Will apple replace a macbook if it is missing screws in back?

out of no where my MacBook which is less than a year old stopped working, so i tried taking off the screws myself to see if there was something inside the computer. When i put the screws in a few of them fell out a few days later. I really need to get my computer replaced but it is missing a few screws... will this count as "damaged" and void my warranty?

Check your warranty status here > Apple - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
It's up to Apple whether or not the warranty will cover the repair cost.
Take your Mac to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider > Apple - Find Locations
They won't charge anything just to look at it.

Will apple replace my macbook pro?

Hi
I have a problem with the trackpad on my macbook pro 13''. not all the time but sometimes it feels loose and when you click down it it it clicks twice instead of once. i took it to the apple store and they altered the trackpads clicking space beneath so it clicks down further but this has not helped so i was wondering if apple will replace my macbook pro. however there are a couple of small scratches on the shell of the macbook pro which obviously have no effect on the working order of the trackpad but will apple refuse to replace my macbook with this cosmetic damage? also i would also like to know if anyone else has had the same problem with a loose trackpad that doesn't click correctly. thank you

robc10,
if your MacBook Pro is no longer in its warranty period, then they will not replace it. If it is still in its warranty period, refer to its warranty in your region to see whether replacement would be an available option for you.

Will apple replace my macbook lcd display if still under warranty ?

Please help me ASAP

Is the MacBook LCD physically damaged? Physical damage is not covered by the Terms and Conditions of your limited warranty.
If the MacBook LCD is flawed or defective then it's replacement would be covered by your limited warranty.

Will apple replace the L shape MagSafe Adapter the pins are sticking causing late 2011 macbook not to receive charge.

Will apple replace the L shape MagSafe Adapter? The pins are sticking causing my late 2011 macbook not to receive charge.

Yes, Apple will replace it if you are still under warranty. Otherwise, as in my case, you will have to buy a new one.
I purchased my MacBook Air July of 2011. Approximately four months later the adapter stopped working. I brought my MacBook and the adapter to the Genius bar. The adapter was replaced because it was under warranty. To make sure the problem was not something I did as I didn’t want to duplicate, I inquired and was told some adapters just have problems. After two weeks, I noticed the rubber coating to the wire bunched up on the L end that connects to the MacBook Air on the replacement adapter. I returned to the store and was assured that my concern was unwarranted and that since the adapter was working fine I was fine and that if it stopped working I could just return it. On 11/22/12 it was not getting power. I returned to the store. After being asked where I returned the adapter when I originally had the problem (same store) I was informed that the replacement adapter was only covered for three months, to be happy it lasted as long as it did, and I would need to buy a new one for $61. However, the store didn’t have the adapter I needed and could buy the 60W adapter for $79. I was told I could go up, just not down. Before leaving, however, I asked if I was doing something wrong with the adapter and how long the new one was covered for. He inspected the nonworking adapter, pointed at the where the wire connects to the base and said no, usually people have their cords pulled from here but yours looks fine. On the plus side, the rubber coating around the wire of the new adapter appears thicker with no chance of sliding and bunching up. Glad Apple fixed this issue.

I have 2 2006 macbooks that have chips. Will apple replace them for free?

Hello, i have 2 2006 macbooks that have palmrest chips. One is black and the other is white. the lack one also has a chip in the top left corner of the screen. I have heard of people getting the replaced for free bacause of faulty construction and wear and tear. Will apple replace the palmrest fro free? What about the chip on the top left of the screen? The optical drives dont work on either too. How can you fix that? Thanks!

The only one who can answer this question is the Apple Genus after the MacBook has been inspected.

Old macbook RSS, will apple replace logic board and heat.

Will apple replace my logic board if I experience random shutdown? and if will replace it, it will be the board with duo core 2 on it? because I have the old macbook.

When I got mine replaced for RSS, I had to prove it. This was in early July, when it was a relatively new problem. I also convinced them to replace it rather than take it in for repair, but that's extremely unusual.
I've read posts on these message boards that since early September, some stores will just take it from your hands and start on the "new heatsink" paperwork as soon as you say "random shutdown." But that's not a guarantee that it will happen.
There as also a way to make RSS happen, but it didn't work for everybody. Search in the discussions for "yes > /dev/null". If that procedure works for you and shuts down your MacBook, then you can also do it in the store.

Dropped my macbook will apple replace for a cost

dropped my macbook pro off my desk it still works but there is a noise that sounds like the fan will apple replace the laptop for a cost the same way they do with the iPhone ?

