Macbook pro mid 2010 logic board failure

I spoke with a local 3rd party authorized Apple repair centre. Their experience has also been many 2010 Macbook Pro logic board failures. The tech stated that Apple has never properly fixed the issue and all the replacement logic boards he has installed eventually failed with the same issue as well. He strongly recommends not to purchase the replacement logic board as he knows from experience IT WILL FAIL. He is also suggesting to purchase a new computer.

This logic board failure issue is not rare, it has existed since the products were manufactured, Apple is aware of the problem and has chosen to ignore their customers.

The 13" MacBook pro was never a part of this, because your computer does not have a separate GPU. On your computer, the GPU is intergrated with the CPU. Thus, the NVIDIA issue does not apply to you.

Did you not post that the AASP quoted you "$400 ~ $500? Seems about right to me.

I have this issue with the NVIDIA 330GT, I do have a seperate GPU.. Is that covered?

I have the same issue. They ask 550 dollars for a new Logic Board and Apple Spain refuses to give me a solution or even an explanation. Do you guys know if Apple plans to give us some help?

(In my previous messages I messed up the logic board replacement price. Just to be fair, the real price according to the budget the Technical Support guys sent to me is 590 euros, about 800 dollars)

I have the same model MBP mid-2010, with the exact problem as you guys. Now, I feel I wasted thousands of dollars on this one.

Same problem with mine too, I dunno what to do, it just randomly shuts off.

Yep my mid-2010 main board has died too! I think I'm going to switch back to a PC. It'll probably cost the same as just fixing this Mac. 😟

Prior to Mavericks installation, which OSX did you had installed?

Thanks,
