Will Apple replace my charger for free?

Got my macbook in august of last year. The charger just recently stopped working about three days ago (I haven't done anything to it. The part that actually plugs into the computer is fine, I believe theres something wrong with the wiring inside of it.) Will they replace it for free, or will I have to end up buying a new one?

Did you purchase AppleCare prior to your standard warranty running out? 
Why not call AC & ask them if they will replace your Magsafe for free and/or take your MBP & the Magsafe to the AS or an AASP? 
Last resort would be to call Apple Customer Relations.  See what they can do for you.

  • 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!

  • Battery cycle count of 390 - will Apple replace my battery for free?

    I've got a MacBook, late 2008 model. It has a cycle count of 390. I have no idea if this is a lot or not. The MacBook only will work when connected to the charger, the battery won't charge any longer.
    Will Apple replace my battery for free? Or is a cycle count of 390 high and will I have to replace it myself...

    No, battery is consumable under apple warranty so you have to burchase it. 390 cycle is ok, the effect will be seen when it reach <1000. see this is mine MBP, early 2011

  • Does Apple replace your charger for free

    I've had a couple of chargers since I got my iPhone 5 a year ago. I've always bought a new charger, but lately someone brought to my attention that Apple can replace your charger for free.. I'm just wondering if that's true.

    If the iPhone has been covered by an extended warranty beyond the one year so that it is still covered and the charger is not damage but has a problem with materials or workmanship then yes Apple will cover it.

  • I smashed my ipod 4th generation screen, it still works and i have my one year guarantee, will apple replace my screen for free?

    I still have my guarantee, could i go to a apple store to replace the screen for free?

    No, accidental damage is not covered by the warranty
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

    The following will void the remainder of the warranty

  • Will Apple replace my iPhone for free?

    So, last November I bought an new, 32GB Black iPhone 4S at a local Verizon Wireless store. Tonight, I noticed that the sleep/wake/power/lock button would not press down and was not responsive. I have come to the conclusion that I somehow jammed it into the phone.
    Since there is no Apple Store nearby, I plan on taking it into a Verizon Wireless store tomorrow. What do you think they will tell me? Will they replace it for free, or open it up to fix it themselves? I have not jailbroken the device, so my warrenty is clear.

    If it is defective, then they will replace it.
    ONLY Apple can tell you this.
    Based on what you said, I would guess that it is likely.

  • My iPhone 4 ( still under warranty ) has a dead gyroscope. Will Apple replace my iPhone for free?

    I recently upgraded to IOS 7. Once I upgrade I noticed that the gyroscope in my phone was acting strange. Just recently it went completely dead. If I take my phone to the Apple store and they verify it as a hardware issue will they replace my iPhone? It is still under warranty. Also since Apple stopped making the iphone 4 will they give me a newer version? Thanks

    If  your warranty is still valid and there is no evidence of abuse (water damage, dropping, etc.) your phone will be replaced for free with the same model refurbished iPhone 4.

  • Will Apple replace iPad charger? Still under warranty.

    Will Apple replace IPad charger for me? Still under warranty.

    If it's not working as a result of a built-in fault, yes. If there's damage that you've caused, probably not.

  • TS2771 My ipod touch will not hare no matter what and I've tried many different cables and different ways to charge it. What should I do? If I complain to the Apple store co. will they replace my ipod for free?

    My ipod touch will not hare no matter what and I've tried many different cables and different ways to charge it. What should I do? If I complain to the Apple store co. will they replace my ipod for free?

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • Hi, my 4th generation 8gb white ipod charger port is broken, would apple replace my product for free if I'm not insured?

    Hi, my 4th generation 8gb white ipod charger port is broken, would apple replace my product for free if I'm not insured?

    I doubt it since that type of damage is caused by the user, not a defect. You can always make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and ask
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99.

  • I smashed the screen of my iphone 5 earlier and it was bought just before christmas, i was wondering will apple repair the screen for free or swap the phone?

    i smashed the screen of my iphone 5 earlier and it was bought just before christmas, i was wondering will apple repair the screen for free or swap the phone? the phone is still working fine, just the screen needs changing by the looks of it.

    Why would Apple replace or repair the phone for free? Will a car manufacturer replace or repair the car you drove into a wall for free? If you sit on your spectacles, will the optician give you another pair for free?
    You can get an out of warranty replacement phone for $199 in the US, similar price in your local currency.

  • I found some little black dots n my iPhone 5 screen. I've only had it for 2 weeks. What are they and will apple replace my iPhone for a new one or fix it?

    They should have one in Stock, but you never know. Call your Apple Store and tell them you have an iPhone 5 color and GB, and that you most likely will need a replacement, do they have any in Stock. If yes, go in, if not ask for advice on how to handle your problem.

  • Will apple fix your computer for free if you have guarantee

    I was walking with my macbook open when suddeny i fainted, my macbook fell off my hands and i was unconcious so i idid not see it fall or where it hit, when i noticed it fell i paniced the system worked perfectly so i was okay. Later that day i was checking it to make sure and the bottom right corner is bended a little and seems broken with a bit missing, the black thing connecting the screen with the bottom is popping out and when i flip my mac it wouldn't stay shut, it would open a bit. one of the screw drivers is falling off. My mac screen cracked and they fixed it for free already one time, would apple fix it again for free. I am really worried because now my macbook will not close completly and im scared that the screen will start getting lose. Is there any way possible to fix this after i woke up from fainting i saw my computer closed and flip i think it fell on it's side. would apple care for this, it has less than 1 year of use so i have guarantee but i think it is only for system issues. Please help im really scared, If they won't fix it for free how much do you think it would cost to fix it   Thank you
    Please tell me if something like this has happend to you and how you fixed it

    Since you dropped it the damage is not covered under the warranty (read your warranty.)
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

  • Will Apple replace my ipad2 for the second time

    My first  ipad2 had a white spot on the screen and i took it to the center and the technician replaced it. It took bout two weeks for me to get the replacement ipad. Just now i found that my replacement ipad is a refurbish ipad, not a brand new as what the technician said. Refurbish serial number starts with DK.
    Now, my replacement aka refurbish ipad has another problem not caused by me. Refer here for my initial posting,
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17698611#17698611
    Will apple replace it with another refurbish ipad? Or hopefully i can get a spanking brand new just like when i bought it. :)
    Hopefully apple do not have the so called " one time replacement policy" as this is not my fault.

    The warranty is still valid, with 6 months remaining...
    Im fine with refurb item from apple as the refurbs are being put into test much more rigorous than the original. Spec wise n performance should be equivalent as the new one.
    But, its just a feeling of unhappy or unsatisfy.
    Imagine you bougt a brand new car, then ur car got defect...u proceed to the dealer n walla, they agree to replace ur car. But the replacement car is refurb/second hand car that has been put into 'new condition'. Dont you expect that u should get a new car instead of refurb? Coz u paid much money for the new car, not for a refurb car. Unless, in the beginning you buy a refurb car then u have no right demanding for a new car for replacement.
    NEW CAR= NEW CAR FOR REPLACEMENT
    REFURB CAR= REFURB CAR FOR REPLACEMENT
    back to philly_phan question,
    in the very very very first place when i have defect on my ipad, i sent in my brand new not a refurb ipad to the store, n the technician said it was going to be a new ipad for replacement,  not a secondhand/refurb whatsoever. I asked him thrice for conformation on this matter. But in the end................... and now the refurb is having a problem rite now.
    Again, it just the issue of unsatisfactory not an issue on the spec or performance.
