- GGfpc 7y agoApple is usually cool with this kind of stuff. Contact them.
- denzil_correa 7y agoThe Apple Support page says > If you believe your Mac notebook was affected by this issue, and you paid to have your keyboard repaired, you can contact Apple about a refund. I'd say you have a good chance to get your money back.
- reaperducer 7y agoApple is usually very good with this sort of stuff. My wife bought a MacBook two months before OS X came out, so she had OS 9. When OS X came out, Apple sent free copies to everyone who bought a computer in the last 90 days.

- spoppy 7y agoPresumably it was more of a PowerBook than a MacBook, since OSX came out in 2001ish and MacBooks didn't exist till they switched to Intel in 2006. Sorry..
- reaperducer 7y agoYou're right; I remembered it wrong. It was an iBook. 10GB hard drive and a built-in DVD-ROM. I wish I hadn't sold it years later.
