KwS 2377 Report post Posted August 4, 2014 Check warranty status here, https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do by inputting serial number. If it says its under warranty wither return it to Harvey Norman or call Applecare on 00800 7666 7666 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted August 4, 2014 i dont know why the seller wouldnt do it themselves if it reaslly was under warrenty! mind you NZers on the whole arent known for thier business intelligence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3568 Report post Posted August 4, 2014 Decided not to do it. Seemed too fishy. Seller claimed hes too lazy to get it done himself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

camera doctor 25 Report post Posted August 4, 2014 Smells like wtaer damage from here ........ But that is just a guess. Apple will not swap if the water damage indicators have gone - shine a light into the headphone jack, if you see pink, leave it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3568 Report post Posted August 4, 2014 the seller wasnt very helpful. i decided to leave it cuz it would have cost $550 then if all went well then i get a refurbished 5s for 550 but if all goes wrong, could cost me as much as a new 5s so no point.

KwS 2377 Report post Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) how do you check that the IMEI isnt blocked? Edited August 8, 2014 by KwS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
