If your computer is not working as expected, or is damaged in some way, you should contact AppleCare directly for support. AppleCare has been purchased for every teacher laptop distributed, starting in the fall of 2021, and continues until the fall of 2025. Your coverage covers all warranty issues and two accidental damages per calendar year, such as, a cracked screen because the laptop fell on the floor.
To access this, you must call AppleCare at the following number:
AppleCare – 1-(800)-800-2775; select option #3
When prompted, you will be asked for an AppleCare customer code, this will ensure you receive a box at your school to ship your laptop out for repairs. The laptop will ship back to you at the school. Find your school code on the School AppleCare list.
If Apple responds with a need to open a PO for your computer’s repair, please email computerinventory@philasd.org for further instructions.
