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 scratched iPod touch for free?

    Yes unless:
    If Apple determines that an iPod is not repairable, for example, if it has failed due catastrophic damage or the iPod has been disassembled into multiple pieces, then Out-of-Warranty Service is not available and the iPod will be returned. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.
    If they do the excahnge price is:

  • Will Apple replace NVIDIA graphics card for free?

    I've read a lot of discussions on here about the failing NVIDIA cards and Apple having to replace the entire motherboard. Some users have had the experience of Apple replacing the card free of charge, others have had to pay a hefty price. Is there any logic to Apple's discretion of the charge? If so, how do I navigate the "genius" system to avoid a fee? I am, of course, interested in paying as little as possible as this is obviously a manufacturing defect and the costs should be covered by the manufacturer; if there is not going to be a TOTAL RECALL!

    My MBP is only 7 months and its health is already 85%!  Please let me know!! Thank You!!
    Not quit sure if we are are talking about one or two batteries.  Where are you getting "health id"  ??? numbers.
    Non-the-less you can option click on the battery icon menulet in the upper right. What is the stated condition?
    You can recalibrate the batery if you have never done it.

    This may help.
    Otherwise I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider  (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store,  make a reservation.

  • I dropped my I pad mini, will apple replace it for free?

    I dropped my I pad mini for the first time, and the top of the screen cracked. Will apple replace it for free?

    The screen protector protects against scratches on the screen, not breakage.
    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.
    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 generation
    $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

  • My iPhone 5 dies at 20-24% it doesn't go all the way to 0%. Will apple replace my phone or fix my phone for free since its hardware problem and I have no money. This is my second iphone 5 replacement.

    My iPhone 5 dies at 20-24% it doesn't go all the way to 0%. Will apple replace my phone or fix my phone for free since its hardware problem and I have no money. This is my second iphone 5 replacement. I have no apple care so I'm worried. My phone has NEVER touched water! I only get 1/5 of battery use. I've also spent 30$ at the apple store on screen protectors for nothing! I really don't have 220$ nor 50$ I am on a strict budget. I believe I have to pay 220 not 50 ford a phone replacement for accidental damage. I don't know what category this falls under. I really need a new phone or battery. HELP! Will I have to pay? Also my screen lighting is all topsy-tervy every I put my screen on highest it won't work I have to wait about a minute? Forgot to mention that my apps exit out by themselves all the time when Im using them.

    So, have you tried a reset?  Restore from backup? Restore as new?  You seem to have a few problems but do not mention any action taken to resolve them.  What have screen protectors to do with anything?

  • 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.

  • Iphone 4s front glass screen smashed. Will apple replace for free if I have Apple Care?

    Iphone 4s front glass screen smashed. Will apple replace for free if I have Apple Care? Can I do it in any Apple Store? I bought it in EEUU

    Sorry no
    the iPhone can not be serviced anywhere other than the US
    The warranty is NOT international it is only valid in the country of purchase
    AppleCare + as explained is also NOT international it is only
    valid in the US
    This is why all responders recommend against buying in USA
    you are resident in another country
    Just for reference an iPhone purchased within the European Union
    can be serviced under warranty in any member EU state
    However that does not help you

  • My iPhone 4 got stolen and it has apple protection care, will apple replace it?

    My iPhone 4 got stolen and it has apple protection care, will apple replace it?

    If you mean the Extended Warranty, then, no, Apple does not replace stolen or lost iPhones. If you have theft protection through other insurance, then report it to your agent. Be sure to report the theft to the police.
    I would not hold your breath waiting for it to be recovered, however. Very few items like iPhones that have been stolen are ever recovered.
