Macbook Pro 17" no video
There seems to be an alarming number of failures with Macbooks where the video stops working directly after the SMC 1.3 update.
These failures are not covered by the Apple extended warranty for the Nvidia issue

Apple do not allow me to post a thread that asks people to list there hardware versions that have failed.
