the fb contacts. but before you again sign your fb account into your iOS, have the option of contacts set to off.

  • Iphone water damage without coming in contact with water or moisture

    Hello, I am long time apple fan/user. I bought an iphone 3 months ago. I really love this phone. I took very good care of the phone carrying it around like a baby making sure nothing happened to it. I upgraded to 3.0 and then a day later I upgraded to the new version of facebook. The update was taking a long time to load so I decided to cut the phone off and restart it. Once I cut the phone off, it would only come on and show the apple logo and cut back off. I took the phone to my local apple store. The guy at the store took the phone in back and return saying, the phone had water damage and the only option I had was to purchase a new phone.
    At no time have I dropped this phone in water, left in bathroom during a shower, carried in my pocket (I have case for belt), left in extreme temperatures, transport from cold/cool climate to hot, etc. How is it that I have water damage?
    After posting this dilemma on FB, I received several responses saying they had the same diagnosis for their iphone. Is there something that can be done to better equip these phones for the elements? Can a plastic cover be design to cover the port for the charger and insides ( like other phones have that snap into port)? Please give feedback. Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks,

    Well I have a short story to tell. I had the exact problem with my 3G. I tried to download the latest 3.0 update and it did the Sync just fine but when it went to download the update the phone froze up and also locked up the computer. We tried to RESTORE the phone but all I ever got was a USB indicator and an iTunes logo on the screen. Finally I called Apple Support and they said to send in the phone or take it to an Apple Store to get it Restored. I choose to take it 40 miles to the Store and immediately they got out their little magnifier and looked in the ports and told me that the phone had been dropped in water---This phone has never been wet ! ---We asked for the manager and he had the same lame story that we had ruined the phone by getting it wet and the phone needed replaced but not under warranty as the warranty did not cover water damage. When I informed him that it was not water damaged and the problem occurred during a program update he basically called me a lier and said everybody tells them the same story. I asked the manager to at least try to reset the phone as I felt there was no water damage and he refused as he said it would ruin their computer. We called Apple support again and spent 2 hours on the phone as she had me remove and re-install iTunes and other settings to no avail and she told me to take the phone to an Apple store. A couple days later my girlfriend took the phone to an Apple store and sweet talked the Genius into RESTORING the phone without looking at the moisture indicators [both were pink] The phone restored perfectly and she was out the door in 15 minutes with a perfect working phone. We now are on record that we have an operational phone regardless of what color the moisture indicators are. This phone was a replacement for the original new one as it crapped out early after purchase and it probably had pink indicators when we got it. This is a great marketing scheme on Apples part to get current customers to purchase new phones and then use these same [faulty]phones for replacements for under warranty phones. This issue is rampid on the web it would behoove Apple to change their policy. At least they should install the indicators in a place that a sweat droplet will not trigger the indicators like other phones where they are in the battery compartment. I wasted way too much time on this issue and have placed an edict at my company not to purchase iphones anymore. i love the phone but do not have to live with Apples policy.

  • Liquid damage - Apple replace at a certain price?

    Hi,
    I dont know if this is in the right forum however when I was in Australia I got my iPhone water damaged and then went to the Perth Apple store and they said that they would replace it at $199 AUD.
    Does the UK offer a similar option as I never got around to doing this in Australia.
    regards
    Sven

    Yes, but you can only have the phone replaced in the country where it originated.
    If it was originally purchased in Australia, you will have to take it back there or send it to someone you know there to take it in for replacement.

    You can see about purchasing an out of warranty replacement if it qualifies. They certainly will not give you a replacement, since it is more than likely user damage.

    Hello!
    When there is unauthorized modifications on the iPhone Apple doesnt replace the product. Unfortunately you will need to get a new iPhone!
    If you could have contacted Apple when you broke your screen you would be eligible to get a replacement after paying the Out of Warranty service fee.
    All the best!
