Out of warranty repair alternat

I discovered on E-bay someone offering to repair headphone jack problems on Zen Micros for $24.99. + 9.99 shipping. He also works on other Zen Models too. I had a Zen Xtra that had taken a fall causing the headphone jack to work just on one side. I sent in my unit and I had it back in just over a week. It's a buy-it-now auction and he gives the details on how he handle the repair for different issues. I? found that he responded to e-mails? quickly and was very satisfied with the results. Do a?search for seller aav85 for the?details. I love my Zen Xtra and it was worth the expense to me to get it back in working order.

As Meg indicated, you will probably get what you have....probably refurbished.
No one here can definitively tell you what will happen at an Apple store.

How do I get out of warranty repair on Zen Xtra 6

I installed Windows Media Player and it informed me my driver was out of date. I clicked on their link and downloaded the new driver and "Play for Sure" os update. When I applied the OS update, it stopped after the first time it said my Zen was rebooting. I had waited 6 hours as it said it could take some time to complete. Now it goes to the resuce mode. I've tried disk clean up, format the disk, and delete the os then tried to flash up OS. The computer says the device is not connected despite it showing up in "my computer". I emailed Tech Support and, being very helpful, they said it is outside warranty. I responded fine, how do I send it in for out of warranty repair. They replied to call Customer Service. Now there is a misnomer if I ever heard of it. I called the 800 number. The nice lady said she could sell me a new player but I'd have to call 405-742-6622 fpr tech support. So I call the number and listen to their blurb about visiting to the website which has *NO* reference on how to obtain out of warranty repair. Then the phone menu determines I am out of 60 day complimentary support but I can get a tutor session for $2.99?I know how to use the player, I've used it for a couple years. What I needed to know was how to send it in for out of warranty repair. Back to the 800 number. Woman will help me buy a new player but says there is no way to obtain repair out of warranty but I can pay for a tutor session. I've searched the knowledge base and forums here. I see this question asked before and it seems like no one has gotten an answer. Can anyone please tell me how to get out of the Twilight Zone of Awful Customer Service and reach someone who can tell me how to get it repaired out of warranty?Or am I doomed to write off my $600 Zen Xtra as a useless paperweight?I have an Archos AV500 which needed out of warranty repair and it took me less than 5 minutes on one phone call to make the arrangements...

Did you download the PC version? There is no DOS in OSX.

Out-of-Warranty Repair Shipping

Hi all,
A friend of mine has recently sent away an iPad for an out-of-warranty repair, though in the process neither Apple or Australia Post have a record of the whereabouts of the iPad. I would just like to establish who is reponsible for the whereabouts of the product once it has been surrendered to Australia Post, especially given it was prepaid post item (Apple pays, though is paid through their online system) and there was no option to include extra cover.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Living in the US and not knowing Australian law, I would guess the responsibility is the Post, unless they delivered the item to Apple and they lost it. In the US the USPS is responsible until delivery takes place. But there is always the caveate to insure and register the item so the sender has records of its shipping...not sure if you have that capability in Aus.

How much will it cost for an out of warranty repair for a water damaged iPhone 4S in the UK?

How much will it cost for an out of warranty repair for a water damaged iPhone 4S in the UK?
I got water in my iPhone 4S (not drenched as it was within a LifeStyle waterproof case).
I dried it out in a bowl of rice, but the phone no longer charges, will not allow wifi, cannot locate network.

You have to get a refurbished iPhone. As your phone is out of warranty, you will have to pay £139 at an Apple Store in order to get it > http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne

An iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.
Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. Replacement phones have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone coverage, whichever is longer.
No one here can answer this for certain. Apple determines this. If you live near an Apple store, you can make an appointment.

I received an email with a link to check on the status of the repair. The link is BROKEN and I cannot get any information. I have looked "around" for some answers but this seems to be where I need to go.
How do I go about getting an update on the out-of-warranty repair? Thanks for any help. Gary Underhill [email protected]

My iphone5s has been opened, could i get Out-of-warranty repair service? it is still in One Year Limited Warranty

my iphone5s has some problem with hardware. And someone has opened it for repairing. but he failed. Now, my iphone5s unable to boot. But it is still in One Year Limited Warranty. I am confused whether i can get Out-of-warranty service. Thank you!

No. Apple will never touch that phone again. Go back to the "technician" that ruined your phone. Maybe he will offer you "warranty" service and give you some cash that you can use in buying a new phone.

How to go about getting screen replacement - out of warranty

Hi,
My T61p is out of warranty, and the LCD had begun displaying white pressure marks and is generally alot dimmer. Whilst i'm comfortable using computers, i'm not comfortable replacing hardware parts myself. How would i go about getting the LCD replaced and possibly upgraded from WXGA to WSXGA+? Can this be done through Lenovo, or would i be better off looking for a third party company to do this for me? If it can be done through Lenovo (which tbh i would prefer), how would i go about arranging this?
Thanks in advance for any replies

