We need to get together and lodge a formal complaint against Mac City. Get Apple to drop them as an AASP because they're doing such a piss poor job.

Latest update:

Finally! I'll be getting a brand new replacement rMBP. Yay, sleek and new - no more dents/scratches. After 1 month without a laptop I'll have to wait another 2 weeks for a new laptop...

I was wondering, if we had issues with our Mac, do they repair or replace 1 to 1?  rclxms.gif

Since it's a defect, Apple will surely honor the warranty claim

Singapore mostly immediately. But Malaysia maybe 1 or 2 months later.

This probably has been discussed before, the warranty of my wife mbp 13 retina has just expired and I just found out that some parts of her screen has some coating damage. I have no idea why she didn't tell me, she said it was okay for her. Anyway,  checking the internet, it seems to be a common problem on some batches. Has anybody with the same problem with expired warranty successfully ask for it to be fixes foc?

Here is how it looks, for me it is pretty bad, for he it is okay smile.gif

for this, you don't need warranty to get the screen replaced

1. I think it's safe because I had used my MacBook Pro for 2 years with some cracked app and it still working fine
2. No need
3. Not a must but cleanmymac really a good tool to clear those cache or trash from ur Mac since we all know the storage on our Mac are very limited. I clean it once a month.
4. Apple care is a must, seriously. I had an experience where my original adapter cord is torn and I still able to claim back a new one under Apple care warranty. Some money is worth paying. My uncle is working in Apple service Singapore and he told me that repairing a screen is very expensive so please Apple care
*
I have to agree that Apple Care is a must
I got my 15" rMBP screen replaced under Apple Care, if it wasn't for apple care it would have costed $1000
Few months before the Apple Care coverage ended, my mac was diagnosed of more issues and Apple replaced it with a brand new 2015 unit thumbup.gif

I meant 'apple care' that is extra on top the standard warranty. IIRC it was for arround RM900, that goes for 3 years no questions. I think it is wort it to have.

Anyway, at Imbi look at the 1st floor somewhere at the side. Its a used equipment shop so to speak, something like a kedai potong but for IT products. All the best bro.

There are members here that have send in their rmbp for the 'stain' lcd issue. It takes somewhere between 3days to 1 week depending where you send it in. I can't remember where exactly but its listed somewhere in this thread where you can send in yours. FYI i plan to send in mine, but couldn't find the right time as I heavily use my labtop for work and can't go without it for too long. Some cases are very bad, and sme are minor... eventually need to be send in.

send it for them to diagnose, it only takes a few hours and you can bring it back with you.
wait for them to order the part, then once part arrives, bring your laptop to them for screen replacement, takes only 1 day.
send it in the morning and you should be able to get it back in the afternoon/evening
this way would minimise impact on your productivity
