Q: macbook pro recall

Hi,

Ive just found my brothers Macbook pro, its the 2.4 ghz early 2008 model.

It has the graphics card fault and has the NVidia chip which apple had a lot of trouble with. Will this still be covered (It's just over four years old) Thanks in advance

    You first have to take it to an Apple service outlet or Apple store to confirm that it is the exact problem covered by the extended 4 year warranty. If it is over 4 years old expect them to deny coverage but some people have reported that Apple still covered the faulty chip so it is worth a shot.
