[QUOTE="crimsondragon67, post: 1565882, member: 294029"] [b]Stripped scren on macbook pro[/b] Hi, just a quick update on my problems with my Macbook Pro. I had an appointment with the Apple genius bar yesterday and they got it started up ok and it then replicated the issue in the store so they could see what was happening et. and they have diagnosed that it needs a new graphics card/logic board as these components are are all in one nowadays in the macbooks. This is going to be a costly repair with them quoting me £450 inc vat and labor!! so i have no option but to go ahead. the ne part has a 90 warranty only too which i was surprised about, but if the problem ever arrises again it'll be straight back to them regardless off the 90 day warrenty as i would be covered under the comsumer goods act here in the u.k i.e was the part fir for purpose etc.. but hopefully i won't ever have to go down that road and the issue will be resolved with the new logic board. Apple yesterday conformed that apple care can indeed only be bought officially at the same time as a new laptop or computer and can't be purchased afterwards. that sucks really but nothing i can do. My machine is mint all over with the guys commenting on the condition as i use a thin keyboard cover too. but hopefully as i say the issue will be fixed quite soon. It will take a few days to get the part in then another 2-3 days for them to fit it and check everything is all right and running fine. so hopefully i'll be up and running in a week or so. Thank you gain very much for taking time to answer and help, it was greatly appreciated.. tho i was surprised that you out off the whole community here was the only person to answer!!. i thought and read how goo the apple forums communities were!.. maybe they didn't have any real answers to my problem, but again thank you for answering. I will let you know how the repair goes and if everything get back to normal. kind regards Fergus [/QUOTE]
