Apple nixes video glitch repair program for 2011 MacBook Pros
My early 2011 matte 17" MacBook Pro was purchased March 28, 2011. It died April 26, 2013 due the discrete graphic chip. I paid to have the logic board replaced. It died again 2 years later on May 13, 2015. At that point the repair program was in place, so it was repaired at no cost. Soon after I received a refund for the original repair. Then 2 years later the computer died again -- April 22, 2017. Apple was going to replace the board one last time, but it turns out there are no more early 2011 logic boards left.Key point: Apple never actually fixed the problem. They kept giving me bad boards. Now I'm SOL. Apple won't do anything.
This is, without question, a manufacturing defect. Yes Apple repaired the computer, but they did so with a bad part. Twice.
Totally unacceptable
