IMAC good night

[chrisdee]

My early 2007 IMAC said good night last thursday, so I delivered it to my local apple support store. Now a week later they found there is something wrong with the screen, so it has to be changed. I asked how much and they said $1500 for the new screen. Wow, I paid round $2000 for the whole machine back in 2007. I'm thinking that the screen should last at least 5 years so I'm hoping this will go under the claim/complaint. Warrenty is only 1 year.

It sucks not being able to make music for a week+, but it would suck even more if I would have to pay for this.

Makes me wonder if any of my PT problems is related to a fawlty machine rather than PT itself ?

Too subtle Dougfather. Too subtle.

Ok, so you didn't get the joke.

I was implying that if you had for example...dropped your imac you could have it replaced by your insurance company.....wink wink

Hmm... insurance fraud. Good luck with that.

good luck with that. i had one of the ibooks that they admitted had faulty motherboards, but by the time mine fried they said their replacement program had ended and i'd be better off buying a new one instead of paying to get it repaired. more like they'd be better off!

You didn't get the 'Apple Care?'

[chrisdee]

According to norwegian law a product witch is supposed to last longer than two years has a 5 year claim/complaint. Since the imac screen is integrated into the imac as one product, I would think it is supposed to last longer than 2 years. Ergo, this should go under the 5 year claim/complaint. As I said I have been very carefull with my imac so this is not e problem caused by my use.

On the other hand, hearing so much negativ comments about how apple sneaks away from responsibillity I have to await answer from my local apple store.
