Screen went gray need to be fixed under international warranty?!

Hello,
I just bought Macbook Pro 13.3 inch, md 101 i believe is the 2010 model from Dubai last month. I bought it in Computer Plaza which is the place most people in Dubai go for a good deals.
After using 1.5 month the screen went blank, after power up it shows apple logo and then screen turns to gray, i can see and move the mouse cursor, the keyboard lights are on. I tried many tricks like safe mode start up and some sort of resets that i read on macbook threads, nothing has worked. So, I beleive according to some owner the problem is either on logic board or Nvidia. To get it fixed or replaced I have to go Authorised Repair Shop, but there is no one in my city (Dushanbe, Tajikistan). Planning to fly to Dubai in couple days, so please advise where should i take it? Since it was bought without local/Dubai warranty, only International warranty exists. Can it be still fixed under international warranty in Dubai? if yes, where?
Apperantly, when you buy apple products in Dubai, they ask you if you want local warranty or not, if you say you dont need local just international they reduce the price.
Please advise, macbook owners from Dubai or anybody that has solution.
Any advise is appreciated.
Max

Problem solved by simply
-restarting in Safe Mode- power up holding shift key
-when the screen turns to gray and you see the mouse curson tyepe the first letter of your username hit enter
-then type your password, hit enter
-you will see beach ball cirlcling after that installation starts and all back to normal.
Apparantly, i did not go ahead with needed update and close the lid when the update was going after that i could not get my screen to turn on. Thanks to Apple Support Community the problem is solved. I wish I could tag that person's thread but i dont have to do it.
Thanks All!

    Is there an "APPLE STORE" in India or you just went in a reseller store?
    There is a replacement program for sleep/wake button for free. Just look for an Apple Store and make a reservation at Genius Bar.
    I have an iPhone 5, bought in Dubai U.A.E.
    It is a US model (model A1428) which is different of the model use here in Italy/Europe
    My serial number is qualified for battery replacement program.
    I thought the Apple Store wouldn't repair my phone because I bought it from another country , a different model and it is already out of warranty.
    The Apple store's staff just checked if my iPhone's serial number is eligible for the program and he replaced the battery for free today.

  • Cracked screen on ipad2 need to get fixed cheap

    i need to get my  ipad screens fixed cheap where do i go

    The standard 1-year Apple Care warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship, not damage due to accidents.
    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation

    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

  • I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner. The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. Can I still get it fixed under my warranty? (bought last July)

    I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner (where the wireless area is). The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. So I am wireless-less... I bought it last July and its still under warranty, but can I still claim a repair on it?

    No because it was physical damage

  • Vertical colors 'take over' screen--system freezes--need to reboot--fix?

    always had trouble with the screen going black and having to re-possition it.now these muti-colors appear ...logic board?
    thanks

    Yes, it sounds like you may be having logic board problems. You may know that enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from this problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and if the symptoms look familiar, give Apple a call. If your iBook qualifies, it's a free fix.
    If you are past the three-year time limit, try calling and asking for Customer Relations (NOT Customer Service--they can't help you) and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case.
    Good luck.

  • If I bought Iphone in USA from oficial Apple Store, can I change it in my country under international warranty?

    There is an oficial re-seller of Apple company in my country (Kazakhstan). I called them and asked, they said the international warranty doesn't cover Kazakhstan. Hello how come? (.  I really disappointed of Apple company,  I thought Apple take care about its customers all over the world that's why people love Apple, but in my case I can't do anything. Apple is losing a market sense. What a shame!!!!

    There is no international warranty on iPhones.  The warranty is only valid in the country of sale.  That should have been made clear if you told the sales staff you were planning on taking the iPhone out of the US.
    You can see if there is Apple support in your country from the listing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • My iphone locked up.  Screen is gray and no buttons work.  Can anyone help?

  • My macbook 2008 screen went black a few months ago. I've been using it with a monitor. Today it's working. I have a feeling it's going to die at any time. Is it possible that a software patch fixed this ? Is there a utility I can run to test the screen ?

    Model : Macbook 2008
    Symptoms: The screen was, intermittently, going black last year and then went black completely. I have been using it on a monitor ever since.
    I can see the screen with a flashlight.
    I completely erased the drive and loaded OSx 10.7. I believe that's the last version of OSx Mac will be supporting on this computer.
    When I booted up the computer this morning the screen came on !
    While typing this question, my screen went black again, not to return.
    So sad.
    I did bring it to Apple and they believed the entire screen needed to be replaced.
    They say that they tried a new inverter and it didn't work.
    I have a feeling I'm just out of luck unless I want to cough up the $300 to fix the screen.
    Although it is a solid machine, 2Ghz processor with 4 gigs of ram, it is still six years old.
    I imagine that's like putting a new transmission in a 95 Honda civic. Yeah, it's a reliable car but it's old and it's probably going to break again.
    I love my mac so much but I can't justify buying a new one or  paying to fix this old one.
    I have a Gateway dual booting Windows 7 and ubuntu linux that's actually pretty slick and has taken it's place on business trips and coffee shop excursions.
    If anyone has any thoughts or feedback I'd appreciate it.

    The current Apple hardware warranty provides the following coverage for replacement parts:
    A replacementpart or product, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance withinstructions provided by Apple, assumes the remaining warranty of the Apple Product orninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coveragefor you.
    Check your particular warranty and see where you stand as to the period of coverage.
    Good luck,
    Ray
