[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1819961, member: 56379"] Unless Apple has changed things...they've never required me to prove I was the original owner whenever I've taken in a computer for one of these special repair programs. Basically with these special repair programs...Apple is fixing a defect in design or a manufacturing defect...and whomever is the current owner...gets the benefit of the repair. Many companies do state that only the original owner/purchaser of the item qualifies for repairs like this...but Apple does not require or stated this (as far as my experience has been). Just tell Apple you have a MacBook Pro with the anti-reflective coating wearing off issue...and you would like to have it looked at/repaired via the special repair program you heard about. Apple usually only asks for the serial number. Beyond this...do not say or do anything unless asked. If you give away too much information without being asked...or you look like the dog that just snatched & ate a cupcake off the kitchen countertop...you may jeopardize the free repair. Please let us know how things progress.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
