Since the official announcement by NVidia, and as Dell and HP did it already weeks or months ago, we are still waiting for Apple official extended program for MacBook Pro equipped with a defective NVidia GeForce GPU. If the problem does not seem to affect a large number of models or units, we regularly receive reports. It is about time for Apple to stop being silent and act effectively for supporting unfortunate owners of a plagued MBP.
A website has been created to compile information and links related to the issue: http://www.badmacbookprogpu.org/, in addition a video clearly demonstrate the video issue:
According to our information, Apple was not causing problems to unfortunate owners to exchange the defective motherboard, however, as the first MBP equipped with defective NVidia started shipping in June 2007, we are now 3 months over the warranty and Apple seems to behave suddenly differently according to some report, refusing to exchange the defective GPU for free. As NVidia already announced that it will cover the cost of repair, we are expecting now to have Apple issuing an extended warranty program for the affected models.
