I had the same with my Polar HRM. it failed. I bought it on Ebay. Took it to the official Polar distributor in Dubai, they didnt give a toss if i bought it from them. they checked the serial number, proved it wasnt 1 year old and repaired it for free.

Take it to the apple main dealer in AD..
exactly as i said.

no of course i dont have one of those, that would mean something to do with exercising and the like.... sorry i will be more specific, you dont need the receipt just the serial number will do "exactly as i said" great minds think alike...

Anyhoo,no point in peeing into the wind,just go to Abu Dhabi Jumbo Co op,Mina Mall or Co op opposite AD Mall- best customer service/follow up in town.hth
Carrefour is breaking the consumer protection law by that behaviour. They are legally obliged to repair, refund or replace.

Try quoting federal law no 24 at them and you'll get a much better response.

thanks for all your help! I've found the serial number on the back so i am going to take it over to AD Mall to the Ipod dealer and see what they think..apparently the problem is called ''ghost screen'' and happens a lot.

Spugsy..It's no use me going to the York hotel to ''bang a hooker'' as Im not into girl on girl.

Default Re: ipod repairs in Abu Dhabi

Hi all


So does anyone know of a repair shop in Abu Dhabi that will fix an ipod. I believe mine needs a new batter and it is not under warranty. Called the Apple service center and they don't fix ipods or iphones.

On the subject of repairs, does anyone know where a good laptop repairshop in Abu Dhabi is? This is a dell and its older/not under warranty.

Many thanks.
