Sometimes they will do it for good will...worth a try if you don't mind going to Tampa (I presume that is the closest one to you).
I also did buy the Apple Care for my new one...some peace of mind...and I also don't usually buy such stuff...but I have some rough grandsons.
Calling there won't work....you must go in and try...worth the effort if in the area.
Good luck!
There is an Apple store in the Altamonte Springs Mall which is closer than Tampa from here.
