Titan, if necessary do you think should I call an Apple store directly or some sore of 800 Apple care number?
I live near SAIT and there's a Westworld right by me... does anyone know if they're considered an Authorized dealer? Being close to the holidays I'm scared to even go near an Apple store.

Hey Captain, I actually work at an Apple Authorized dealer in my town. My past experience with Apple and out of warranty coverage would lead me to believe that it would be worth your time to give a call to the 800 number and talk to an AppleCare rep. Explain the issue, tell them it's just a week outside of the warranty and see if they'll cover you. Usually if you drop this line "I really want to continue to be an Apple customer but... (if you don't cover this then I might reconsider)" they will usually fold. I've had quite a few customers get their way with that line. If you don't get the answer you want, hang up and call them again, you'll 99.9% of the time get a different rep and sometimes that's the difference.
Either way, if you call them then they have a record of it and if you do end up going into an Apple Store they'll be able to pull up all the info much easier and you should be in and out.
If you have any other issues/questions feel free to drop me a line.
