I ask to present the legal team in front of me - I'll gladly talk with them at which point she understands she's wrong and asks to take a leave to the backroom again. In several minutes she returns and says the law does not give me this right and repeats her marketing tirade about how my laptop will be repaired fast adding the piece about 10 days in the end of course. I decline, we read the law together from my laptop, she understands she's wrong, back to backroom, some more wait, she returns, reiterates the same speech. Unfortunately it's time for the store to close.

According to that internal service document, this proprietary software is required when replacing a “ display assembly, logic board, upper case, and Touch ID board,”. But the site, focused on teardowns and DIY repairs, went ahead and put a new 2018 MacBook Pro earlier this month. The site swapped out displays, a Touch Bar unit and even logic boards with zero side affects. The machines booted normally even after updating to macOS Mojave. But wait, Apple itself acknowledged this strict requirement to the press, so what’s going on?

He looked in his computer, said here were batteries arriving the next day, told me to keep my phone until the next day, come in and he'd do my battery in half an hour. I go and indeed they know about the agreement. We reiterate all the conditions, they explain thoroughly how my machine will be repaired first thing the next morning after I give it up, how they will assign the best specialist to do it, how fast it'll be, yada, yada, yada, all in all - quite long marketing speech - and in the end they add 'just in case something goes wrong you should know it might take 14 days to repair'.

A common question from Apple owners is regarding MacBook repair services: “Who should I take my MacBook to if it needs an upgrade or repair?” The reason for the apparent dilemma is that the answers might include: an Apple Reseller, Apple Retailer, Apple Dealer, the local Apple Store, or an Authorized Apple Repair Center? So what’s the difference? Your average Apple Store, Apple Retailer, or Apple Dealer are all essentially the same thing. Each may have varying levels of expertise on Apple computers and products, depending on their setup and the product ranges they focus on.

Despite Apple’s push to turn all Mac professionals into Touch Bar devotees, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with a traditional row of function keys has remained quite popular. If you own one, you might be able to take advantage of a new. Here’s everything you need to know: What is the 13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) Solid-State Drive Service Program? Apple has announced a new solid-state drive replacement program for certain 13-inch MacBook Pro models due to an issue that affects “a limited number of 128GB and 256GB solid-state drives.” According to Apple, some machines have “an issue that may result in data loss and failure of the drive.” I just bought a 13-inch MacBook Pro. Am I affected? Apple says units with affected drives were sold between June 2017 and June 2018.

Your Mac will automatically attempt some more gloves-come-off disk repair measures when you boot into safe mode. To start up into standard Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), do this: • Be sure your Mac is shut down. • Press the power button. • Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.

You can continue assembling the laptop if the LED light on the AC adapter plug turns on and remains solid green. Install the motherboard into the laptop and connect the following: – Video cable. – Cooling fan. – Memory (if you removed it earlier).

When I plugged the MagSafe charger into the logic board, the green light turned on and remained solid, but the power button did not turn the computer on. I tried to find the power pads to force start the computer, but could not do it on my model. I assumed, at this point, that the keyboard must have been fried, so I bought a new one and tried again to start the computer with only the keyboard, fan, and video cable plugged into the logic board. Again, nothing happened. What should I do? I repair Mac at component level and it is a good example to prevent serious damage if an electronic got liquid contact.

With the advent of OS X El Capitan and the redesign of the Disk Utility app, Apple removed the Verify Disk option. The new First Aid tab performed both the verify and repair in a one-step process. While this may seem a step backward, it's actually a faster repair process, and with the quality of drives improving substantially since the early days of OS X, it's no longer the case that the repair process will often lead to disk errors. Now it happens only rarely, though you still should before ever performing a disk repair.

Don't rely on it being preserved. Many repairs require Apple to replace or reformat the hard disk, which will result in the loss of your data.

