MacBook Pro Repair Extension Program for Video Issues
So I took my MacBook Pro to the Apple Store today to confirm that it needed to be repaired because of the Video Issue. They confirmed that it definitely was that issue, but unfortunately, there was nothing they could do because they said my (Early 2011) MacBook Pro was too old and they do not carry the parts to fix it. My computer started displaying these issues while I was on a plan on December 31, 2016, which ironically was the last day of the Repair Extension Program. I would only assume there would be back stock of these parts to fix my computer seeing that the program just ended two weeks ago. The tech said my computer is in excellent condition and that the Logic Board needs to be replaced to fix this problem. I was told there was nothing that Apple could do to rectify this problem. He suggested I sell the computer for parts (that I definitely do not want to do). Is there anyway around this technicality for Apple to fix this issue, or am I stuck with a laptop shaped paper weight? The computer will not boot and I don't have an extra $2000 laying around for a new one.
