[QUOTE="MBasile, post: 627081, member: 23801"] well if you go into the apple store you'll have to bring your laptop in with you anyways, so they will verify the information there. If you call them you'll give them the info (laptop was bought between specific time period that the update applied to, it is less than 2 yrs old, battery cycle count is at 290, update from April 07 extends the battery warranty to 2yrs for specific problems, this being one of them) and then they will send you a new battery and you send them your old one. They will also ask for a credit card number and they will charge you the full price of the battery if you dont send your old one back, and probably if when you get the old one they see from the battery's info that you lied they'll charge you too. Anyways, I talked to AppleCare yesterday, got my new battery today :) [/QUOTE]
