One of the hard drives on one of my aging Apple
computers has been
dying
for a couple of weeks. It finally gave up the ghost
yesterday.
Called
Apple Care and the tech suggested about four
different ways to
try to
resuscitate it, to no avail.
So he made an appointment for me at the local Apple
store. I
showed up,
tech said "go to lunch." Came back 90 minutes later,
new hard
drive in
machine, running diagnostics.
No charge for labor or parts.
Love it.
Wow! just how old is that computer and was it still
under warranty?
Two years next month. When I bought it, I paid about
$100 for a three
year extended warranty. It's really nice...if I have a
problem, I call
Apple Care on the phone and usually the English
speaking person who
answers can work out the difficulty with me doing
what is
suggested. If
not, the rep makes an appointment for me at the local
store.
I just reinstalled my apps and data back on the
machine from a backup.
Since most hard drives are warranted for 5 years by the
manufacturer
these days that seems like a great deal for Apple. Most
computer
problems are caused by bad hard drives. That has been
true for a long
time, pretty much since the end of the card reader and
open reel tape
drive.
Usually the problems with rotating media is with a lot.
