Thank you to all who replied...my brother has decided to make an appt at the Genius Bar this week, and see how sympathetic they are to his tale of woe.

I did so and they charged me £296.44 (I'm in the UK) for a replacement. SWo although I didn't get a free replacement, it didn't cost me £550 for a new one either. Sadly I'm miles from an Apple store, otherwise I might have contemplated taking it back there. I was disappointed with the length of time it took to replace my iPad - 2 weeks.
