MBP Logic board failure

No need to hate pc and windows. Just don't put windows on pc. Use ubantu linux on a pc build. Or you can also custumize the ubantu interface to look like a mac or windows with no security or other issue that comes with windows. Also the best is to have a mac pro. That seems to be stable and solid machine. I buy a mac pro 8 core and it works well. The temps are good. This is a 3,1 model. I had to many issues with g5s. No issue with the mac pro other then some errors in memory. Bad ram chips. This is kind of shocking though since I watched a video where Steave Jobs was saying we don't sell junk. You could have fooled me. All the mac books are junk. Can not trust anymore. If I buy a mak book pro. I will have to get the 7 or 9 year apple care for it. If it don't break in 9 years it should last.

Googling not very helpful to understand the outcome. How can we all join or contact the class action suit and get a better estimate of the #s involved? Clearly, Apple continues to ignore these problems and pretend this does not exist.

I bought the Apple Care plan. The 3 year warranty expired in April 2013, and guess when the troubles started? In September 2013. Here is a description of my current troubles (LaksK)

I was intending to upgrade to the newer Macbook Pro early or late next year - when Apple ships them with a decent sized harddrive. Now rethinking my committment to Apple. These laptops are supposed to last a while (was hoping 6-7 years so my parents could use it for browsing and stuff).

** MACBOOK PRO FAILED FOR 5TH TIME AS I PREDICTED **

I still haven’t got round to contacting BGA REPAIRS as I’ve been busy on other stuff. But my early 2008 MacBook Pro died again for the 5th time, only 1 day later than the date I predicted it would. So my MacBook is now nearing its 6th birthday. Next November I’ll be buying a shiny new 15 inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. I hope Apple have resolved the logic board problem by then. I will be none too pleased if I have to repair it.

I have posted a video about the repair I did a few days ago. It can been found here

** MACBOOK PRO FAILED FOR 5TH TIME AS I PREDICTED **

Sorry for the joke but you can realy call your mac book pro a born again christian. Born again, and again, and again, and again. This is the only laptop that is like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Hahaha. Apple you are sooooo cooool.

Hi Thorador, good point! I guess it's more like Hindu reincarnation - after a period in firey torment! ha! ha! :-)

early 2011 macbook pro 2.3ghz i7 15"

500GB solid state HD

16GB RAM

AMD and Intel combo

all photo editing, 3D modeling, and graphic design software install--- was never able to utilize

bought the laptop 11/2012. replaced logic board 08/2013, replaced the RAM 09/2013...

i again need to replace the logic board (1 month EXACTLY after last logic board replacement warranty ended).

obsurd that a laptop of this caliber would fail twice after opening an internet browser.

this was my first apple purchase since leaving PC.

$2800 MBP + $400 logic board replacement + RAM replacement = my laptop is still dead

kudos apple for jacking my money
