i need help, i need to get my macbook sent in for a repair because of this fan sound,
I spoke on the phone to some indian guy for like 2 hours,

and he gave me this address and i guess a service number for my warranty issue,
I need to get it repaired since the fan is making a deathly noise and its been driving me crazy

But i thought it may of been dust so i took the screws out of the bottom and had a look,
then though oh spoon i might of voided my warranty


in the pdf i downloaded from apples site it says things like ram and hd's are user replacable, and shows your how to remove screws ect ect there for i could just tell the tech who is helping me? i wanted to know what ram my computer had,

or is it not the simple,
when i get a laptop in at work that's been used and pulled apart as long as they haven't broken any seals saying warranty void the company usually gets it repaired

did you break a seal that says "if broken void warranty" or anything like that? if not then no because everything else is accessible so you can swap it out

lol nope no seals or warning haha


Just alot of junk and dust and a noisey fan

In macbooks, if you open it up, it voids warranty. Hdd is the only things you can replace. So unless you opened nothing other than the cover over the HDD, then you may still have a valid warranty. I'm not too sure about the RAM. I don't think its replaceable.

2 hours for a number?

lol yes 2 hours

But i understand feinicks


this is directly from the pdf

Then you'd better hope that they don't bounce back on you saying that you screwed up while opening the covers. Well... truthfully, I don't have much experience with warranties as I ignore the Voids and all, and figure things out myself.

As for the RAM, its probably the Samsung one.

The best way to know is to call them up and enquire if warranty is valid or not.

well they have allready given me a repair number

So im guessing and hoping if they say well you opened it, they won't say no because if they say no they get nothing but if they say yes then they get payed and its easy,

I think ill just go in there and play dumb and say :3 idk what's wong wiff its just went bleeh and its doesn't werk fix it pweeease ^__~

Lol

maybe that will work

Maybe you watch a little too much anime..

You could opt for the dumb customer approach by telling them that the fan makes a lot of noise and that's it. You don't know how to open those screws/and you never did it. Worked for me when I used to occasionally screw up my old TV. But one day they ran out of spares (more like I got a new TV).
