      Always worth a try at a Apple Store in my experience. Had out of warranty iPhones replaced.

        You may check their website too. There are several active recalls for various products. I had an out of warranty iPhone 5 repaired for free when the lock button failed. They replaced the battery just for the heck of it while they had the phone open.

          yeah like what they all mentioned. check in with the apple store see what they an do/cost are to replace. also check online if there are any other people with similar fault on your MBA model/year and also check for any ongoing/upcoming replacement programs if so..

            I'd book it and just take it in. They'll either do it for free or give you the estimated cost on the spot.

              You can take it to an authorized Apple repair shop as well. They usually have lower prices and carry the same warranty as if Apple did the repair themselves

                My MBP is back 1.5 business days. No cost, and working better than it was before service. It's had a good cleaning on the inside and out. The inside was full of cat hair that I couldn't remove, but after they'd removed the logic board, I think they vacuumed to whole thing clean. I love what Apple does. Turns a negative experience into a strong advocacy experience and I still love it!

                        QFT. I have had the occasional issue with my sons' gaming laptops, and the "warranty" is basically a big middle finger (Samsung? Yoohoo!). We use MBPs for everything else, for a reason. My son dropped his iPad once (shattered, sha-dooby) and I went to an Apple store to by a replacement. I gave the "genius" the pieces of what my son dropped to recycle for me, and they took something like $200 US off the deal. How cool is that?

                        @Snowy:

                        My 2011 MBP is in with the apple store. The display was going crazy greens/reds. It's out of all warranty, but being done under a general recall/replacement. $800AUD replacement for free. Any other vendor, and back in the day I used to do hardware/parts/etc, would say, sorry, that's natural wear/tear/usage of 4 years always on device. Apple goes, no no, it should last you more than 4 years, we're sorry our manufacturing wasn't up to par for you, and this isn't your fault, so we'll fix it for free.

                        It's stuff like this why I stick with Apple. Some of their hardware/options are annoying, their service bar none, number one.

                          Wow!!! How has no one mentioned the new music update to the phone? Holy shit, it's the worst thing I've ever seen. Absolutely moronic and fucking pisses me off!!!!

                          I now have 5 tabs, 4 of which I will NEVER use and 1 that encompasses all my fucking music! Last time I checked that was the only thing I wanted that fucking app to do!

                              Fuck apple. It's bad enough that you see "complete this album" all the fucking time, I disabled it and it took away the ITunes Store app too. Yeah, trying to get it to get rid of being harassed is equivalent to not wanting to buy music.

                              Well my screen is slightly loose so I'm going to try and abuse my warranty and get a new replacement phone, I'll be sure to mention how shitty the update is when I'm there!

                                    Now is a good time to buy existing models for cheap, when everyone is plumping for the latest thing. I am always a model or two behind, but macht nichts.Just bought a brand new, loaded MBP for relative chump change. (Thanks Amazon!)

                                        I'm still using my 2007 MBP 15" (well it is a bit of a Frankenstein, new logic board, memory and HD upgrades). I really want to upgrade soon though. I have my eye on a Refurb 13" MBP.

                                            Retina is spectacular, I'm really happy I bought that. I got the first retina ones in 2012