If I hit cancel enough times it goes away for a bit then pop backs up. This is extremely frustrating. Do you think it could be my logic board? Think all hope is lost? Hi, I spilled coffee on my 2011 MacPro the other day and it shut off on me. I got all of the coffee out and cleaned the inside; allowing it to dry for more than a week. I replaced the keyboard (and the associated backlight) as well as the RAM.

Click to expand.The funny thing is that so far I had - MBA 13' late 2011 w/o AppleCare, - maxed-out in everything except SSD MBP 15' late 2011 w/o AppleCare, - maxed-out in everything except SSD MBP 15' late 2013 w/o AppleCare, - maxed-out in everything except SSD MBP 15' late 2015 w/o AppleCare, - maxed-out in everything MBP 15' 2016 w/ AppleCare, - maxed-out in everything MBP 13' 2018 w/ AppleCare. Similar frustrating experience here as well. For one thing, Apple won’t even look at any device unless one has a Genius Bar appointment. However, it is next to impossible to get an appointment because all available hours are always full for the next 10 days and one cannot book beyond that period. When I walked to the store and told them that it’s impossible to book an appointment so what should I do. They told me that I should keep trying because sometimes a slot becomes available briefly and once it becomes available I should grab it.

Yeah, Apple Care quality is a myth. It's all anecdotal but: • When my iPhone 6S encountered battery issues just nigh on one year after purchase, I received zero help from Apple Care. IPhone was dying at varied battery percentage - the record was 70%. It happened every day unexpectadly.

My Recommended Hard Drive Purchase to Fix or Upgrade Your Macbook I recommend Seagate Momentus 7200 RPM hard drives and I use them in my own and client’s machines. Replacing my original Hitachi hard drive (which had incidentally NOT failed, but was critically full at only 160GB) truly breathed new life into my Macbook Pro. Not only did it provide tons more storage space for me, but the 7200RPM performance and larger 16MB cache has greater responsiveness and performance. • • (The one that I chose for my 2007 Macbook Pro) • Did this article help you? Want to say thanks?

Also he suggested to walk-in every morning and I will likely be seen without appointment after waiting for 2 or 3 hours (as if people have no better things to do than wait for hours at Apple Store - like work or something). Click to expand.Well, we've checked with the store employees - store appointment was in 9 days, third-party service providers were all in 5 days. And it will be 14 days after that, not including that as per Apple. That is not a big improvement, is it? Good my laptop is working, though inconveniently, what will the person whose Mac has totally broke do? Sit 5 or 9 days without laptop?

Back home, email senior AppleCare adviser (he gave me both his direct phone and email - why this is significant would be explained further), explain the situation again, several emails, several calls, we agree they will order the parts without having my machine and then the repair would take no more than 1 full day (so I give up the machine Monday morning, it should be ready by Tuesday evening). Back to the store, explain the situation all over again. They check everything. And do not honour the agreement saying among other things 'we don't know what you've agreed about with AppleCare adviser, we're another division, what do you want from us?' Back home, emails, calls with senior AppleCare adviser.

The resolution was they've tried to contact me by phone both in April and in May and could not. Even though we communicated via email quite a lot they did not respond to emails? And I didn't have any missed calls from Apple (and they're quite specific - they come from 00353***) so I think it was ********. I've contacted AppleCare again, different adviser as mine could not be reached. They didn't see any problem in how the whole case was handled and only apologised after I stressed the worst points of their employees behaviour two or three times. They've assured me the only way to solve the issue is to get it repaired but also guaranteed it would take no more than 14 days. Being quite exhausted I thought **** it, let it be 14 days.

Which seems kinda reasonable. Or at least I thought so.

I had a hard time convincing the guy at the store to take my Apple Watch with a popped up display caused by a swollen battery. I said why do I need an appointment for an obvious problem which is also covered by Apple Care+ on top of it. He said come just before our closing hour at night and I’ll try to squeeze you in. I went back just before the store was closed and sure enough someone cancelled their appointment and they took my watch for service.
