rMBP Logic board just failed!!!

I had my screen fixed in 2 days if that's any benchmark...

 

a) How old is the machine.
b) How do you know it's the logic board.
c) What problem are you experiencing?

 

I doubt they will just replace it. The repairs don't take longer than a day or two though.

They prefer to fix them then to have to give you a new one unfortunately. If they do that they have your old one they need to then fix and sell as a refurbished.

 

They might change it if they are very nice, but you are not entitled to it. The repairs should be very quick, unless they have to order parts and/or are swamped by work. Sorry for you bad luck, I am sure Apple will quickly repair your machine.

 

Uhm, the computer would turn off way before it would begin to smell like its gonna burn. Sure you didn't get any liquids in there?…lol

 

Was quoted 3-5 days for an MLB replacement, got it back 48hrs later.

 

I heard people who damaged their retina bought applecare, then waited a week or two to avoid suspicion and got their rMBP fixed. I just bought applecare from the start, but I'm realizing, I never needed applecare once on any of my iDevices. I wasted at least 600$ in applecare . I'm deciding in no more applecare for me and my future devices lol

 

That doesn't make any sense. For one thing AppleCare doesn't cover accidental damage anyway.

Also you can only buy AppleCare during the 1-year warranty anyway, so either you're already covered by the 1-year warranty or it's too late to buy AppleCare.

 

That would be AppleCare+, which only covers iPhone and iPad. AppleCare for computers does not cover accidental damage.

 

Obviously those people bought it when their macbook broke within that year. What gain they received? I don't know but I know people who did that.
