apple 2011 macbook pro logic board recall

The affected Mac models include 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros bought between May 2007 and September 2008. MacBook Pro owners who bought a laptop with an Nvidia graphics processor in 20 may be eligible for free repairs as part of a settlement agreement for a class-action lawsuit. The nvidia video card is covered whether you have a warranty or not because it is a known issue and they will continue to support the replacing of the card, since it is nvidia who is paying in the end. I suspect the Nvida is buit into the logic board, I think I would try again for a better resolve.

I hope this issue is fixed in future products. I do like Apple products and considered them a producer of good quality products but after discussing this with a number of people I'm starting to see alot of flaws. I've read alot of forums with people running into similar problems. If I was to fork that sort of money on another Macbook am I likely to run into this issue again? Possibly.

I've noticed this laptop would get quite hot sometimes during usage, I want my laptop back as its something I use alot but its alot of money. I cannot believe that a laptop from Apple that costs €2,500 can only last 4 years. Unfortunately I got a phone call today to say the logic board needs to be replaced and the issue is nothing to do with nVidia. On bringing it to an apple dealer in Dublin I hope that this might be the nVidia issue and I'll get it fixed for free. After many reboots to a black screen with no chimes I realised something could be very wrong. I bought my 17' Macbook Pro about 4 years ago and while sitting idle for about ten minutes it the screen went completely blank.
