16 Mar 10 Apple replaces your iPad if its battery dies
You know you can’t replace the dead battery of your iPad yourself, atleast not easily. But now, you won’t really have to go the hard way ether. Apple would replace your old iPad with a new one in case its battery stops holding charge.
“If your iPad requires service due to the battery’s diminished ability to hold an electrical charge, Apple will replace your iPad for a service fee,” states iPad’s FAQ section on Apple’s website.
The service fee involved here is $99 along with $6.95 shipping charges and local taxes. But in case you end up with a dead battery, be sure to backup all your data before sending your iPad to Apple. ”Before you submit your iPad for service, it is important to sync your iPad with iTunes to back up your contacts, calendars, email account settings, bookmarks, apps, etc. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information when servicing your iPad,” Apple warns.
Apple also states that the iPad would not be eligible for battery replacement service in case it is damaged, which involves actions like liquid contact or unauthorized service/modifications.
