Brought my late 2011 MBP 17" into local Apple store, where they diagnosed video failure of the AMD Graphics Processor Unit (GPU).
Good news, Apple will replace the logic board, since the GPU has failed under MacBook Pro Repair Extension Program for Video Issues.
Bad news, Apple is now saying that they put a new logic board in but only get horizontal and vertical lines on the display. They said it's either a bad logic board that they put in or the display is bad, which is not covered.
Does that sound right?