As for Lenovo not advertising, not making it easy to get post-warranty / out-of-warranty repairs, this mostly boils down to a cost to return value issue.
For every possible failure of any possible hardware-combination, you'd need at least one (bare minimum, say more likely 4-5) at every repair shop who stocks their own replacement parts, and at least twice as many at any central hub supplying said repair shops. This costs money, and as the hardware gets older, less and less demand is being put forth for work done on said hardware - hence the replacement parts take up valuable shelfspace, and is considered a too high cost vs. value.
This is the same for any type of product, really. If you buy a washing machine, it'll get harder to get parts for it after 5 years than after 2-3 - simply because maybe the only place that still has the parts is the main facility, or maybe the parts aren't even produced yet.
It's also based on a life-expectancy of the equipment - computer equipment, while more than able to function beyond 5 years of use, have a limited value after short time, simply because the development of new, more powerful parts continue. A top-of-the-line computer from 3 years ago will be surpassed by a medium to low-end machine today, for half the cost, or even less.
Hence, you get third-party service centers, eBay, etc. which can help you if your old machine have a problem - it's usually not that hard to get hold of Lenovo-parts, simply because they tend to keep design over more than one model-specter, and they sell a LOT of each model, mainly to business clients, which tend to exchange their hardware on 3-5 year cycle, depending.
I don't really think it's uncommon to see manufacturers not supporting, or providing repair options after the models' shelf-life has been terminated, and mainly all warranty-services are off. This is the same for HP, Dell, Lenovo, Apple etc. Of course they CAN repair it, for a steep fee, but it's most often not worth the cost, and very few people pay it - instead opting for doing it themselves, or having a local PC repair-shop do it.
At least, both Lenovo and to some degree HP have very good manuals available, including a full tear-down of the hardware.

Out of warranty sad iPod- what can i do?:,-(

The past week or so my 4th gen 20gb iPod has been acting a bit crazy. It started out that sometimes the songs appered to skip, or just go to the next track mid song, play random snippets of songs etc- quite annoying to say the least. i reset it hoping it would just pull itself together but it didnt.
so i moved on to trying to restore it, then the folder with the exclamation came up on the screen and when i tried to restore it it wouldnt work. i used disc utility to do a 'first aid' on it- it did show up in disc utility but not on the desktop or on itunes. the first aid showed 2 minor errors, can't remember what now, i just tried to do the first aid again but the ipod isnt showing up at all now.
it just seems the more i use my ipod, the worse it gets.
the worst thing of all is that its a month out of warranty. im a cash-strapped student that cant afford a new ipod so i desperatley want to get this one fixed. Does anyone have suggestions what i could do with it or any ideas how much an out of warranty repair would cost? i looked at the ipod service faq's and it said if you send in your ipod they will replace it but it will cost you nearly as much as a new ipod.
its also making a clicking noise when the disk spins up, it spins and stops when it clicks. a friend of mine who is studying computer science thinks it has had a head crash (whatever that means...) and that its possible to get the hard disk replaced. does anyone know if this is posible? i live in dublin, ireland, does anyone know anywhere i could go for advice or to get it repaired? i would really appreciate any comments or suggestions, bus journeys are very boring without music!
Aoife

Thanks everyone for your advice, although i dont think im going to try chucking it off any sofas. unfortunatley there are no apple stores in ireland but im contacting the 3 apple authorised resellers in dublin. so far they have directed me to an ipod repairer in the uk - www.ukipodrepairs.co.uk, if anyone is interested. its gona cost me at least 125 pounds sterling (180 euro, 220 dollars) to get it fixed- i ain't made of money people!
is it common for an ipod to go kaputt after just over a year? i feel very hard done by because i didn't do anything to it to make it stop working. could it be a manufacturing problem?

Hi, i have an iphone 4 and because its out of warranty i know it will cost me £120 to get a new 4 but how much would it cost to get a 4s?

IPhone 4s (out-of-warranty) cost of screen repair?

So I have an iPhone 4s that I know is out-of-warranty. I do not have Applecare+. Today at work my phone got knocked off a table onto the floor, and when I checked the phone, everything was working fine. But when I went to check it on my break a couple hours later, the screen was shades of blue/whiteblack with vertical lines running up and down the screen. My phone still vibrates/rings when getting a call, and it will light up the screen when I get a notification, but the screen itself has no functionality. I can't see anything. And everything else about the handset is perfect--no cracks or broken glass, just a small chip on the back bottom left corner and a small scratch on the front bottom left corner glass that have been there since about 6 months in when I dropped it in a parking lot. I know it is some sort of internal hardware issue and not a software problem because I took a screenshot of my blue striped screen and then looked at the photo via the iCloud photo stream on my PC. The screenshot looks like my normal screen with the time and everything on it. I really feel like the screen just has a connection knocked loose or something.
I know that the phone is out-of-warranty, and that I will have to pay for a repair/replacement--I don't mind having to pay to fix it--but I am wondering if it will be even possible to get it fixed at the Genius Bar, or will they just turn me away and tell me I need to purchase a brand new handset at full price (which I really cannot afford) because I am out of warranty.
Any advice?

So no chance of just getting the screen fixed by Apple? I was trying to avoid winding up with a refurbished phone.

If my iphone 3g screen has smashed and my phone is out of warranty. will apple be able to replace the phone for me or repair the screen?

if my iphone 3g screen has smashed and my phone is out of warranty. will apple be able to replace the phone for me or repair the screen?
i heard apple can upgrade my phone if a pay a specific amount? is this correct?
also if my phone is out of warranty how much would it cost for it to be replaced?

Apple does not repair smashed phones. It will replace the phone with another iPhone 3G as an out of warranty exchange for 199.00 USD.
You should check with your carrier to see if you are eligible for a subsidized iPhone 4. It may cost you the same as the out of warranty replacement for a phone almost 3 generations old.
