my imac is in for repair :(

[B B Leo]

bought an imac just in and around xmas 2009. i love it and still do, but i noticed over the last few weeks like a static dust marks on the top left corner inside the glass.
so i booked it it to the genius bar for them to have a look at. the guy said he thinks he knows what it is and proceeded to ask me if i smoked? i said no, oh then replys, it just i have seen this from peoples imacs that are in a smokey dusty house. fuck that i said to him, i dont smoke and i see enough dust in my work to last me a life time!. he laughed and said okay we will replace the glass and lcd screen for u free of charge.. only down side is that its gonna take 10 days or so..
making me now think about taking out apple care now!!! just abit undecided

Get applecare on Ebay m8, not too expensive and well worth it for 2 years piece of mind.

was looking at them one at £50.89 and other at £80.89. both from same company and same product whats the difference?

Brought on for my MacBook Pro 13-inch last week but have tried to register it and Apple asked for proof of purchase, so I rung them up and said was this for the MacBook or the AppleCare, and they want it for the AppleCare - so advised me to contact the seller and request their proof of purchase.

Anyone else had this problem? As I can see feedback still being left as though they are working...

Contact the seller, I'm sure he will sort you out, seems to have good feedback.

Contacted him shortly after my post, hopefully he'll get back to me soon, haven't heard anything yet and my warranty runs out on 02/11/2010...

im marked this as watching. gonna wait till i get my imac back

[blaggard]

Be careful, I got mine on eBay and it's OK but some are not genuine. Beyond that. . . . . YES get Applecare!

Good to hear, I'm considering another Mac purchase soon... an i5 MacBook Pro 15".

They even have an option for an i7, but I can't justify the extra for the uses I'll have. Thinking of that power in a laptop still impresses me, considering my first laptop was a 486!

Back then I certainly wouldn't have thought a high end Intel CPU would be in an Apple portable!

Pretty good service from the genius bar. Nice to know you'll be getting a completely new glass & screen though

Bugger on the ETA though.

For future reference, dust does collect on the inside of iMac screens, but theres no need to take it in.

I do this about every three months - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cHMHzq5E5I

I have a PC. I don't have a warranty... Nor have I needed one.

I think an iMac will be my next purchase though. Everyone happy with them?

Applecare all the way, just typing on my new macbook pro that was replaced from my 2 year old white macbook. I have had nothing but superb service on applecare mate.

Going to be buying it for the new MBP and iphone 4........plus if you ever sell it add value too
