Hardware test error: 4VDC/1/40000003: video controller on macbook pro 2007 (santa rosa) but no video issues
Hi community, I have a 2007 macbook pro (core2duo 2,4 ghz NVIDIA 8600m graphics card) which recently I have verified with Apple Hardware test and it showed the following error: 4VDC/1/40000003: video controller . I don't see any issues yet , only thing that I notice is the fans making high pitched noise when I play a youtube video, or working on IMOVIE, but nothing else. I'm afraid of the known problem with this graphic chip, which Apple commonly repairs at no cost. Since I am not in USA (I'm in south america) I am afraid of getting bounced when I send the machine for repairs since it doesn't show any of the symptoms specified in the following article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377?viewlocale=en_US
In the other hand, I should hurry up with this since in august 4 years of puchase will be accomplished...so I will not have any support (for free).
I would like to heard your suggestions on this topic, should I wait for the video issues to appear or take it to the service center at soonest?
Many thanks in advance.
Andybsas.
