just wanted to check with the gurus ..

is there any particular requirement for purchasing applecare.. i.e. i have to purchase applecare on the day i purchase my macbook?

cos i see people selling applecare retail packs on ebay for quite reasonable prices..
can i purchase the macbook & purchase applecare separately?

Anytime within the one-year Apple hardware warranty.

mind posting the link...?

I've found a US-based merchant on eBay selling ACPPs at a much cheaper price, but unfortunately they don't ship to Malaysia.

what is the proof of purchase of ACPP?

they give u a letter with a serial to register at apple's site??

nope. they'll give you an AppleCare Enrollment number. This number must either be processed through your local Apple Retail Partner or registered online at apple.com/register

if have enough budget go for acpp lorr.. buy it 1months b4 ur mac's waranty finished

It's the same.

then it's great
buying from ebay does look MUCH cheaper

does applecare for IBOOK also apply for macbook?

last time i bought my ibook's applecare it cost rm950.. don't know if macbook also at the same price..

OMGMF, so expensive !! planned to buy the cheapest macbook until i saw this... no hope for me!!

well.. u dun have to buy the applecare on teh first dfay.. which is good
u can saveeeee until the last month of the warranty and buy

and i think it's applicable for ibook applcare for macbook
cos in their store, there's only 2 sets of prices for portables
mb pro & mb.. just like before...

anyway, ebay is worth a look

onimusha_m16 go and buy macbook lorr.. dont have to think about the extended waranty 1st.. can think about it after 11 months u using the macbook

but i must say the applecare really worth it

you've got a replacement from ACPP....?

yeah, last time my ibook's slot-loading drive spoiled after 1 year and a half of usage, luckily i have the acpp

Dang, my ipod has gone bonkers... Cannot charge even though the battery is nearly empty, now that the battery is kosong, now cannot even switch on...

If i were to send the pod to Applecare for a check-up, how much will they charge? And is it the one in BSC?

just checking or inspection is RM50

Wow, not cheap also...

Anyway my iPod is fine already, the problem is because of a totally flat battery, which is why i had problems with the charging... Now its doing alright after a few hours of charging...

If we have applecare for iPod then is totally free of charge, rigth?

what if my iPod bought in singapore and I buy the apple care in local, will they entertain us?

Another scenario is I bought my iPod outside malaysia and apple care as well, can I bring it to the apple service center in malaysia?

if u have applecare.. then everythig no problem...

I think shouldn't be a problem right? If its an apple gadget, the guys @ applecare should be able to entertain u...

no problem
my ipod was bought in australia and they entertained me alrite...
even gave me a new one after my lcd broke down

wow lcd broken down...

u drop it or what..... anyway...is applecare cover any accident on u'r ipod caused human error...means whn u drop it or something else which can caused u'r ipod broken ....

no... i didn't drop it
it just went dead

luckily they gave u new one, if the screen or lcd broken, will they gave us new also?

nope, AppleCare doesn't cover user damage ... sorry...

I think they want to ensure that the damage is due to the manufacturer defect, not due to user's carelessness... Otherwise i can just fling my Pod like a baseball towards the wall and then send to Applecare for a replacement unit!

that's a good idea....hehehe...

anyway....how long does they do the repairing for u'r ipod...

i meant if u send to the apple manufacture...

like they said.. if it's manufacturer defect.. definately they'll cover

You know, I once put a 3G iPod on my car mount and I didn't know there's a magnet inside the mount so the harddisk of the iPod went haywire after several days of use. I sent it back to Apple and they shipped me a new one with a small note apologizing for the harddrive failure.

God forgive me.

Wow, at least u got a replacement unit... I think they must have assumed that the HDD failure was a manufacturer's defect (quite common occurrence, right?)...

hii...i just bought macbook at pc fair recently and just found out that the lcd got dead pixel. where should i send it for warranty claim? TQ.

I'm not sure if they cover for just merely one single dead pixel (if that is your case), coz the last time I asked around, an LCD screen of more than 5 dead pixels can only qualify for a warranty claim.... but that was a year ago....
