- LATE 2013 IMAC SCREEN REPLACEMENT CRACK
I was using it and it just went crack in front of me and tilted forward. I had the exact same problem with my 27" 2013 iMac. take it to them (and cross my fingers) or three do it myself ( which I was happy to do a few days after I got the imac and found that I had forgotten to order a fusion drive so was going to do it myself until I found out the risks and costs if I stuff it) So I have three choices send it to South Africa.(take to long have to much work but safest option). no surprise there!! I have heard that they have picked up there standard since then but I'm still not sure I trust them.
LATE 2013 IMAC SCREEN REPLACEMENT PC
The worst thing is the manager was I guy I new, and used to do all his design work for him when he owned a PC company. of which I stood up told everyone in the shop they were buying an amazing product but the support in this shop was(excuse my words) Fu£*&% crap and walked out with out paying.
So I went to the manager who said its my word against his. The techinian had the ordasity to say it was there before I brought it in.
The last time I went to the other store was 8years ago, when I took my laptop in and needed my optical drive looked at, it was handed back with two screws threaded and a screwdriver wedge in the front where they had tried to lift the keyboard and had not taken all the screws out.
LATE 2013 IMAC SCREEN REPLACEMENT MAC
Well there is one place here in zim that is covered buy the mac warrenty, there is another that is not, which I believe they are a better store as they are Apple followeres through and through, but apple will not give them the licsense for support, which I find very fustrating, I did write a letter saying would it not be better to have compotition to keep the standard up but no reply, sadly. I hope all goes well for you and let us know how you get on - if you contact Apple then they may lay on a courier service but then the repair will take longer depending where it has to go for the repairs. To be honest I dont know how many Apple stores / repairers there are in Zimbabwe but you will probably be better off getting them to do it as the repair does not take long to do as long as you can find someone and they can get the parts.
LATE 2013 IMAC SCREEN REPLACEMENT FOR MAC
There are kits that you can get which contain the speacial tool to run along the outer edge of the screen that cuts the bonding material and then a replacement bonding strip to be able to put it all back together (do a search on google for Mac parts - sorry I cannot remember the URL that I went to) also there are break down guides on the web such as on ifixit if you want to face this challenge - dont forget that this path will invalidate any warrenty that you have. I thought that I had actually put a reply on this after I got my Mac back - anyway 4 days later I had my mac back all repaired - the tech told me that the actual spring and bolt on one side had shattered completely so I was surprised it did not damage the mobo!!Īnyway all is good but it does make me wonder how long it will be before the other side fails :-( and I have to go down this route AGAIN!!! and if that does happen then it will be down to using my Apple Care so not sure if they will try and charge me for the repair (but I will also point them at this thread and say that it does look like a definite design fault).ĭzimking the repair is quite easy so I am led to believe BUT unfortunately to action a repair you have no choice but to remove the screen as it is bonded on - there is no way to access or repair the stand without removing the screen. Many thanks for your help and suggestions guys :-)
LATE 2013 IMAC SCREEN REPLACEMENT UPDATE
The apple guy did say that he had to run this passed his manager to ensure that there would not be any charges to be met by myself,I don't think that I can repeat here my answer to him which was interspersed with key items from consumer law lol.Īnyway I will give you an update when I get the mac back to let you know if they have repaired it to my satisfaction (yes I am one of those nightmare customers lol) Lucky for me as the unit is not a year old so was covered by the original warranty but I also have 3 years apple care that will start when the warranty expires. They said that they had not seen this before and had trouble locating parts or really just the spring assembly that does not seem to be a separate unit and because of this they have had to order me a complete replacement back unit (the whole rear assembly) and a new stand (foot) this little lot comes to about £600 so not a cheap repair. I have just got back from my genius appointment and they have taken my mac in for repair, I should have it back in about 5 days to a week.
