Apple $310 flat rate repair plan? Have any of you actually taken Apple up on this deal to repair your MacBook Pro/Air? Is it worth it?

Totally worth it, but only if the repairs would cost more than $310 (Logic board. Top and Bottom case) if you send it in, make sure you tell Apple there are issues with your Top Case and Bottom case, so they replace those items too. I have gotten hard drive, logic board, keyboard, top and bottom case replaced before (at that point you basically got a new Mac)

TheSnapDude,

Yes, I did take advantage of this, and I'm very glad I did. Here is what they replaced on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010). I included their comments, as to why they replaced the parts.

Parts:

605-3129 Logic Board 2.53 GHz - Intermittent Black Screen or Loss of Video (Multiple Issues)

631-0959 MagSafe Board - Mechanical - Connector/Cable/Duckhead Damaged

605-2064 Battery Indicator Light - Cables - Defective

Came back like a new machine. ;-)

Yes, I had it done on an older 2009 MacBook, it was worth every penny.

I have no idea whether your Mac will qualify for the 'Depot' repair, take it in and ask. And yes, everything was replaced that needed replacing.

Back it up, if the data matters, nothing if it does not matter to you.

Nope, just handed it over, it came back with the same data restored to it.(But don't rely on that happening)

You're welcome

As far as I know everything (hardware) is covered.

Did you need to sign up for any sort of plan beforehand? Or can you just take it in and ask them to repair it/replace parts?
