Hi all,
Thanks to Remy & Ed for their 5300 REA input. Looks like this is going to
take some more time to get some results.
My friend had a friend in the US call Apple with the number someone on the
list gave about the adapter recall. They didn't know anything about the 5300
REA.
This fellow then called Apple tech suport & was told there is no such 5300
rework program currently running.
Sounds like the same story I got in Tokyo. I wonder if he was just talking to
people who don't know Macs made before the G3 or IBook.
Now that I think of it I bought a PB 190 about 4 years ago from a non profit
organization who had received them as a donation. I was a newbie at the time
and it came with a Japanese system so I gave up trying to figure how to use
it.
My Japanese husband took it & it broke. The authorized Apple repair place he
took it to said it was the logic board which he paid over 70,000 yen (over
500 US) to replace.
I don't have the serial number handy but now I wonder.
My friend leaves for the US within the next 24 hours so it's too late for
her to lug my PB with her without knowing if it will be covered by the REA so
I'll have to push on this end. She's bringing hers though.
Wonder if the REA only works in English speaking countries where people tend
to be more assertive about pushing for things.
Will tell the list if I get any results .
Regards,
Zita
PS. On the which powerbook do you use question. I use both a 520C & a Duo
280C for basic email and writing.
