Hello LTT team. I am an ACMT and ACIT qualified ex employee from apple. I worked as a genius for 3 years and trained the staff as well.
I have information on this you might be interested in knowing. It could help your situation and also allow you to information you might not know currently about apple repairs etc. I am now past my 2 year NDA signed with apple so can share these with you.
Let me know if you want information. I would prefer to take the conversation off the forum thread.
You have my email I use for floatplane.
Thanks.
