New MacBook Air M4 – Can't get warranty repair outside country of purchase
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a new MacBook Air with the M4 chip while traveling abroad. Just a few days after purchase, the keyboard and trackpad suddenly stopped working.
I brought it to an authorized service center in my current location, and they diagnosed the issue — the parts (keyboard and trackpad) need to be replaced. However, they told me they can’t proceed with the warranty repair because this model hasn't been released in their market yet.
Unfortunately, returning to the country of purchase isn’t an option for me right now, and I’m left with a non-functioning laptop that’s almost brand new.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation with international Apple purchases?
Did Apple offer you a solution? I'd appreciate any advice or shared experiences.
Thank you!
MacBook Air 13″, 15.4
