iMac warranty

Without AppleCare, which gives 3-yeaar warranty service, he has 90-day warranty service. Have him call AppleCare and arrange for it to be repaired. If Apple decides it's beyond repair, it will be replaced.

Try a google search for *warranty site:apple.com* and see the first two or three hits.

That's misstated (at least I'm guessing it's a misstatement) and misleading. Apple gives a one-year warranty on all iMacs. They provide only 90 days of free telephone support, but the warranty doesn't end when the phone support does.

Cheers.

What is the difference between the 90 day warranty and the 1 year normal warranty?

It is at Apple's option whether to repair or replace the system; this long after purchase Apple will almost certainly elect to repair the system.

Thanks for correcting my error. I put 90-days, but as noted that's for the free phone support.
