On Wednesday, I set up another Genius Bar appointment to look at my 2011 MBP. I was having the graphics problem again, I already had three logic boards replaced. The first two were under Apple Care and the third one was in April thanks to the repair extension. When the Genius told me it was going to be $300 this time, I wasn't expecting that. I assumed it would still be covered by the recall. He said, that was a one time thing. While it was still going through the stress test, he went and checked on something, and when he came back, he told me he was able to work something out. Not knowing what it was, I was happy he was trying to help me out. After a few seconds, he said, will you be ok with a new MacBook Pro? I was amazed that they would do that on a 5+ year old machine. I left there very happy with Apple, the Genius, and their customer service.
