Any Apple authorized service center is “willing to do that”?

Also there is a big difference between “it can’t be done” and it “cost more than I’m willing to pay”.




Any Apple authorized service center is “willing to do that”?

That is the question and their mode of business. I am not aware that they are required to perform work on random Macs brought to them and they are pretty scarce. Which brings us to point #2:

Yes, it is better than "it can't be done". But it is a strong limitation of a computer, if the pure work price for exchanging a memory module or a SSD is $300. And requires to find a service center which can do the work and probably a longer stay there. Even on most laptops, such actions are a matter of a few minutes, and on most desktop even much faster and normally user-doable.


Why would an Apple Authorize service center not be willing to take your money? Has there ever been widespread reports of Mac service centers refusing to perform supported upgrades?
