UPDATE : A Mac Genius has written in with the following selective information :
“ the hdd refilling apply to macbook models “ Macbook 13 - inch ” ( i.e. the original 06 model ) and “ Macbook mid-2007 . ” there is a model in between that is not covered . Also , unlike Apple REPs ( repair reference computer programme ) , these repairs look on what apple call its CS - Matrix ( a breakout list of procedure deemed eligible for customer inspection and repair , or “ CS ” codes ) . the CS - matrix is not order by the 3 - twelvemonth REP loss and is consider “ cover until further notice . ”
if you really need to gross out out a genius bar employee , just sidle up and mention you have a CS - ground substance - eligible macbook hard drive refilling . or do n’t because we ’ll detest you for being douchey ;) ”
UPDATE : We ’re getting at odds reports come in from several Mac Geniuses , with most of them saying something along these line of work :
“ Your Genius informant was wrong . The Apple internal Department of Commerce mention the MacBook Late 2006 is covered . Apple does n’t list role model number because consumers do n’t really need to live them . On all the Apple Internal certification it lists the qualified poser as MacBook ( 13 - in ) , MacBook ( 13 - column inch , Late 2006 ) , MacBook ( 13 - inch , Mid 2007 ) .
As well as this is an literal REP ( like the iMac G5 Power Supply and MLB back in the day ) so no CS - code is indigence and any Genius is able-bodied to cover this but only if it falls into the date list on the REP information page .
Additionally , if a customer pay for a HDD replacement on one of the list models they may characterise to be reimbursed the repair costs . They will call for to get through AppleCare for that part ( we ca n’t do it in - store ) . ”
There you have it . Hope that helps .
