[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1846321, member: 307555"] The replacement boards Apple was using were all refurbished boards as are the ones available. The failure rate on those was also high. The reason Apple did not notify anyone of the replacement program was they wanted your computer to fail first and then inquire. I had an intermittent issue with my 2011 MBP and took it into Apple when the logic board replacement program was ongoing. Needless to say my MBP showed no issues even after extensive testing. Now the program is over and I have three lines that run vertically through the screen but since they are one pixel wide and I don't use her much anymore she is in effect retire! I would check this article as that model had a battery issue: [url=https://www.anandtech.com/show/14569/apple-recalls-mid-2015-15-inch-macbook-pro-over-battery-safety-issue]Apple Recalls Mid-2015 15-inch "Retina" MacBook Pro Laptops For Battery Safety Issue[/url] You can run the serial number of the one you are looking at using the link in the article to see if the battery issue applies or ask if the issue has been fixed. Otherwise the 2015 15" MBP would be a nice replacement IMO. ;) Lisa [/QUOTE]
