What to do with a broken iPAD?

If you drop a brand new iPAD and are told that it is broken, what are your options???

Accidental damage isn't covered by the warranty, but Apple do a repair (i.e. replacement) service - I don't know what country that you are in, but in the US the price is (from here) :
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
New iPad
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
And here in the UK (from here) :
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
New iPad
£256.44
iPad 2, iPad
£206.44

  • What to do with a broken original iPad?

    Is there anything that can be done with an original iPad if it doesnt work?  It was dropped and the video card was loosened.  I know this because it happend with another of our iPads.  The screen was distorted and when though a few different colors then finally the display died.  Anything I can do with it? I checked the recycle option but they said it was worth $0.  It has a few scratches on the casing too.

    it may not make financial  sense but you could get an
    out of warranty exchange for $249 if "a like new " iPad
    could be gift or what ever

  • What to do with a broken Bluetooth keyboard?

    I have an Apple Bluetooth keyboard with non-working keys: Tab, Caps Lock, left Shift, Q, W, E, R, and T. All the others work fine, and I can successfully pair it with my PowerBook. I took it apart to investigate and confirmed what I had suspected: Some water I had recently spilled on the keyboard had corroded the contacts on those non-working keys.
    So, the keyboard is basically useless to me now and I'm wondering what to do with it. I see three options:
    1) Throw it away.
    2) Sell it on eBay as "parts". Maybe somebody's kid pried off a key on their keyboard, and they're willing to pay me $10 for replacement keys instead of buying a whole new keyboard.
    3) Replace the corroded membrane with a new one. This would give me a working keyboard, but I don't know where to get a membrane (unless I buy another keyboard, of course).
    Any suggestions?

    I ended up putting it on eBay.

  • What to do with a broken screen of my iPad 4?

    I dont want to pay the 300 to replace it. actual price is 400 for a brand new

    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.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    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, Air
    $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

  • Synchronizing a new iPad (iPad Air2) with an Existenzgründer account and what to Do with Thomas older iPad  (iPad3)?k

    Hi Folks,
    I'm about to order a new iPad Air2, but I already use an older iPad3. How can I synchronize the new one with my account and what is going to happen with my old Pad? Do I have to reset it and what is the exact procedure for doing so? First synchronizIng the new one and then resetting the older one, or the other way around?

    You never pay for apps twice (unless you use multiple accounts).  So feel free to delete apps you dont think need to stay on your ipad 2.  When you get your new ipad you can go the app store and go to "purchases" and redownload all your apps free of charge.
    However, i suggest that when you set up your ipad you "restore from a back up" of your ipad 2 this way your settings and app data are transfered to your new ipad (this will not effect the old ipad).  But you can have the same app on more that one device, in case you were wondering.

  • What to do with a broken iPod

    Can anyone give me any info?
    Like where to send, what to send, or if they can do it at a Apple Store.
    For my problem, I think it is something wrong with the harddrive inside the iPod
    Dell dimension 4600c   Windows XP  

    Well, first thing is this: replacements are free IF you are under warranty (and the technicians agree the iPod has not been abused).
    If you are under warranty, the fastest way to get your iPod repaired is to go to an Apple store.
    Next best thing: fill out a service request form: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/. *Note: if you've had the iPod more than 6 months, you will be charged for shipping.
    If you aren't under warranty, I recommend checking out third-party repairs like www.ipodresq.com.
    Any other questions?

  • What to do with an old iPad

    Hi there
    I have just upgraded from iPad 1 to iPad Air - and yes it is a big jump !
    The ipad 1 works fine - just very slow.
    I want to clean up the old iPad and make it useable for my parents to use for internet, email etc. I would be pleased if someone could povide some tips on how to delete all of the apps and data and optimise it for its new role.
    Thank you in anticipation.

    If you were using iCloud on the iPad, delete your iCloud account and also sign out of Messages if you were using it.

  • Unsure what to do with my broken 80gb classic.

    I have just received a 80gb classic as a gift from my work, it arrived tuesday and was working fine, i updated it to the latest firmware and loaded all my podcasts and music on and its been great since.
    Today i dropped it. straight vertical fall onto the headphone jack.
    in doing so, it appears that the screen has disconnected itself but in a way that it is still active because the screen shows bright white. I just restored it back to default and the Peso is working so im sure it is just the screen. the only other damage is to the headphone jack which is dented but still usable.
    I live in the UK and i am unsure whether this possibly minor problem that i have diagnosed myself is actually in requirement of Apples full repair price and im unsure how to go about returning the product.
    Can anyone help?

    Apple will fix and probably has flat-rate costs depending on how much damage they find.
    No, they won't. If Apple find the iPod has been accidentally damaged, they'll simply return it and might even charge a diagnostic fee.
    This is a quote from the repair terms and conditions.
    +"Apple reserves the right to refuse service on iPods that are outside their warranty if damage has occurred due to accident, abuse, misuse or unauthorized modifications. In such event, Apple will return your original iPod to you without providing service, and may hold you responsible for diagnostic fees."+

    I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1!  This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

    I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
    However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
    Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • Apple wants to charge for a repair but won't tell me what's wrong with my iPad

    So my iPad mini is 1 year and 5 days old, and it suddenly won't power on.  Nothing, even with a different charger and cable.  The Apple website said to send in for battery/power issues, so I filled in the form and gave them my credit card for a little over $100.00 and sent it to them via UPS.  That was 2 days ago, now I get an email saying they need to charge me $225.95+tax and I have 48 hours to either pay it or have them send the unit back.  Nothing on their repair status tells me what is wrong and why the sudden increase in price for an iPad mini repair.  I can call or chat online for another $19.00, but that seems like hiway robbery to me.  I mean, I already paid you $100+, can't you even tell me what you found that needs another $225?!?!?  On the repair status, there is an area called views of your product with a broken image file, so I can't even see what they are referring to.
    If I way the $19, will they even be able to tell me anything, or will they just read what I can see on the webpage?  I'm starting to think it will be cheaper to just buy another iPad mini at this rate.
    Has anyone any advice ?

    Well, I called Apple and talked to them last night.  They were surprisingly very friendly.  They emailed me a picture of the iPad with what they were concerned about.  Now there is a dent in a corner, that I know wasn't there before.  I take create care of the iPad and use a full bumper case.  I explained to the repair tech that this dent is new and was not there when I took the iPad in for UPS.  Actually, when I took the iPad to UPS, I had the unit in the original box (I'm OCD that way).  The guy at UPS told me to take the iPad out of the box and then he weighed the iPad, some bubble wrap and an empty box.  He then said it was good to go and I walked away with the original packaging.  I honestly suspect the damage happened at UPS.  Plus a small dent in a corner shouldn't affect battery, right?  Anyway, after talking with a few people at repair, they noticed that their records show the iPad being 1 day out of AppleCare. 
    The last guy was going to just charge me for the battery replacement, which I am good with.  But, guess what, Apple can't partial charge, it's either all or nothing.  So, after about an hour of being on the phone, they will repair or replace the iPad at no charge to me (just this once, only). 
    I have to admit, that calling and talking with these guys was very helpful.  Everyone was friendly and cheering.  Plus I wasn't calling India (no offence to India).  I am definitely going to continue purchasing Apple products if this how their support works.  If only Cisco could learn to work that way...

  • I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad.  What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

    I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad.  What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

    Thanks.  The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to.  The one is was synced to was stolen.  If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?
