Just purchased a Late 2011 MacBook Pro 15" i7 from Goodwill.com. Pictures showed a blue screen.
I went ahead and bought it thinking if the HDD was bad, no big deal, since I was gonna replace with SSD anyway. (I already have the SSD and 16gb ready to go into once it gets here). my concern now, is the radeon graphics issue with some models needing to have the logic board replaced due to lead-free solder being used. I know some were eligible, but would it be to the original owner only? if I replace the drive and memory would it still be considered for the extended warranty replacement program? I am hoping the blue screen is just the HDD being messed up, but if it turns out to be the Logic board what do you think my chances are of getting the free repair?
