How fast can i get my iPad replaced

Dan82

I smacked my iPad 3 last week and its only two months old, ive been speaking to some great guys that fix the screens on here but with it being so new they are all advising ordering the replacement from apple.

Only issue i have is that im in Dublin and cant get to Belfast for next few weeks and i need my iPad back asap as i need it for work.

Anyone know of fast way of getting this fixed with apple, anyone that has any words of wisdom


Thanks

I'm getting an iPhone replaced with Apple at the moment so the times should be the same.

Called and arranged replacement on Saturday
Box to send it off arrives tomorrow
Send it off on Thursday
5 working days to verify the problem
Assuming a day to get it back to me using UPS



A long time...

Err, contact Apple?

I dont think apple will be too interested in replacing a screen that you smashed yourself, If the problem was a malfunction and you were under warranty speaking from my own experience I had a replacement product in 5 days. They might offer a fix for you, but will charge ~250, and I doubt the turn around will be as fast...

ive already spoke to them but the guy on the phone kept telling me to travel to belfast and giving me prices in sterling, it looks like 300 euro to replace but im wondering is there a faster way than wait two weeks

When it comes to screens, search for repair shops in Dublin, some may even do same-day services.

Ya its crazy we have to wait this time just cause we live in south of country, max it should be is a week turn around and if your will to pay extra for faster service this should be available too

Spoke to a few guys on it but they are saying that with the dent that is on the device its better off getting replacement off apple

call typetec.ie

i think they are allowed to do replacements on ipads based on what they were telling me before.

they cant do any work on screens or damaged items as apple wont let them set up like this, appe dont make it easy

Spipov

no they dont do work. they will swap the unit straight away. however, as this is not manufacturing fault, there probably is the price of a replacement that you may need to pay

Spipov

and i just checked there, its 599 for new one so id end up putting 350 euro with it for new one thats if i got 250, id really need to get 300 for it and id manage to buy new one then

I was missing mine a week. Not bad in fairness. I really hope they get an Irish store/official repair place soon though for official repairs

well if u put it up for 300 and say i bought the screen myself and fitted it screen is only 70 euro then i have a 600 euro ipad 3 for 370 not a bad deal i think

well you have nothing to loose by putting up a free add on adverts stick firm on your price and it should sell i see on your other thread u can get a screen for 120 fitted. the only problem with that is your warranty will be void

yes thats where my worry is, after spending 599 on it less than 70 days ago i just dont want to mess with the warranty, i just cant get to belfast to sort it so if this doesnt work dont know what il do for the weekend,

Still not under apple warranty I'm afraid

Spipov

with a broken screen, i dont think you are going to be able to get a lot of places doing it with apple warranty.

try adverts i guess

Unless apple replace it your warranty will be gone
