Got a Time Capsule that’s giving you problems? According to a new Apple Knowledge Base article, Time Capsules with a serial number conforming to XX807XXXXXX – XX814XXXXXX are now eligible for a trade-in.
According to the article, “Some Time Capsules sold between approximately February 2008 and June 2008 may not power on or may shut down unexpectedly after starting up.”
I actually have a 500GB Time Capsule with that serial number, but it’s still working like a champ for me… despite the fact that the average Time Capsule sold during that time apparently dies every 19 months and 20 days. Anyone with an ailing Time Capsule going to take Apple up on their exchange offer here?
