Warranty void after repair ?

Dear other iPhone users,
Two weeks after taking possession of my iPhone 6 it fell out of my breast pocket flat on the ground, the screen shattered. I blamed myself, and went - here in Kenya where I live and bought the iPhone - to the Apple service repair centre at Elite Digital.
As they had offered a free insurance on the phone I 'only' had to fork out around 110 USD to repair the screen.
A week later I notice that the repair wasn't carried out correctly, the screen was loose and came out on the top, allowing water and dust ingress.
Back to the service centre where it came back 24 hours later apparently repaired.
The iOS 8.1.3. came out and during the update there was an error message (error 53 - very revealing !). I again had to get in touch with the staff at Elite Digital who let me know that this was a hardware issue and I had to send the phone over.
A day later I got the message indicating that as the phone had been broken the warranty was void and that therefore they wouldn't replace the phone free of charge, but that the above-mentioned insurance would cover but that I had to fork out AGAIN 110 USD.
Now, as the repair was done at an authorised repair centre I expect the warranty not void. It's not because the screen was broken, badly repaired, repaired again, that the warranty of the phone isn't valid anymore - at least, that is my understanding of things.
Thanks for your feedback and view of this message. The supplier is dragging its feet and unwilling to replace the phone which, according to him, indeed has a hardware problem but now seems to say that this is my fault.
Thanks for your feedback,
Cedric

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. I don't see that there's anything that fellow users could do here. If you want to take the matter up with Apple, use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to do that.
Best of luck.

Will my warranty be renewed after repairing device in the store?

Hey everyone,
I purchased my Macbook Pro Retina in April 2013, recently dead pixel appeared there and I took laptop to apple store and left it there (they said that it will be repaired). So, basically, question is, will my warranty be renewed after repair (so I'll have it till january 2015 and not april 2014)?
Thanks guys.

April 2014, not January 2015. If you purchase Applecare, the warranty will be extended to April 2016.
Ciao.

Macbook Pro Glass replaced by 3rd party - warranty voided?

Hi, when i purchased my macbook pro (feburary 2011 model), after some months, i accidently cracked the glass infront of the screen.
As we all know, apple charges a ridiculous amount to get it replaced as from my understanding they replace the entire lid.
I also purchased the apple car protection plan when i bought the laptop.
I had the glass replaced by a professional store that specializes in this for aobut $150.
They just replaced the glass which was the only problem.
Is my applecare protection package and inital 1 year warranty voided?
Are there any markers the appl employees can tell that it has been replaced?
Thanks in advanced!

It wasn't replaced by an authorized apple service center.
Just by a repair shop.
The call support center is closed at the moment.
It would be very unfir if the $400 odd it costs for the protection plan to be voided only a year after the purchase making it completely a waste as it adds an extra 2 years after the first year.
So, do you think it would be voided since it wasn't done by an auth apple center?
The status of its warranty online says it is all in tact obviously, but if i brought it into the apple store if a problem
arised, and they open it up for repair or whatever, if nothing was damaged when the screen got replaced, is there anyway they could tell it was replaced?

Warranty void due to multiple dents on edges?

currently my ipad display distorted as it still have 6 months warranty so i send in for repair.
but they said can't repair only replacement.
Now they said can't replace it as it has many dents on edges so warranty voided.
that not fair i just bought it for 6 month and the dents were already there for since first month i bought.
so the distortion wasn't caused by the dents.
Does anyone encounter such problem?

Some not insignificant physical trauma caused those dents, and Apple cannot just take your word that the dents didn't cause your problem. Especially since the duration of time between the denting and the problem doesn't mean a darn thing. I once dropped a MacBook Pro on the floor and, despite a big dent, it worked fine... For a month, then the logic board finally failed. Following physical trauma, problems can crop up at a later date, they don't have to occur right away.

Will installing a new operating system make the warranty void

I just bought a HP G3 200 Series 250 Core i3 from Indian online store. The current operating system is free DOS and i want to install windows 8 on it. Will that make my warranty void ?

