    No 4 year period. AppleCare extends the warranty from 1 year to 3 years. Bring the MBP to an Apple store or AASP and have them give you that information.

    If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within four years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty.

     

    That's what it says, mine did too and was out of date. when Lion killed it.

     

    Don't bother fixing it, it's a 4 year old machine and at it's end of life anyway, something else will just die on it, like the keyboard, the superdrive, the hard drive etc etc.

     

    Wth all the money you'll spend fixing it, you could have a new machine.

     

    Mac' laptops only last aobut 4 years with daily use now.
