What does Apple do for you when your lock button is broken?

Do they replace it for free or can they fix it?

If still under the 1 year warranty and found to be a manufacturing defect, they will replace the phone for free.

  • What does Apple do for it's employees........

    Just a general question. I have this topic on different businesses for business class and what/how the company treats it's employees. Do you guys have any information that could help me on it? What does Apple do for it's employees, in terms of the type of work environment. How they treat their employees. What benefits are given to it's employees. Etc. Thanks!

    Welcome to Discussions - you would probably get an answer if you wrote to Apple Inc., 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, Ca 95014. They would be able to give you the information you want. Otherwise, go to apple.com/legal which might also have what you want.

  • How do i turn my iphone on when the lock button is broken and it wont turn on after being plugged in

    my phone will not turn on after being plugged in and my lock button is broken!!! Please help.

    Sorry, there is no other way to turn your phone on. Make an appointment at an Apple store or go to a third-party repair shop. Be aware, if a third-party touches your phone, you forfeit the right to an out of warranty replacement from Apple.

  • Keys getting dirty look--paint wearing off!  What does Apple do for this?

    This is dismaying. I received a brand new MacBook Pro (early 2008 model) from Apple only a few months ago and the silver paint on several keys is already wearing off! They're getting that dirty look. See http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=451259
    I went through something similar with an old iBook G4... On those, the keys' lettering wore off. Apple service was responsive for sure, although it was pretty silly that they kept sending me replacement keyboards Instead of individual keys or decals. After pushing by me, they even sprung for one of those iSkin plasticky keyboard covers (which turned out it interferes with typing and some say can cause a heat problem). Eventually, they sent me a 4th keyboard that didn't wear out at all. So, it seems that they fixed that issue.
    Has Apple solved this paint wearing problem for the MBP's? Do I just go the Apple Care route--again-- and do they send out an entire keyboard? What have other people experience and done?
    In this case, obviously, they can't send decals as this keyboard is the backlit (underlit) kind!

    This is a known issue with the Early 2008 MBP (as well as earlier models). It has nothing to do with dirty hands, or lotions or hands or anything else. Just from plain old use, it wears down the paint on the keys.
    The MBP keyboard keys are no longer removable one by one on that model and onward -- you have to bring your MBP into an Apple Store (or call Apple Care) - they will take it in, change it out for a new keyboard (its under warranty for one year, and if you have Apple Care for two additional years). If you are beyond the one year warranty and did not purchase Apple Care, then you will have to pay to have it replaced (probably a couple hundred dollars plus shipping).
    The turnaround for something like that is usually about a week if you have to send it in, and a day if you go to the Apple Store. The Apple Store, after deeming it a repair issue, will order the keyboard. Then they will call you to bring in your MBP and leave it for the time it is required for them to fix it -- usually an afternoon, or overnight.
    But this is a well-documented and much discussed issue over the years -- it occured to my old MBP as well. Luckily, I have three apple stores all within a half hour drive of me, so I don't worry about those sorts of things. But it's annoying if you have to send it it.

  • What does Apple charge for replacement batteries?

    I just upgraded my 2 year old iphone 4s  to a 5s
    but when I had the iphone 4s, I started to notice once it got to the 2 year mark,
    it wasn't holding a charge as long as it used to.  I mean the battery still worked,
    but if I hadn't have upgraded to the 5s,  I would have had a dead battery within
    a couple months..
    I didn't notice that myself until after I got this one. So far its held a charge for an
    entire day and my 4s wasn't even coming close to holding a charge for an entire day,
    but at the time I just thought it had something to do with IOS 7 on the 4s.
    So this leads me to my question. 
    If you purchase an iphone, and something happens to the battery,
    or doesn't hold a charge as long er something like that,
    how much does Apple charge to replace it?
    The 4s I got from the apple store online,  but because I did a trade up this time,
    I ended up getting it from Best Buy  because most of the other stores were out
    of the 16 gig model.
    I know best buy does 'em too but how much do they charge for battery replacements normally?
    I imagine its not the full price of the phone is it?

    oh ok well thats not too bad.  Good to know

  • HT1212 How do you reset when your top button is broken

    my top button is broken and i want to reset it becase it is disabled and i cant connect to itunes

    You cannot. The sleep/wake button is essential to this operation. You can try letting the battery run out on the device and see if it will restart once you connect it to the charger. If it does, then you can try the support document again that you linked to the forum with.

  • How do you get your lock button unstuck

    My ipod was in my pocket and when i pulled it out the lock button was stuck. please help

    If it's a simple fix (which it sounds like it is), you can take it to an Apple Store and they'll fix it then and there in store, probably for free if you're nice enough.

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT - What does Apple use for replacement?

    I have had 'issues' with my display on my MBP 2.4 since Jan. '08. I've documented this w/ Applecare (so there is a list of reported issues so they can see there's a problem as it's not something I can replicate at the Genius bar). It's still under warranty, but my concern, and question is this...
    I'd like it fixed. But, If I bring in my MBP (again) to Apple and let's say they say it is the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT that's faulty, WHAT WILL THEY REPLACE IT WITH? Another 'faulty' chip? [I realize the whole board has to be replaced]
    Is there a definitive answer to what NVIDIA chip Apple would use? I've read that they are using the SAME likely-faulty product. That is not good news. And if NVIDIA has acknowledged the problem, do they have a FIXED Chipset for this model?

    My best guess is that the replacement boards also have the faulty chip. The fact that the affected MBP production run all the way to the last ones made (Sep 08) leads me to believe the there is no other option but to use the same video chips. BTW please do not assume that since the nvidia chip is soldered on the logic board that it can't be replaced. These Rev.2 boards could very well be just rebuild ones with the video chip replaced at a central workshop equipped to do such a thing.

  • What does UMA do for me?

    Hi all
    I asked this on another form but no response so I'll try a broader audience...
    I know what UMA is but what does UMA mean when it is displayed on my phone (8320)?
    details;
    I have an 8320 on the Rogers Network. I have unlimited data and email with no "Talkspot" subscriptions. A Talkspot subscription is what Rogers says I need to make use of the WiFi call and inetthrough my Wifi.
    Wifi is enabled as "Wifi preferred"
    question;
    Is my phone actually using the Wifi connection when UMA is displayed? Since I don't have a subscription why does it display UMA?
    Not too broad a question I hope. I just don't why UMA is displayed when I don't have a subscription.
    What does UMA do for me when I have it displayed on my phone?
    I'll leave out my thoughts so I don't lead anyones answer.
    many thanks

    Nothing if you aren't using it. I will assume you know what UMA is, or you wouldn't be asking the question in this manner in regard to calling capabilities.

  • What does apple do if the ipod is 2 weeks old and was stolen then found but damaged

    What will apple do for you if what does apple do if the ipod is 2 weeks old and was stolen then found but damaged

    If the damage is due to a manufacturing defect, they will unquestionably replace it.  If the damage was caused by misuse or mishandling, such as dropping, Apple is obliged to do nothing.  Your best bet is to go to the Genius bar at an Apple store and explain what happened, perhaps they will replace the iPod.  Also, If you bought your iPod with a credit card, check with your card company.  Some cards provide Purchase Protection insurance which will replace or repair any item lost, stolen or damaged within 90 days of purchase.
