Re: eBay Applecare
said by dave49er  :I need to get Apple Care for my Mac Pro, but really don't need it until February next year. But if the person you got it from is reliable, maybe I'll see if I can get it from them. AFAIK, it's the same Apple Care as for the PowerMac G5. Is that correct? I bought a used Mini that is under coverage until Dec, but the RAM and HD were upgraded, so I don't know if it would be worth it, as I don't have the original RAM and HD. Would Apple even look at it if it didn't have the original RAM/HD? I'll will report to see how it goes after I receive it...
I don't know if Apple would warranty a machine that doesn't have at least the Apple stamped hard drive inside... The ram isn't marked, as far as I know. But the drive does have the Apple logo.

Walnut, CA | I should contact the guy, but IIRC he upgraded the 120GB in his Mac Book Pro, and put that drive in the Mini to replace the stock 80, so it most likely is Apple branded.
It's a Fujitsu MHW2120BH. |

The Mac Pro SHOULD have the same AppleCare as the Power Mac G5, yes.
The HD is a user serviceable part in the Mac Pro, as is the RAM. Apple will just not replace the 3rd party HD/RAM if those are the source of the trouble. Otherwise the coverage is intact. |

The Serial # of each computer is tied to a certain configuration, so even if that 120 dies in the guy's Mac mini they'd probably want to see a receipt for where an Apple authorized service provider installed that Apple HDD in there  Course, he could always just try to bluff his way through "that's how it came, I swear!" or hope they just don't notice
I swapped the HDD in my wife's MacBook for mine (gave her my 80 for her 60) and when I sent in my MacBook they replaced the 60 with an 80 without mentioning it to me! LOL, probably figured it was a mess-up at the factory and thought I hadn't noticed. |
