He argued that Apple didn't have to send out emails, because no other company sends out emails about re-calls. Daniel further said they had put their recall on the website and Apple could no longer help me because my warranty was outdated, and their replacement/repair had ended in 2015 (I'm sure he meant 2016). Daniel said, because they would have had to send thousands of e-mails and it wasn't feasible (Yet, they can send out thousands of emails about their new products). I asked why wasn't an email sent out with the recall information. Daniel again stated they had done their part and put it on their website. I informed him had I known there was a recall I would have brought my laptop in for a repair.

Further more I informed them I had no idea that there had been a recall, he stated they did their part by putting it on their website. I asked for the repair to which he said 'No'.

I told her I couldn't, as my investment into the computer was far greater than what I could get back from it. She gave me a second option of taking in my computer Apple could buy it back, and I could use it to purchase a new computer. She then stated, even though the part was vintage my computer was not. She informed me that I could take it to an Apple approved repair store and have it fixed their at my expense, but Apple couldn't fix it at this point. They couldn't help me because they no longer had the part in storage. She contacted the closest Apple store in San Antonio. I immediately contacted Apple, and was helped by the first person to answer the phone (whose name I forgot to get).

The issue persisted, and I continued to do research on how to resolve my issue. Due to falling on hard times, and finding it difficult to find a job I couldn't/can’t afford to send my Macbook Pro in for repairs. They tried to help and recommended I should ship it in for repairs.
