Possible Apple Care Void for my iMac

I Bought my iMac in September 2006. Support is about to end soon.
If it has ran fine for almost a year, anyone out there still reccomend purchasing the Apple Care Extension Plan?
I'm a student so it comes out to $119 for me.
BUT One Problem !!!!!!!!!
My problem is. I accidentally plugged the DVI adapter into the Ethernet port without looking. The Adapter actually made a snugged fit but later found out It was wrong when there was nothing apearing from the Second Monitor.
For that happening, one of the little pins in the Ethernet port broke off and now the Ethernet port can't receive any Juice, Luckily for me I still have Airport. Though I have lost Gigabyte ethernet, though I will never use that.
I'm questioning if this Voided the Warrentee Coverage?
I would like to know if it's still elegible for the Apple Care Plan, that way I shouldn't bother if it is voided?

However if your logic board later died from unrelated causes, they are very likely to still replace it, which would get you a new ethernet port too.
I bought an iBook G3 with a broken ethernet port (like, broken off, it wasn't there anymore) and a broken logic board (normal iBook G3 failure). Apple replaced the logic board, and in the process, I got a new ethernet port

  • Apple Care Protection for previously purchased iPod...

    Is it possible to buy an Apple Care plan for an iPod that has already been purchased and not purchased from an Apple Store?

    It's over the 1 year warranty by about a month and a half. Would you recommend I try and have Apple service it or take it back to Best Buy?
    (It has already been determined through a previous thread of mine that it NEEDS to be serviced or replaced so I know something must be done)
    THANKS!

  • I opened my iPhone but did not change anything is my apple care voided

    Is my apple care void if I open but do not alter my iPhone

    Yes, fortunately you can still get a warranty from iSmart Protection Plan or Squaretrade. You have other options, but yes - your warranty is void.

  • Apple Care plan for MBP

    Does anyone know why the Apple care plan for MBP is more expensive than all the other Apple care plans? Even the Mac Pro has a cheaper plan. It doesn't make sense to me.

    It's obvious to me. My Mac Pro sits in one place, undisturbed. It has a generous, efficient cooling system. It's easy to service.
    My MacBook Pro is carried around town. It's jostled back and forth in my bag as I walk, or as my car goes over bumps. I'm always putting it on tables, creating a slight impact each time. It goes through a lot more power/temperature cycles as it sleeps and wakes. The components are smaller, tightly packed, more expensive to disassemble and service. A laptop goes through a lot more stress and trauma than a desktop, so a laptop is much more prone to failure.

  • Apple care contract for ipad

    does anyone know if an apple care contract bought in the uk would be valid in belgium?
    My mother (uk based) wants to buy an ipad for her grandchildren (living in Belgium).  She doesn't know if it makes sense to buy the apple care contract or not?  If the thing breaks down in Beligum and it has to be sent to the UK every time, that will cost more postage than  sending it to somewhere in Belgium.
    And it woudl be even more wasted money if Apple refused to repair the ipad because it was being used outside the country of purchase.

    It should have been registered by Apple when you bought it online. Go here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do and check.

  • Apple Care Coverage for Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    Last year I opened thread about Apple Care Coverage... and finally I did, purchase apple care for my mbp mid 2012.
    unfortunately, my macbook pro date & time keep changing each time I turned it off. I already tried to reset SMC but it is still not working.
    looks like my battery died (like PC, it has battery to save date & time) right? also, I have some issues with my display, it showed something (like dead pixel) but only when I put my display on full  black color, pixels is showing kind of white/grayish color.
    Plus my backlight keyboard (some of its keyboard tuts) is not so bright like normal.
    those 3 problems above, Can I claim it to Apple Authorized Reseller (Indonesia doesn't have Apple Store). to fix it for me for free? or will I get charged for price?
    does Apple Care cover up these 3 problems?

