...will either insurance or warranty cover this?!

My husband's iphone 3Gs screen has gone irreversably white. We're not sure if it got bumped somehow or what. We've tried powering off/restarting/reseting. No structural or water damage... will either insurance or warranty cover a replacement?!

Entirely up to the Apple employee you show it to. Only Apple can judge whether or not it comes under the warranty. Any sign of accidental damage will of course void the warranty.

  • Will my iPod nano warranty cover this?

    So I've had my iPod for a little over a month and the screen is kind of damaged and I wondering if my warranty would cover that. Please help. And thank-you!

    The warranty and AppleCare only cover manufacturing defects and questions relating to normal usage. Third-party insurance policies may cover other types of damage.

  • My Ipoud touch has a rainbow screen, not dropped and no cracked screen, will 90 warranty cover this?

    My Ipoud touch has a rainbow screen, not dropped and no cracked screen, will 90 warranty cover this?

    If it's not damaged (water, fallen, etc.), you will have warranty if you bought it less than one year ago.
    Visit your local Apple Store or Apple Premium Reseller to let them repair (actually replace, in most cases) your phone.

  • Hello, my MacBook just fell on the floor and there is a massive smash on the rear aluminum part. Is it fixable? Does the warranty cover this type of damage? If not, how much would it cost me to get it fixed?

    PS: I bought it on the USA, but currently living in Brazil . I guess though there is a apple store in the shopping mall.

    Accidental damage is not covered by warranty. As to cost to fix, we can not say as we do not know what internal/external components were damaged. Take the computer to an authorized repair center for assessment and estimate to repair.

  • I have a crack in my rear-facing camera does the warranty cover this repair? It's about 5 months old.

    If it was caused by a defect thenyes.  If caused by accidental damage like dropping then likely not. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out.
    If it is only a cosment defect, the warranty does not cover it.

  • Does warranty cover this

    My Ipod screen is popping out in the top left corner
    the cameras cover is popping out
    the aluminum is all scratched
    and there is a scratch on my screen
    does warranty cover all this?
    and what will they do?

    If you wreck your car does the dealer you bought it from fix or replace it?  No they don't because that's what insurance is for.
    Its the same thing with you iPod.  If it doesn't work because it wasn't built right, or because some internal part was defective, then Apple will (under the terms of the original manufacturer's warranty and at their discression) repair or replace the device.
    Additionally, just like a car dealer will not replace your tires, windshield wipers, or light bulbs at no charge, Apple is under no obligation to fix or replace your iPod because you failed to take proper care of it.

  • Will Apple Care extended warranty cover broken glass?

    Or, for that matter, will the 90 day warranty do anything for broken glass on a 4G?

    I was wondering the same thing.  I have an iPhone4 with the AppleCare plan.  Although I have had my phone and AppleCare plan for a year, I didn't bother registering the plan until tonight when my glass broke (from a fall of about two and a half feet).
    My paperwork for the AppleCare plan says that it simply extends the warranty.  That tells me no coverage except for manufacturers' defects.  However, when I went to register my plan at the Apple support website, I was redirected to this page for details of the plan I had just registered.  http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    Quoting from that page:  "Every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone1 and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.2 Whether you use your iPhone with a Mac or a PC, just one phone call can help resolve most issues."
    This would seem to imply that for a $49 fee, I can get my glass replaced.  Anybody know if that's the case?
    The plan I purchased is called "AppleCare" in all my paperwork.  However, this web page indicates "Applecare+".  Anybody know if there is a distinction between Applecare and Applecare+? 
    My guess is that sometime in the last year, they added that "two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee" sometime in the last year.  And when they added that coverage, they changed the name from AppleCare to AppleCare+.  But that's just a guess on my part.  Anybody know for sure?

  • Will the 1 year warranty cover scratches on the back of my iPod touch? Perhaps give me a new itouch?

