MacBook Pro A1286 Late 2011

I have MacBook Pro A1286 Late 2011. I loaded updates OS X in Thuesday. I have the latest versions of OS X.

MacBook can not boot on Friday. (Look photo)

I read on the Internet and in the forum Apple that this problem pushed a lot of people.

So looks mac on the start:

Then we have blue screen or grey screen:

if start win 7:

and then blue screen again.

If start win 7 (Boot camp) in safe mode:

(Test in service center)

I have heard that Apple has launched a program to replace graphics in iMac 2011.

Is there a similar program to replace the video card HD Radeon 6770m for my MacBook Pro 2011 late?

P.S.: Sorry for my English)

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

CHUVASCH,

to my knowledge, Apple does not have a policy to replace the AMD Radeon HD GPUs in Late 2011 MacBook Pros.

CHUVASCH,

if there be one central page on the Apple support site which lists all such models, I don’t have that page’s URL. You could use your preferred search engine to search on the term “repair extension program” on pages found at the support.apple.com site to generate your own list of models.

The problems other Users are having (or not having) has no impact on your problem. At this writing, there is no recall in effect for this model.

You will need to deal with YOUR Mac individually. You will need to take it to your Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for evaluation.

Do not hold your breath waiting for Apple or anyone else to provide a solution for every Mac of this model. (I own two of them, one early 2011 and one late 2011,and they are working just fine).

If a recall is eventually decided, they will refund what you paid for repairs.
