That explains my one counterexample -- the LCD panel needing replacement.
Anyway, they just made $658 on two hard drives, so they should be more
gleeful.
That, and they just made $350 on a memory upgrade that I would have had
for free had I bought a Macbook 4 days later.
But I got them back: my first-generation iPod still works (probably
only because I have no lifestyle).

We have a similar deal here, but my understanding is that if the actual
cost of parts exceeds $329, you get charged the difference. Since it was a
hard drive, I didn't get to test the hypothesis. If the repair for a 2 year
old laptop is much more than that, there is no point in doing the repair.
I just inquired: it's a flat rate of $329 in all cases, except when the LCD
panel needs to be replaced.
