Field Scenario
A customer’s Mac has a hardware issue likely still covered under Apple warranty, but they ask a technician to attempt a workaround repair instead.
What You Actually Do
- Explain honestly that this issue likely falls under warranty coverage through official Apple channels
- Recommend Apple Store or authorized service rather than an unsupported workaround
- Explain that an unsupported repair attempt could void warranty coverage or worsen the issue
- Recognize this scope boundary as protecting the customer’s actual best interest
