Apple replaces MacBook hard drives for free

Apple has launched an extended hard drive replacement program (“Repair Extension Program”) installed in MacBook laptops. The reason for this was the increasing user complaints, which refer to a flashing question mark during system boot.

This applies to all MacBook models with 1.83 / 2.0 / 2.16 GHz processors and 60/80/100/120/160 GB hard drives. However, Apple has established a tight time frame when the laptop was released. Replacement are only computers purchased in the period from May 2006 to December 2007 . The program will be maintained until August 2010 .

If the problem with hard drives arose in the MacBook, then Apple suggests contacting the nearest Apple Store stores with a request to replace the drives.
