When did this expire?
I should have been notified of this hardware fault and fix, especially considering I had extended Applecare. This was expensive top of the range Jan 2011 when I purchased.
Macbook Pro 15" mid 2010, 2.66 Ghz i7, 8gb ram, 500 GB 7200rpm HD, Hi rez 1680x1050 matte screen.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), mid 2010 15" 2.66 Ghz i7
This!
I was refused service two months ago!
Reasons being my macbook was older than 3 years (way to treat early adapters who buy top of the line computers from you) and because I am not the original buyer, how does that even matter? The issue only became apparent after I installed Yosemite, upgrading from Snow Leopard.
Bad Apple!!
MacBook Pro (15-inch, medio 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) 2,66 GHz Intel Core i7
Yes - I think this started happening on my computer once I installed Yosemite.
Interesting the replacement program closed right about that time as well.
Now that I'm researching this, I discover this expired program - of which I had no idea about. Looks like I'm out of luck.
I just found I have the same problem, and yes, it was fine before Yosemite. The "recall" has expired but I was told by my local Mac folks (not the Apple Store) that there is still a program that would give me a new motherboard for $360. Supposedly they'll fix anything else they find as well. I just have to drop my MBP at the shop so they can run a test. If the MBP fails it qualifies for the fix. It's not the answer I'd like but it could be worse. Personally I was already planning to upgrade this year so probably won't spend the money. If it gets too bad I'll go back to Mavericks for awhile.
When did this expire? Thanks for not informing me about this factory hardware fault.
