Try to get it repaired for a "DEPOT" charge apr. $ 350 in an Apple store.I'm in the same boat. I'm not sure if it's worth to pay for the repair of my 2010 if it's not covered. well, i'll wait what the next relaese looks like....
I've bought a second hand late 2011 macbook but i didn't notice this issue yet. Anyway, anyone knows if this can be applied to a second hand product?
I filled out the "Coverage Form", and it just told me that my warranty had expired. It didn't tell me if my item was affected.
The "Check Coverage" tool will not tell you whether your MacBook is affected by or currently experiencing this issue. Rather, it tells you the model year of your MacBook, which Apple then asks you to compare against the list of eligible models. Reread the support document. http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/I have an early 2011 but when i checked my coverage it says it is not covered anymore
Sadden to read Apple still won't acknowledge this problem started in MacBookPro Mid-2010 and fix those.
I have a late 2011 17", and the graphics died on it 3 months ago, and had my logic board replaced on it.
I fitted an SSD and 16gb ram, and i swear its like a brand new machine.
Ive even managed to keep the shell almost scratch free, so it is literally a brand new 17"
Well chuffed about that..

take it to apple an seeMy 2010 MacBook Pro is affected too. Has anyone tried to get Apple to fix their 2010 under this warranty program?
That is great and all, but if the parts haven't been fixed, it is replacing one faulty part with another.
Thank you EPA and Eurozone regulators for legislating out the minuscule amounts of lead in our laptops and consigning them to early deaths. What's worse? Tiny amounts of lead or whole laptops being thrown into the trash bin when their gpus go bad?
Apple's fix is temporary and 'buying you extra time' at best. The repairs are using refurbished logic boards that have had their useless lead free solder reballed. The only long term fix is to either get rid of your laptop or send your logic board to a tech that will replace the craptastic lead free solder with proper leaded solder!
An Apple product is an Apple product. I reckon you're covered too.
Any confirmation that they actually fixed the problem and aren't just replacing it with the same part? When I asked the Apple store guy after mine was fixed, he said he wasn't sure.
You can download ad blockers on iOS 9They know how to turn off Flash ads, but they have no clue how to turn off HTML5 ads, ads in iPhones, etc... (yes, ads cannot be turned off in iOS but that's not how the "Genius" responded at the time.
