Apple offers free repairs on faulty video motherboards Just saw this post. It affects Macbook Pros 15" and 17" from early 2011 to early 2013. Mine was affected and I had to pay $700 for the repairs. Hopefully I get my money back soon.... MacBook Pro Repair Extension Program for Video Issues - Apple Support |
Well known issue. Apple always denied it. Don't know why they're admitting it now. |
I have a MacBook Pro 13" early 2011 and it's not on the list... what...I am pretty sure it's a motherboard issue too as it restarts once in awhile with distorted video sometimes |
Do they mean the weird screen tearing / weird ass shapes I get occasionally? Been dealing with that for awhile. Good to hear they're covering it. It's very sporadic on my MBP though |
Sweet. Will bring in mine regardless. |

Read it a while back on macrumors but as the site suggest it's rumors. |
why wont they acknowledge some 13" has this problem too :( i have a flickering problem on my 1st gen mbpretina 13". its physical problem since moving it a certain way can reproduce the flickering/spasm. |
i think my rmbp is affected. get weird video lock up and glitch sometimes, also act strange compare to other MacBooks when connect to professional video switcher. anybody know how long the turn around is? getting it fix is important to me but also can't be without it for too long |
My MBP is on the list, can I take it in for preventative maintainence? |

Mine only goes distorted when I use HDMI, but aside from that its fine. I thought thats how it operates :/ |
So how will I know my serial number is the one that have the recall? When I enter it in, it just say my warrenty is over. I have a 2011 mbp 15". I had screen problem before my went away. |
