[QUOTE="C o l i n, post: 1072606, member: 132097"] Finally had the chance to get an appt at the genius bar yesterday. Pretty much all good news! The guy said the video card had failed, and as mentioned, it's under warranty because they're faulty. He said they have nearly a 100% failure rate. So, it's fully covered under warranty. I was surprised about the video card being able to be replaced independently of the logic board - well, I was mistaken, it can't be. So, in order to warranty the video card they need to replace the entire logic board! So really I'll be getting 90% new internals for free. I'm just hoping that everythings OK with the previous work done on the computer and it doesn't void anything (fingers crossed). Also, the logic boards are behind schedule in production so it'll be a week till they can repair it. But no big deal, until then I can do most of the browsing I need from work or from my Droid. I'll gladly put up with that not to have to fork over $2000 to get an iMac and iPad (my planned replacement for my MBP). [/QUOTE]
