[QUOTE="andr3wkim, post: 955386, member: 126731"] Apple's refurbs and Apple Store fixes go with the "Whatever we have" policy. Apple just makes sure the unit works before re-selling them or giving it back to you. That being said, most of the units sold on the refurb site are slightly used (New defected units). The part they replace is whatever they have at the moment (used or new). I believe there was a [URL="http://www.tuaw.com/2009/11/01/think-those-warranty-parts-are-new-think-again/"]TUAW.com post[/URL] about this. I'm not 100% sure if this is true, but where I got this info from. :) [/QUOTE]