Hi: Doing that will not void the hardware warranty but HP will not offer any software support if you install another operating system. Bear in mind that there are no W8 64 bit drivers for that model, so I suggest you upgrade to W8.1 after you install W8 or install W7 64 bit.

Warranty void stick

Hi,
I just purchased my creative zen touch a matter of hours ago. it has finished its first charge and i have gotten a few songs uploaded. However, i recently discovered that the warranty void sticker on the bottom of the device is now half covering the front and back sections. It is on the back cover only but there are symbols etched into it.
The packaging was fine. it was sealed and brand new.
Could someone shed some light on my confusion?
Thanks

Sounds like a question only Creative Support can answer, and there's no guarantee you'll get an answer from them here (as per the disclaimer at the top of the forum).

Warranty void on Apple engraved products?

Can anyone help me? I'm thinking about buying a 3rd Gen Nano from the online Apple store for my daughter for Christmas and getting it engraved, but I've been informed recently that if I have it engraved it will void the warranty, is this correct?
I have also read the limited warranty and nowhere does it say anything about deeming the warranty void if the iPod is engraved by them.
Any advice welcome, thanks.

Engraving it does NOT void the warranty. (I presume you're talking about the engraving service that Apple offers? I don't know what would happen if you, say, had it engraved by a jeweler or did it yourself.)
What you can't do, if you order it engraved, is return it. So, if you're daughter doesn't like it, you're stuck with it. Unengraved, it could be returned within the standard return period (don't remember what that is. 14 days?).

Firefox crashes 2 seconds after startup. This happened after repair upgrade to Windows 7

After repair upgrade Firefox (9.0) would not work. I finally un-installed and re-installed it without success. Following your support guidelines I tried deleting my profile with partial success in that with a new profile Firefox would run once then revert back to an apparent crash after 2 seconds (as seen from task manager). After every new profile created it followed this same routine of working just the once. Any help would be appreciated.

Try a "clean reinstall" of Firefox by removing the Mozilla Firefox installation directory before reinstalling it, as explained in these articles:
*[[Basic Troubleshooting]] - see the "Reinstall Firefox" section [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_7-reinstall-firefox here].
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall (MozillaZine's KB article is currently unavailable)
If Firefox still crashes after a clean reinstall, try the suggestions in the [[Firefox crashes]] article [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes here] and, if possible, post a crash Report ID, as explained at the end of that article.

URGENT: I lost the Lion Partition after repairing the Windows 7 partition

URGENT: I lost the Lion Partition after repairing the Windows 7 partition
I have recent bought a new Macbook Pro and then I start doing all the necessary setup. This is the first time I do such setup with bootcamp myself anyway.
1st: normal MacOS setup, the Lion version has been setup perfectly.
2nd: run the bootcamp and setup the Windows 7, done perfectly as well.
3rd: try to partition and resize the harddrive with the Lion installed and create 2 new FAT partitions (now 4 partitions in total: 1 for Lion, Journaled, 1 for Windows 7 in NTFS, 2 for file sharing purposes in FAT). See if I can have better partitioning to do necessary organisations.
4th: When I want to restart in Windows to see if the newly created 2 FAT partitions can be read in Windows environment and can function norally, the Windows setup does not show at the start up page when I hold the "Option" key during the startup. I then try to restart again, still no such partition but boot directly to Lion.
5th: I tried to repair the Windows 7 with the start up disc and then it worked. I can also see the 2 newly partitioned FAT drive work normally.
6th: When I want to restart in Lion, I cannot boot the Lion OS and I cannot find the start up icon on the startup page even with me holding the "Option" Key.
7th: "MacOS Installation Utility" appears. I tried to repair but cannot as I have neither the Lion setup disc with me (coz the Lion has been pre-installed) nor a time machine backup/ any other backup image to load from.
8th: Tried to "erase and install a new copy of Lion", the partition where the Lion has been previously installed cannot be shown, now indicate itself as "freespace" and not able to be selected for my "erase and reinstall" process.
9th: so I go to 2 other FAT drives to do as the instructions to try "erase" and hope the "reinstall" process can be started. But the Disk Utility ends up saying the drive cannot be dismounted/ cannot verfy...
At the end of the many tries, I tried to shut the computer down and restart again, hopefully something will work still.... the startup page now shows a disk image with ?, I guess NO OPERATION system/ drive detected for booting. So I got a piece of metals without any use now...
Anybody help? Thanks alot!!

