To ensure repairs are completed safely, customers must first consult the repair manual, Apple said. Customers can then order genuine Apple parts and repair tools at the Apple Self Repair Online Store. After the repair is complete, customers who choose to return the replaced parts to Apple for recycling can also receive discounts on future Apple purchases.

If you are not familiar with electronic products or lack hands-on experience, it may not be the best choice to do it yourself. Apple notes that the self-repair program is for technicians with knowledge and experience in repairing electronic devices. Even experienced service technicians can find extensive manuals difficult to understand. For the vast majority of customers, the safest and most reliable way to obtain repair service is to go to a professional repair service provider and have the device repaired by a certified technician using genuine Apple parts.
