The process is fairly straightforward. The tech sticks a flash USB stick in and boots the Mac from it. A test runs automatically. If the Mac is still covered age-wise AND the graphics chipset falls in the defective category, a number pops up onscreen, that the tech uses to order a replacement logic board. Board in hand, an appointment is made for them to do the switcheroo, takes at least a day. At least that's how the Service Providers do it, the Geniuses at the Bar may do it differently


If no number pops up in the test, you're out of luck.
