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.

  • 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 my iPod 5th gen 3 year warranty cover...

    I was just walking my dog and apparently I lost my iPod outside. I did the "Find my iPod" thing and it said it was on the corner of my street. It is raining outside and I know my iPod will not survive the storm. Will my 3 year warranty cover the damage or no? And if not, what all does a 3 year warranty cover?

    What 3-year Apple Warranty?
    AppleCare+ and the previusly offered AppleCare only covered a total of two years

    AppleCare (no longer offered) does not cover accidental damage.
    AppleCare+ covers a maximum of two replacements for accidental damage for a fee of $29 each time

  • TS1713 Does my 1-year warranty cover the replacement of a damaged Magsafe adaptor?

    The cord on my 85W Magsafe adaptor has been damaged. Does my 1-year warranty cover the replacement of the adaptor?

    The cord directly connected to the adaptor was starting to rip off, and so my mother used electrical tape to fix it. The tape ended up melting, somehow causing the cord to rip off, but not completely. The charger works to an extent - it's very on and off. However, I still would like to replace it for a new one. Will I still be able to replace it? With warranty covering it?

  • Does Apple's One-Year Warranty cover dents in the back?

    My friend has a huge dent in the back of his iPod and we're pretty sure it's causing it not to work, does Apple's one year warranty cover it?

    I don't think that would be covered cause it sounds like they dropped it on concrete. cause that is the only was the iPod will dent.

  • I am in California. I intend to buy refurbished iPad Retina display, WiFi 16 GB, form online Apple Store in US. Will its 1 year warranty be applicable/ honoured in India?

    I am in California. I intend to buy refurbished iPad Retina display, WiFi 16 GB, form online Apple Store in US.
      Will its 1 year warranty be applicable/ honoured in India?

    Here is a link to the US warranty for iPad:
    http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ipad-english.html
    Please note this excerpt:
    IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
    Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
    And here is the equivalent warranty for India (which includes the same limitation):

    You'll note the "may restrict" - I do not know how strict the enforcement of the terms would be.

  • ...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.

  • I upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues.  Neither Pages or Numbers will open.  I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone.

    I upgraded my "new ipad" (the 3rd generation I think) to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues. 
    1- Neither Pages or Numbers will open.  I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone. The icon that allows me to create a new document also does not appear.  I went to icloud.com to see whether my documents still existed, which brings me to the 2nd problem.
    2- It appears that all of my Pages documents are still on icloud, but all of my Numbers documents are gone.  There were only about 10, but I access 2 of them nearly every day, so this is a big issue for me.
    I went into Settings and all of the icloud information is correct and it "Documents & Data" is on.  When I look at the storage, I see the Pages documents but not the Numbers ones.  The next thing I did was turn my ipad off and back on, but this didn't fix anything.  Since my Pages documents are still on icloud, I then tried to delete the Pages app from the ipad so that I could reinstall it, which resulted in the 3rd problem.
    3- I cannot delete any apps.  I can get all of the icons to shake and the small x IS available, but everything freezes when I click it.  I can't do anything at that point except reset the ipad or wait until it eventually restarts itself.  I've tried this with Pages as well as multiple other apps, all with the same result.  I've also tried downloading a new app (which worked fine) and then deleting that one, but I got the same result.
    3a- A small related issue to this that I am far less concerned about is that when the ipad restarts itself, it comes back on and the screen is really dark and I can barely make out what appears on the screen.  If I enter my password right away, it stays that way until I go into Settings - Brightness & Wallpaper and touch the brightness setting (although I'm not actually changing the setting because it already shows that the brightness is turned up a little over halfway).  If I don't enter my password right away and let it go completely dark, then click the home button, the brightness is fine.
    So now I'm stuck.  My guess is that I will need to restore it, but wanted to check before I take that step.  Unfortunately, my laptop is on its deathbed so I haven't been synching my ipad to it and I fear my Numbers documents are gone forever.  I'd like to try everything I can to fix these issues before doing the restore in hopes that I can get the Numbers documents back.
    Any suggestions for any or all of these problems?

    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.