    I have quite a few scratches on the back of my itouch, one really long one. I was wondering if I could go to the store with my "1 year warranty" and get a new one? My 1 year warranty is almost ending, so I wanted to see if this would work. Thanks

    No. The warranty states:
    This warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries or protective coatings that are designed to diminish over time, unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; (c) to damage caused by use with another product; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external cause; (e) to damage caused by operating the Apple Product outside Apple’s published guidelines; (f) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”); (g) to an Apple Product that has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; (h) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Apple Product, or if any serial number has been removed or defaced from the Apple Product.

  • Will the warranty cover this at all?

    I have read the warranty but it's rather vague, in short I don't want to ship my device off to have them deny it and make me pay £20 to get it back. It's a waste of their time + my time and money.
    I have asked this somewhere else so I'm just going to paste what I said there, why retype it right..
    "My sony xperia z2 freezes quite frequently (perhaps 5 times a week), it's fully up to date and I've tried the repair option as recommended by sony support. This was no help.
    I wasn't too bothered, I'm pretty lax when it comes to that sort of stuff, but today I got home and the sim/charger port cover has gone, it must have fell off somewhere.
    The device is less than a month old and is still under warranty, I was wondering if either of my issues are covered by the warranty? I was thinking if the freezing issue is, maybe they'll be nice and throw in the port cover whilst they fix it.
    If I send it for repair and they say it isn't covered I face a ~£20 fee to get my device back, but I could just have purchased the cover from ebay for £6 (but I worry about that as these covers are what make the phone 'waterproof' so using some chinese knock off isn't ideal in my eyes)."
    Thanks in advanced

    if your have dropped the port cover it is not something that will hinder sony to open set.
    but be sure that water did not enter the phone because it could be a cause of freeze in such case. if you are sure water has not entered phone then there is no harm sending it in. but before sending it in. remove unnecessory applications or games and try. if it do not work then reset the phone to factory setting and try and if it is still same send it in.

  • Will warranty cover this?

    The white coating/sheath on my friend's Apple adapter is coming off exposing the wire inside. Here are the photos he took:

    As the computer was bought in April, it is under warranty. Is he eligible for a replacement or a repair?

    "Bad design" is a subjective viewpoint. There are many people who for lack of understanding of electronics may damage their cables without meaning to. When people ask for lightweight design, they are going to see sacrifices. Until power supplies of all notebooks can be made lightweight enough to be incorporated inside a 7 pound notebook so that the same power supply as a desktop computer can be connected, we are going to see some fragility that if not paid attention to, may lead to fraying. No one makes a 7 pound or lighter notebook with such a power supply that uses standard power supplies for desktop computers that are an inch thick. The problem is people want bags that are light enough to tote around without breaking their back. It is a side effect of our out of shape society that we see such designs. Your best bet is to follow the tips on my article, and hope that nothing frays. I've had two such power adapters and followed those tips, and both adapters have lasted more than 4 years without fraying. Yes, advertising does appear to show that the L shape prongs can be used, but many have found the cable does get frayed too easily when they are used. We can't guess Apple's policy regarding their advertising, as this board does not permit it, but I have provided a feedback link that you can send your criticism of their advertising.

  • Will my 1-year warranty cover my MacBook screen that randomly broke?

    I was using my MacBook and I closed it. 5 minutes later i opened it and the screen was messed up. These black bars appeared and the corner of the sceen flikers.
    I just bought this mac about 3 weeks ago.
    I have an appointment in the next few days.
    I would just like to know if this would be covered under the 1 year warranty because I have no idea how this happened.
    I treat this thing like a baby. I closed it softly and then this happens.
    Can anyone please help me or tell me if this will be covered.

    jsbenitez94,
    this looks like a software problem rather than a hardware problem. Make sure to point it out to the folks at the Apple store when you go there, and they should be able to get it straightened out. If you currently have data on your MacBook Pro that you wouldn’t like to lose, make sure that you have a backup of its internal disk before you go to the Apple store, in case they have to do a clean reïnstallation of OS X.
