What would they do?

They would tell you to go pound sand.

But really, how old is this thing? It sounds like it may be old.

Here's the deal. If it is out of warranty but purchased within the last 3 years I personally would tell you to buzz off if you thought you were getting a free replacement. Fact is you could have bought AppleCare. They sell it for just that reason. If it is within the 1 year warranty then they will most likely repair it. If it is outside both of those then they will be happy to take it and give you a quote. They accept major credit cards, cash, and some have accepted personal checks.

I guess the squeaky wheel may get the oil but why? Do you really believe Apple should do anything?

 

No your not getting a repair or replacement.

 

LOL! My iBook G3 14" 900MHz had a faulty logic board earlier this year, I called them about it and it was a whopping $900 to fix it!

 

hah i am going to be honest, i really hate people like you, trying to scam things out, usually i explain that thats waht extended service is for and in they start to act out i just call the police to escort them out. I cant tolerate people like you, nothing personal as it is a forum, but really thats a terrible thing to do.
