Sure, but briefly: Walter Heise hase a Performa 5260 with a misbehaving 
monitor - it turns purple after about an hour of use.  There apparently 
is some sort of extended warranty on that machine, but no one wants to 
honor it.  He sent it in to Card (a service center) where they 'fixed' 
the problem.  It came back.  He looked at the description of the repair, 
and discovered that they didn't find anything wrong and replaced the 
pram battery (that's the buffer that I assume he's talking about) and 
recalibrated the monitor, for DM 251.  Then he tried to send it in to 
sendamac - the place where he got it from for warranty service, after 
speaking to a sympathetic woman, but they sent it back to him too, 
because the warranty apparently didn't apply to the machine.

Naturally he's not happy with the situation, and isn't happy with Apple.

The reply suggests that he take up the repair with Card.

Ciao,

PS.  In Amiland habe ich immer meine Probleme telefonisch loesen 
koennen, wenn ich Muehe gab - z.B. wurde mein PB 2400c kostenlos 
repariert (haette sonst USD 500 was gekostet!), als ich letztes Jahr in 
Rostock war.  Der Laptop wird nur in Japan oder in den USA repariert...  
weil er wurde nur in den Laender verkauft. Sonst haette ich einen Brief 
an Apple geschickt.

In den USA hat die Firma auch 2 Chancen das Geraet zu reparieren oder zu 
ersetzten, wenn ich das Gesetzt richtig verstehe.