In Windows, go to Control Panel -> System. Do you see a Boot Camp option? If you do not, please download BC drivers as appropriate for you specific Mac year/model System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support
and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers.
The other option is to use

My system software has crashed, and I am hoping to use an apple certified data recovery specialist in Atlanta. Who can I use and still have my warranty coverage after attempting to recover the data?

How to track materails of machines after repair.

Hi experts,
How I track the repairable material after repair along with equipment no. Suppose I have 1 press machine having 100 motors of different rating & suppose I maintained itu2019s sr no .Then is it possible to get the equipment no in IW81 refurbishment selection screen & how I track material of specific machine from sr no.
With Regards,
Avi DDS

Have You Created 100 Motors of Press Machine as Individual Equipments , if that's the Case Then you can create Synchronization of Serial number with Equipment Number in Material master of Motors of Differnt Rating.
Result You get Serial Number same as Equipment Number or Name, this way you can search the individual Equipments of Press Machine.
Otherwise Assign serial number i.e,, Name of individual Equipment or Name of Main Press for individual Material at the time of Refurbishment Order Creation
Equipment No in refurbishment order is given in "Objects" Next to Quantity in Order Header Tab .
Regards,

Warnings notice after repairing permissions

Any idea of what's causing these warnings? Is this a problem I should correct or worry about?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This looks like a carbon copy to the message I found after repairing permissions. It happened as well after installing Mac OS X Leopard. I verified my Startup Disk, it checked out ok. The reason why I did these repair and verification moves was because my Toast 8 crashed each time upon trying to start it up. I had no problems with it before, neither with any prior Toast version, down to Toast 2 (I believe, I started with Toast 2). When I installed the Leopard I did an upgrade only, not an "erase and install." I just dreaded to do a zillion re-installations of all applications. I hope somebody comes up with some good suggestions. Or is it possible that this has to do with those typical bugs that seem to be unavoidable at the release of a new system software?

Can you help? -- Browser Webpage Loading Problems after Repairing File Permissions with Disk Utility

Hello,
I have been experiencing extremely slow startup times and slow application startup times for the past month on my 7-month old iMac.
I read in many places, including the Apple communities, that "repairing file permissions" using the Mac Disk Utility would help. So I ran it and now all my browsers including Safari and Firefox will not load or take 5 to 10 minutes to load a webpage - especially websites that have login features (eg. Gmail, Facebook, Hotmail).
As of my last re-start, Firefox will not load webpages and Safari is extremely slow at opening anything.
Has this problem occured for anyone after "repairing file permissions"?
And can anyone assist?
Thank you,
Shane

The Solution?
REINSTALL OSX using the Install DVD.
I called APPLE Support and we went through a troubleshooting process to rule out Network Issues, Software Issues, File Issues and Hardware Issues. This process was very thorough.
In the end, we used the Operating System Installation DVD to reinstall the system, which took about 60 minutes including downloading the updates. Reinstallation did not affect any files or lose any applications. Everything was as I left it -- nothing was missing. Easy.
Now everything is back to normal.

Keys (MJU) are not working after repair

Hello,
I've sent my MBP early 2011 for motherboard replacement, as affected model.
After repair service inform me some keys are not working anymore (MJU), thay asked me 290 euros for repair
What should I do? Anyone else had the same problem?

I never managed to get the keys to work again, but maybe I haven't been holding them long enough.
I have read somewhere that Apple ask for more than 300€ (USD 400) to change the keyboard, so I am considering opening myself my Crapple Crapbook Pro and change it myself.
I am quite ****** actually. A keyboard shouldn't die like this with no reason less than 3 years later. My Powerbook G4 that I used a lot much more than the Macbook is still working fine.
