If the unit is one of the affected ones, the Apple company offers the option of repairing them by bringing them to a store or delivering them to a repair center.
If users have repaired their MacBooks themselves at a Apple Store or authorized Apple service, the American company can return the money for those repairs, but those made in unauthorized locations are not included here. As usual, the program will initially be launched in the USA and Canada starting tomorrow, with other countries following to be part of it starting on February 27. Considering the way the program is thought, initially only the countries with Apple Stores will benefit from it, following that the countries with authorized services will offer the program later.
