Yeah, I've had 2 from yesterday deleted too. Still incorrigible, like a brick wall.

Have you considered adhering to the terms you gave your word that you would?

I didn't say it was I say it will be in light of the program....

Per Ayn Rand's "objectivism" so admired, loved and adhered to in Silicon Valley, I am not in violation of the ToU.

Please, backup your statements with actual facts and sources that support your claims.

I don't know how much more proof you need that you are wrong, but the case is still pending. It has not been dismissed. Additionally, there is another sperate, and still active lawsuit pending in Canada....

Can you not understand that there are two cases?

read the link I provided, it refers to case number one, the one that has been dismissed already.

And so it begins....

Customers have reported volumes of 2011 MBPs for sale in Apple's stores, have they been subjected to the repair standards some have experienced with their costly repairs and repeated cycles of repairs?

One of my jobs in a past life time was to find and fix manufacturing processes like Apple's.  Find where we built the problem in and repair that part of the process.  Associated with that effort was to retrieve all faulty production products and repair them.  Step one find the problem.  Step two determine a correction.  Step three test the correction.  Step four assess the correctness of the correction, which involves creating tests that never existed before, for had the tests existed the problem would not have reached the customer.  Step five determine if whether to return to step one or to step six.  Step six gather the information to repair all previous production.

We are about to find out if Apple did step four or is hoping for another firmware update to delay the problem once again.

And so it begins....

Well, like I said, I am aware of what Apple has stated.  I just want to know if anyone in t his thread has been contacted.  That's all

Finally!!!!!!!!!. Still my MBP is running on gfxCardStatus. Let's see what are we getting at Apple Store.

A sincere thank you to everyone on this board who helped to bring this issue to Apple's attention through discussion and comments. Especially to those who actually helped to work on people's Macbook Pros and fix their graphic issues, through reballing and the like. I think that may have helped Apple to see the fact that there was a very real solution, which confirmed that there was a very real problem.

Fantastic news - I will let all my reballed users know and put all their claims in with Apple providing their invoices who didnt take the small claims/SOGA option to get their money back.

You took your blooming time though Cupertino but finally you've done the right thing.

The terms state that reimbursement is available for repairs carried out by Apple or an AASP, there is as yet no mention of repairs carried out by third parties. This may of course, change.

My early 2011 MBP died 3 weeks ago.  Bought a 2014 rMBP.  My support page says it is not eligible for free repair.  Thanks a lot Apple.

Where are you ? If you are not in the USA or Canada, that's probably normal, as the rest of the world is only covered as from the 27th February.

I hope that is the case anyway, as I'm in the same case as you at the moment, here in France.

If your computer is one of these and is experiencing video issues, distorted video, no video, or unexpected system restarts it is eligible either today in CAN/US or Feb 27 international... Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider

I have lived in west central Florida for 31 years.  It is a MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011).  It is on the list of affected models.  However, it is a BTO with the high-resolution screen.  I am waiting for support to call me at 3PM eastern time.

Another "happy owner".

After 2 years 7 months my macbook pro late 2011 showed the same symptoms