Yes, Apple has an Out of Warranty replacement, but frankly you'd be better off buying a more current generation of iPhone.

Will apple replace fake magsafe charger

hi i have bought a macbook from a dealer it is still in warranty
the problem is that the charger is a fake and is now not working i recived the charger with the macbook pro will apple replace it if they will what shall i say to them

Did you purchase the MBP from Apple or an Authorized Apple service Provider? If so, the charger should be genuine.
If not, then the resolution of this problem is between you and the vendor of the counterfeit charger. Apple is not under any obligation to rectify problems as a result of actions by unscrupulous vendors.
Ciao.

Will apple repair my Macbook Pro with my parts?

I got a mint condition bottom case for $50 on Ebay. The part number on the bottom matches mine perfectly, but i do not want to void my apple care to swap out bottom cases. Will apple replace my bottom case without voiding my warranty for a labor cost? if yes, what would you estimate this labor cost to be?
Part number A1226- Santa Rosa 2.4 Ghz Bottom Case for Macbook Pro

I've never know Apple to perform an in-warranty service with a customer's part, ever. Now, that's not to say that a 3rd party, authorized service center would not. But they're technical not "Apple" just authorized to perform repairs.
You could certainly contact your local Apple Store and propose the situation to them but don't be surprised if the end result is not in your favor. The bottom case is a fairly significant repair, it involves a full disassembly of the machine so it'd fetch a fairly high labor cost from the 3rd party I'd imagine as well.

Will apple replace power cords?

Unless you purchased the options AppleCare+ extended warranty,
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $99 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

Will Apple replace scratched Mac OS disks?

Okay, the first month I had my MacBook in June, it was perfect, but than after awhile, I noticed that when you closed the MacBook, the screen, was a little slid to the left, so It wasnt aligned right with the keyboard part, and when the BlackBook is open, the top part of the bottom case is coming off and I can slide a fingernail through it. Anyone know what I am saying?
But anyways, I decided, I was going to call AppleCare and get it sent in. But before I had to do that, I wanted to erase the hard drive, since I don't feel comfortable passing personal information through my MacBook, and its not like I had any real important files on it. So I put the Mac OS disk in to erase it, and now the disks are so scratched up that they won't work unless you keep on putting it in and like on the 5th try it will work.
So 2 questions:
Will Apple repair the case problem?
Will Apple replaced my scratched MacBook disks?
Black MacBook 2.0GHZ I 512 MB RAM I 80 GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.7) Also have an iMac G3 TrayLoader 333 MHZ

Does the issue with the case affect the performance
of the computer? If not, Apple may consider it a
"cosmetic" issue and those are not covered by the
warranty or an AppleCare Protection Plan.
If the computer scratched your disks, then yes,
AppleCare should replace them and service your
optical drive. If you scratched them, then they may
charge you around $60 to replace them.

not really doug...although the bezel disallignment is cosmetic, it is clearly a factory defect, not like scratches or something like that...think discoloration

Will Apple replace my battery for free?

I have a first gen 15" macbook pro - one of the first production runs which was subject to the battery recall in 2006 (remember? the one that apple insisted had absolutely nothing to do with Sony's exploding batteries...)
That battery was subsequently replaced under warranty in May 2008 - i had 3 year hardware warranty because i bought it through my uni. However in January this year, it's performance seemed to degrade somewhat so I called Apple - I was told that because Apple had already replaced it once, they would not replace it again, despite it still being within warranty, well below 300 cycles and capacity being in the region of 50% of initial according to Coconut Battery. I was told all i could do was try to calibrate it. I did this and things improved enough for me to drop it. Wish I hadn't because the warranty ended in February.
I am now in the position of no longer being under warranty and the battery capacity degraded to about 25% of initial capacity. Since i installed Snow Leopard I have had the Service Battery warning. Has anybody had any experiences with Out-Of-Warranty battery replacements? I'm thinking of taking it to an Apple Store but don't want to bother with the journey if they won't replace it - i'll order a non-apple higher capacity one online!

"Will Apple replace my battery for free?"
No one here can answer your question because this is a user to user forum. You will need to call Apple yourself & ask them.
"Condition: Check Battery"
Means you need a new battery which you already know.
"Has anybody had any experiences with Out-Of-Warranty battery replacements?"
Not me personally. However, there have been cases reported here (if you do a fourm search) some users have had their batteries replaced out of warranty. Apparently, Apple does this on a _*case by case*_ basis.
Your best bet is to call Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2775 plead your case politely & see what they can do for you.
Good luck!
