Apple now including liquid submersion indicators on New MacBooks

October 17, 2008

Hello Apple fanatics-

Apple is now including Liquid Submersion Indicator sensors throughout the recently released MacBooks. These liquid indicators are to step up their fraud protection in the event of a warranty claim. Of course Apple does not offer warranties on liquid damaged units of any kind!

As you may or may not know, Apple introduced this technology in the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPod Video units, and the indicators change to red if they are exposed to moisture. The LSIs (Liquid Submersion Indicators) are found just under the keyboard on the new units, and liquid spills will be easily identifiable by Apple Store employees.

If this should happen to you, rest assured that Mission Repair will be able to repair your MacBook at a fair price and at lightning speed. Well, pretty fast anyway. We receive liquid damaged units in constantly and we’ve quickly become experts on liquid damaged units and getting them back into our customers hands working again. Unfortunately, these type of repairs are not covered under warranty, but we’ll make it as painless as we can for you to get you back in business! Thanks for reading, have a great weekend. Ryan

Snakes on a Plane?

September 16, 2008

Hello all, well this is a new one!!  We received a MacBook in from one of our customers in Michigan for our famous $229 MacBook LCD Replacement Service.  It was an overnight delivery and when we opened the box. . .yes you got it from the title. . .a LIVE SNAKE came out of the box!!  He was a passenger on the overnight air trip from Michigan, and somehow the little guy made the trip.  It must say a lot of the protection of our box that we provide (it’s got a lot of foam padding).  Ha!

Here’s a picture of our little friend (I took it with my new 3G iPhone):

I felt bad for him and he was obviously scared and disoriented.  We managed to “corral” him into an empty LCD box and soon after we took him to the acreage behind our building here in Kansas to set him free.  I hope the little guy is OK!

Can you tell me what kind of snake this is from my picture?  We’re no crocodile hunters here and no one got bit, but we also didn’t know what we were dealing with.  I’m just glad he made the trip.  Not to mention that I’m glad my receiving department didn’t have a heart attack when he found him!

It’s one for the books, and we thought that we’d seen it all. . .see ya, Ryan
