Anyway I won a partial victory there.ģ ) Call back the AASP with the authorization to order the part.ĥ) Wait for the repair (all this took about 1.5-2 weeks)Ħ) Drive another 2 h to pick up the machineħ ) About 2-3 weeks later the machine failed againġ0) Wait another 1-2 weeks for the new parts to arrive and the repair to be doneĪ while later the display began to fail showing lines across the screenġ1 ) Call AppleCare again.

This process can be pretty arduous and I'm not sure I have any more time/energy to waste dealing with Apple right now.ġ) Take my mac to the nearest AASP about 1 h away ( 2 h round trip)Ģ) Call Applecare, speak to two different people, argue for 1.5 hours which was not a fun experience especially when the higher ranking AppleCare rep tried to convince me that I should have no expectation that a 2 year old $1500 computer should be reliable (that's when I got pretty ticked off I must admit, I mean how naive did he think I was?). I'll probably wait until after the holidays however before I decide what to do. This is similar to what I had to do with my G5 iMac though I went through AppleCare not CR. Good luck Keith.and everyone else suffering the same issue.

If you install defective logic boards, then you should replace them all for free. Jobs, I have been a believer since 1984, and spent a lot of money on your company.you should make this right with all of us going through this problem. For a $2000.00 machine, I expect it to last a bit longer. If not, then this will be the last Apple product I ever buy.

I am hoping that it IS the Nvidia chip issue, and I get a free replacement.

I have a G4 desktop that is 11 years old and runs like a champ.I bought Apple care then, but never needed it. I suppose I had too much faith in Apple to ever think that it would fail. I am kicking myself for not purchasing Apple Care. It is very disturbing that my computer is just 2 years old, and I may have to pay for a new logic board. I have the same problem and fear that my Nvidia chip is not the issue. After all, if you buy a 17" MBP you're not exactly a beginner!Īs I write this, my MBP laptop is on its way to California to be checked out by Apple techs. I can only hope that Apple acknowledges this soon and gets its reputation back in order.

Doesn't matter, it's still Apple's problem and it doesn't look like it's all that isolated. Maybe the Nvidia chip problem causes the Main Logic board to fail. If Apple is reading these posts it is about time that they acknowledged the problem and simply replaced what appears to me to be faulty logic boards and Nvidia chips. I'm one of the lucky ones but it seems to me that there are just too many people out there who clearly have been unlucky enough to live in the wrong place. I agree with those that said this - "No way should one of these expensive machines be failing in such a catastrophic manner after only 3 years". This does suggest to me that Apple IS aware of this problem and, whilst suing Nvidia might be the right thing to do, there does appear to be two issues here. Since I was only days out of my Apple Care Protection Plan I can only assume that the Apple Care guy took pity on me and arranged for the repair to be done FoC. Since there was no start up chime etc etc I was fearing that it was the entire logic board that had gone up the swanny.

Luckily for me this was done FoC.Īs I said in my post, it was clear to me that the technician really had no clue as to whether it was the Nvidia chip or the entire logic board. Crikes! I had my repair done in a UK Apple Store and the total cost was just over £700 which I guess is around $1100. I'm in the UK and I see that someone in the US saw $2000 or so on the invoice for the complete logic board. It also seems to be a bit of a lottery whether Apple will repair the Nvidia piece FoC or the entire logic board. It seems clear from all these posts (including mine!) that there are problems associated with both the Nvidia Graphics Chip and the Main Logic board on 3 year old MacBook Pros.
