> It sounds like the luck of the service tech you reach I was wondering if that might be it, and that it might be worth another call, but being that I am in my third year of AppleCare, I can understand why it wouldn't be covered. They also did say there was a specific time frame after which a batter was not covered (even though it was not written in my agreement). I am pretty sure that the time frame they said was less than a year, so they must have changed their policy. Dave.