    The only thing that I can think of that may not be replaceable under AppleCare is the battery: Apple considers the batteries on MacBook Pros to be 'consumables.' But it's worth a shot.
    You may not have problems getting the battery replaced and your AppleCare should take care of the other problems.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Apple Care - Coverage for broken display? iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    next week I get my new (first) iPhone from Vodafone (Germany). An iPhone 4S, and as all know, the display is very critical. My old phone, fell very often down, but it was an HTC desire and so nothing happen. But I think, with a iPhone 4S I have not so much luck.
    That the reason, why I think about Apple Care. Is there a Coverage for broken displays?
    Or do I need Apple Care+? If I need Apple Care+, is this available for germany? Because I don't see it at the german page. I think I can buy it, but accept the apple care+ me from germany?
    And second question. Do I need the Apple Care for the first year of my iPhone? Because it's free for the first year if I understand it right, and then can buy it for the second year? Or do I understand it wrong? If this it right, again: are broken display covered for the first free/included year?
    Thanks for your help
    schnuffi

    Broken displays are only covered if they were a factory defect at the time of purchase. Otherwise, they result from user negligence which is not covered under the warranty.
    AppleCare Extended warranty is an addition to the one year default warranty. You can purchase AppleCare Extended Warranty any time before the one year factory warranty expires which is one year from date of purchase.

  • Does Apple Care Plus for iPhone provide International Coverage?

    I purchased my iPhone 5 (GSM-Unlocked) on vacation in Miami with the additional Apple Care Plus, and I was wondering if my iPhone was damaged in any shape way or form could I bring it to an Apple Store in Holland for repair services. E.g. Shattered glass of the screen?

    No. It is only valid in the country of origin. Just like the original warranty.

  • Apple care protection for MBP early 2011

    Apple care came with TechTool Deluxe but my early 2011 MBP came with Snow Leopard. Now that I have Lion, Tech Tool states that it has not been fully tested with Lion. Short of buying a new copy, is there a way to get Tech Tool for Lion?
    Thanks
    JAW

    Well, I ran the progran anyway, TechTool that is and looked for updates within the program and it said I was running the latest version 3.1.3. I ran the program and it crashed. I was the crash test dummy.

  • Apple Care plan coverage old imac mid 2011

    Can Apple Care Plan protection coverage on imac osx Lion mid 2011 or late 2011???

    Only if you purchased it within your first year of ownership. You cannot purchase it once your original one year warranty has expired.
    Apple does not usually sell refurbished computers more than one year old. You can buy AppleCare when purchasing a refurbished model from Apple.

  • Apple Care Registration for Macbook Pro

    Hi all, I bought a Apple care together with my MACbook Pro, but the thing is once I register it doesnt go through after "3. Provide your address information" item 1 and 2 is finished and has a check already but doesnt go through. No next button or ok button. But some details are seen at the left. The only thing clickable is the signout. I signed out. Then signed in again and it tells me I have no apple care registration. Any ideas? Thanks!

    If you're still having issue and haven't received email confirmation trying ringing Apple support to register it with them:
    800-186-1087

  • Well i have the apple care plan for my iphone and i lost my headphone what do i do to get another pair? Can i still get them for free?

    I would greatly appreciate any help with this thank you!

    I'm afraid you will have to buy another pair.  Apple Care is an extended warranty, it does not cover Theft, Loss, Damage by user.

  • Apple care plus for stolen/lost phone

    I have apple care plus and I know I can pay a fee to replace my phone if it's damaged, but does this cover a lost or stolen phone as well?  Can I pay the 49$ fee to replace my phone if it's missing?

    No. AppleCare+ only covers damage, not loss or theft.
    Regards.

  • Apple Care question for my Powerbook

    Hopefully here is the right place to ask that..
    I have a Powerbook which is obviously out of warranty And one of my keys popped off and I was making a research to find a solution fixing that.. I ended up with the apple's support page . It was mentioning about I should pay for scheduling a phone support for that and I accidentally scheduled for this weekend. I didn't intend to do so since my issue can't be fixed over the phone.
    So I was just clicking continue to see what my options are . I was expecting to be asked my credit card # the I would close the window but it did schedule the call some how. Weird thing is it did not even ask for my credit card or anything..
    I know it might sound a dumb question but am I really going to pay that or if possible how do I cancel it..
    Any experience?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Usually if you submit a request to do a repair it is with a store, not a phone call. Contact the store in question and simply cancel your appointment. If it was by phone, you can always call Applecare, and just let them know of the accident. As for repairing keys, http://www.welovemacs.com/ is a place that often has keys for Macs.
