okay, let's just ignore the word warranty and replace it with terms and conditions. Apple's Repair Terms & Conditions is what I should have said instead of warranty and I'm just an idiot for saying warranty. Even with or without warranty, apple or any AASP would not fix the iMac because they have to follow Apple's Repair Terms & Conditions : https://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/terms/repair/Retail_Repair_US_Terms_Conditions.html Unless AASP want to lose their 1st party privileges with apple, the only way the iMac would get repaired would be sadly by a third party repair company. A third party company that does care if you had disassembled or reassembled the computer, since they are not a first party apple repair company or ASSP and most of the time do not seem to follow the Apple Repair Terms and conditions. Sadly, the only solution is to take it to a third party repair company or to linus's friend known as: Louis Rossmann You could probably make a video on how simple it was to fix and replace the damaged screen.

Sorry for the confusion but this was what i meant by warranty. https://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/terms/repair/Retail_Repair_US_Terms_Conditions.html 2.If service is needed due to failure of parts that are not original to the product or due to damage caused by abuse, misuse or any external cause, Apple reserves the right to return the product to you without servicing it, and may hold you responsible for any indicated diagnostic fee. Apple will not be responsible for any damage to the product that occurs during the repair process that is a result of any unauthorized modifications or repairs or replacements not performed by Apple or an AASP. If damage results, Apple will seek your authorization for any additional costs for completing service even if the product is covered by warranty or an AppleCare service plan. If you decline authorization, Apple may return your product unrepaired in the damaged condition without any responsibility.

I'm surprised nobody had noticed but if you look at 1:07, they obviously stated that they had opened the device and had attempted to reassemble the device but had broken the device while doing so. Yeah sure, disassembling and reassembling the device should never be viewed as a bad thing, but if you wanted the device to get repaired by APPLE, literally by APPLE; then don't inform APPLE literally that you had disassembled the product and broke it while reassembling it. They will never and LIKE LITERALLY (WHITE GIRL ACCENT) fix something that would immediately void your warranty policy. If you wanted the product to get fixed, you should have lied to them that the product had fallen from on top of a table, ask them how much they would charge you to fix it and the problem would have been resolved immediately. Now, you can't use this method in order to fix the current iMac since you had stated the serial number in order to open a case with apple's customer support. They keep track of what you've stated for that iMac. BUT FOR A GOOD VIDEO IDEA, I SUGGEST YOU BUY ANOTHER APPLE PRODUCT, TELL THEM THAT THE PRODUCT SCREEN HAD GOTTEN DAMAGED BECAUSE IT HAD FALLEN ONTO THE FLOOR. AND THEN, I PROMISE YOU, THE PRODUCT WILL BE FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER "DISASSEMBLED". TRUST ME, EVEN THEIR GENIUSES DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE WHEN A PRODUCT HAD BEEN DISASSEMBLED OR NOT DISASSEMBLED, unless you make it obvious. If you use this idea, you could get sued FOR LYING ON HOW THE DEVICE HAD GOTTEN DAMAGED or banned from getting another apple product repaired so don't do it. Sorry I wrote a lot....
