Had a 2011 MBP with an open recall for an AMD graphics card issue. Took mine in, opened it up, and the genius said yup it’s a graphics card issue. Just need to run this test to get your refund.
5 tries and an hour later the computer crashed during each test. Came back 3 separate days talked to everyone I could and the computer couldn’t complete the test. Sorry you can’t get recall if the test isn’t run rule are rules.
Haven’t bought a MBP since because the new prices are insane. I’m not risking a $2.5k-3k laptop dying in a few years, or having keyboard issues, or the display-gate issue. Everything is glued in nowadays you can’t even replace simple parts.
- chipotle_coyote 8y agoThat's very strange to me, in that my experience was literally the reverse of that. I thought it was an Nvidia GPU issue, but perhaps it was a separate recall. In any case, the Genius took my MBP to the back of the store and came back a few minutes later to say that he tried to run the test twice and the MBP kernel panicked each time, so he was calling that a confirmation of the bad GPU.
