Will apple replace this under apple care?

Hi,
I have apple care and was wondering if if would cover a new battery as it is under performing and its been properly maintained. the stats are below:
MacBook pro, 13". Late 2009 model. (integrated battery)
Age: 13 Months
Cycles: 252
Capacity: 80%.
I have read that apple have said that at 80% this macbook should have 1000 cycles!
Thanks,

at 80% capacity, you might struggle. When mine was a just over a year old, I took it in to get it looked at. Had 112 cycles and was at 75% capacity or there abouts. He said they dont normally replace batteries, but since mine was so bad after such a short period, he would do it.
I reckon you could get it get it replace, but you would have to talk the guy round to it. And if at first you dont succeed, come back and try with another guy
Nowadays (I'm out of warranty by a few years) I just dont bother with my battery. Its shot, but I can live without it. Its capacity now is 12% and it last 4 minuets off power before the laptop just shuts down without warning. But I hear there's some cheap alternatives on ebay.

  • The small white bracket underneath my Enter key broke, does apple cover this under warrenty?

    I got the 13 inch Mmacbook Pro for Christmas about 3 weeks ago and I started having issues with my "Enter" key almost immediately out of the box. I didn't see a huge probably with it until it started to get worse. Now if I press the top of it at all it comes out. I think the small, white bracket underneath the key broke because when I examine it, there is a small portion of it missing. Could have just been a production flaw or something. Either way, I wanted to know if Apple covers this under warrently. I have no problem going to Apple if they can fix it and I have looked everywhere for the part to see if I can just order it. Thanks!

    You have a 1 year warrenty against manufacturing defects.
    Use it now at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store.
    Also this is evidence you will want to buy AppleCare to extend the hardware warranty to 3 years.

  • My iphone 5(not S) screen popped out, the whole screen and digitizer, will they replace this if i go to the apple store?

    my iphone 5 screen has been cracked but i recently dropped my phone again and the whole screenpopped out. its still attached by a black cord but now the whole screen is just black and i cant use it at all. will the apple store replace my screen or will i have to get a whole new iphone?

    You may need to buy an entirely new iPhone. Before when the screen was just cracked you could have got an out of warranty replacement for a fee but now the screen has popped out and will most likely be classed as catastrophic damage.
    At the link http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/ it says:
    What type of damages are not covered by my warranty?
    Apple's Limited Warranty for iPhone excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications. Please review the warranty for further details.
    An iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details. Refer to this article to check if the Liquid Contact indicator on your product has been triggered.
    If your iPhone is not eligible for warranty service, you may wish to contact your carrier for other options.
    So all you can do is take it into a Store and they will make the decision.

  • Has anyone had problems with Domayne using generic third party RAM for memory upgrades? My RAM is now faulty and had to be removed, but Apple wont replace it under Apple Care because its not a genuine component?

    The computer was purchased in the knowledge that all components and hardware were genuine and subsequently covered by the Apple Care warranty.
    Domayne replaced the genuine components (8GB stick) with generic components (2x 16GB sticks) to save money and boost margin.
    Apple should not allow this misleading, profiteering behaivour. This behaviour is brand damaging. Apple must maintain more control over their supply chain.
    Has anyone had any expirenece with this problem?
    Has anyone made Domayne or other third party resellers acountable for this misleading behaviour?
    Thank you.

    Stick with Brand name RAM and reputable distributors.  Mac is finicky about low quality RAM
    Try OWC http://www.macsales.com/
    Crucial http://www.crucial.com/
    Most RAM comes with Lifetime guarenntee so return it where you got it.

  • 69% Health after 106 cycles? will Applecare replace this?

    I have a new Multitouch 15" MBP running 10.5.5. I always take all the steps I can to conserve battery life,(screen all the way down, wireless and bluetooth off, IR receiver off, dashboard off, etc.) whenever I'm not plugged in, which isn't terribly often. I also never use high power things like gaming or photoshop or whatever unless I'm plugged in. Apple states %80 after 300 cycles, Im at 106 cycles and have 69% health left. Will applecare send me new battery? (I'm recallibrating now to make sure of these numbers) Thanks!

    You won't know for sure until you call them and ask..

  • If you crack your ipod while it's under warranty will Apple replace it?

    If you crack your ipod while it's under warranty will Apple replace it?

    Apple doesn't repair it.  If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit.  The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

  • Apple EarPods not working ("Gummy" holding wire to jack gone), Will Apple Replace Them?

    I bought the EarPods separately from my iPhone on August 19, as the ones that came with it also broke the same way, at an apple store in Denver (where I live). They have warranty and everything, but will apple replace them under the warranty? If need more details on how they broke: the white, thick strip around the meeting point of the wire and headphone jack input came off, and first the left side stopped working then the right side.

    If you have ruined two sets, I suspect it is the way you are treating them. From what you describe it sounds like undue strain is being put on the jack, like maybe you are unplugging them by pulling the wire instead of grasping the jack. Or maybe the phone is allowed to dangle from the cord.
    At any rate, if they replace them, and only Apple will be the judge on this, you should pay attention to any possible undue strain you are putting one the cord.

  • Will apple replace a broken screen if the iPod itself still works fine?

    I dropped my iPod and the screen is totally shattered but the iPod itself still works with everyday use and it still syncs with my computer. Will apple replace this for free?

    Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee (damage is not covered under the iPod's warranty); see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair".
    Regards.

  • HT1476 my iphone 5 chargers wires got twisted and now wont charge. will apple replace it?

    iphone 5 charger has been acting up the past few days. would have to tilt it tomake it charge. now it will not charge at all. will apple replace this? i have only had it for two months.

    If you are referring to the cable, all package contents are included with the iPhone's warranty.
    Each warranty claim is on a case by case basis. If Apple determines this was not caused by accidental damage or abuse, the cable should be exchanged under warranty but only Apple can answer this for certain.

  • My 3 week old iphone 5 has fallen on to a rug and the screen is cracked! I have an appointment at the apple store but i have to travel a bit to get to it. Will the replace the phone or send it away? I don't want to travel for nothing.

    I have recently got a new iphone 5 and I dropped it on to the rug on top of wooden flooring and the screen is now cracked. I have made an appointment at my nearest apple store but i still have to travel quite a bit. Will apple replace this phone or send mine away? I don't want to travel for nothing.

    If you are in the US ,some Apple genius bars are replacing screens at this time if  your local store isn't offering that service or you are not in the US  there will be an out of warranty exchange unit for $229
    make sure you back up everything as if you exchange your iPhone will go and the Genius bar do not provide a backup service
