Hi everyone, I have an iPad mini that I bought on launch day and it has been working flawlessly but starting these few days it started acting up weird and kept rebooting on its own with some pink and green lines flashing before killing itself and rebooting and the cycle repeats randomly.
I booked a Genius Bar appointment tomorrow but I'm curious as to the chances of me getting a replacement Mini? Would they be able to fix it? And also would they require me to demonstrate the iPad's failure to function properly? Because sometimes it works just fine, the crashing and restarting is totally random. However I do have these logs under Diagnostics and Usage to prove that the Mini is certainly having problem.
EDIT: Tried restoring and setting as new, also a restore to a previous backup but it's still happening.
EDIT #2: Just tried restoring as new again, and it shows slide to configure with the big word "iPad" on top, then when I tried sliding it rebooted itself again, my main concern is if I cannot demonstrate that it doesn't work even after a fresh restore, will they still replace my iPad?
EDIT #3: Got my replacement! Totally hassle-free. Refurb or brand-new, it works just like a new one and that's what I wanted. Hope there won't be anymore issues with this one thanks guys for your feedbacks.
Also it has been refusing to sync to my MBP.
So what do you guys think? Would the Genius give me a replacement or try to fix it? I would much prefer a hassle-free replacement
