Repair Programme for early 2011 MBP Graphics Issue
I've had the logic board on my early 2011 15" MBP replaced for the second time free of charge by Apple. This is a known issue and Apple now has a specific programme for this repair. http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
My concern is, how do I know that my MBP will not need another logic board in the future? This first repair lasted about a year before the issue re-appeared, culminating in a total crash and grey screen on start up.
When I raised my concern with the Apple Genius staff member, I was told that the new logic board is a revised, Version 2 part and the issue (which some say was down to lead-free solder) will not return. Sounds good, but I've no way of knowing if this is just wishful thinking.
My question is; does any one know for sure if this is true? Has this part truly been re-designed? Does any one have first hand knowledge that these logic boards are now a new, trouble-free part?
